The 10-15% number that always gets quoted can almost always be traced back to Kinsey (I believe his actual numbers where 13% for men and 7% for women). However if you look at the actual data from Kinsey you'll find that those numbers include both people who have conducted any sexual act with someone of the same sex (even if it was only once when they where young, and they decided it wasn't their cup of tea), and people who fantasize about the idea, but have never done anything about it.

Do I need to have homosexual sexual relations to prove I'm bisexual?

Furthermore, you can hate anal sex yet still be bisexual, homosexual, etc.

Far from it, you have it backwards. My point is that having had homosexual sex doesn't automatically make you bi/homosexual. I've said nothing about the relation in the other direction.

Furthermore, you can hate anal sex yet still be bisexual, homosexual, etc.

Of course. I never said anything to the contrary. There are lots and lots of ways of having "sex", many that don't involve sticking your penis in an orifice and having penises stuck in your orifices.

edit: In case something was unclear, Kinsey's numbers obviously also included people who self-identified has home/bisexual, no matter their sexual history(or lack of it)
