You've been through this before; I never agreed.

:
bi·sex·u·al ( P ) Pronunciation Key (b-sksh-l)
adj.
1. Of or relating to both sexes.
2a. Having both male and female reproductive organs; hermaphroditic.
2b. Botany. Denoting a single flower that contains functional staminate and pistillate structures; perfect.
3. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of either sex.
I stand corrected on 2a; though it is still not the common use. Definition 3 is the standard one. Your definition is strangely absent.

:
We've gone through this before, Nate_dog: a bisexual species is one that has two sexes; bi- meaning two, sex meaning sex.
that would make the word bisex or, more likely, dual-sex. However sexual does not mean the same as sex. Sexual refers to your sexuality rather than your gender.
