Bi-znatiželjan je pojam za osobu, obično onu koja je heteroseksualna, znatiželjna ili otvorena prema seksualnim aktivnostima s osobom čiji se spol razlikuje od spolnog odnosa njihovih uobičajenih seksualnih partnera.[1][2][3] Pojam se ponekad koristi za opisivanje širokog kontinuuma seksualne orijentacije između heteroseksualnosti i biseksualnosti.[4] Takvi kontinuumi uključuju uglavnom heteroseksualne ili uglavnom homoseksualne, ali oni se mogu identificirati bez identificiranja kao biseksualni.[5] Pojmovi heterofleksibilni i homofleksibilni uglavnom se primjenjuju na bi-znatiželjnike, iako neki autori razlikuju heterofleksibilnost i homofleksibilnost kao nedostatak "želje za eksperimentiranjem sa seksualnošću" koju implicira bi-znatiželjna oznaka.[6]
