I genuinely can't think of anyone I know (including through the internet) who pronounces themselves as bi-sexual.
I know a few gay people, who are also attracted to a limited number of people of the opposite sex.
I know a couple of people who don't just avoid announcing their sexuality, they tend to avoid participating in this sort of conversation, even if it is happening around them.
And a few people who say tend to use the word poly when their sexuality comes up.
I do actually pronounce myself as such, but only, actually, because the NUS LGBT conference made me do so, and it's an easy label to use. I tend to think of myself as people-sexual, as it is (as, surely, in any case whether straight, gay or other) more complicated than simply bi.
