Well, mostly yes. If it weren't the case, I think most people would be bisexual. It isn't difficult to get turned on by or have deep feelings for either gender. A lot of people could get off if some is rubbing them the right way. However, most people are more intrigued with one more than the other, regardless of how open they are to the other.
That being said, there are people who genuinely feel exactly the same toward both genders. That would be truly bisexual. Otherwise, it seems a lot of it is simply intrigue and/or openness.
I think if we're being PC, you would define several bisexuals as bi-curious.
But that's not what it means. A bisexual person CAN be attracted to both sexes equally, but they don't HAVE to be in order to be bisexual. Bisexuality really is simply being attracted to more than one gender, even if their attractions are in unequal proportions.
If they're not sure if they're attracted to both genders and are still exploring, I could agree that they could be considered bi-curious. But just because 90% of who someone is attracted to are male and 10% are female, that doesn't mean they are bi-curious. If they have found out this is their true orientation, they are bisexual.
"MYTH: “One cannot identify as bisexual unless they like both men and women equally."
FACT: Some bisexual people are overwhelmingly attracted to men and occasionally attracted to women. Some bisexual people are overwhelmingly attracted to women and occasionally attracted to men. Some prefer to date genderqueer or gender non-conforming partners. The spectrum of bisexual people includes all kinds of individual preferences. The only thing that bisexual people have in common is that they are attracted to people of more than one gender."
I know the definition. I read it in the dictionary. I disagree with the definition in the dictionary. I'm not really interested in a debate about it, but thank you.
IIN I don't believe in Bi-sexuality?

Do you think that in order for someone to be bisexual, they have to be attracted to both sexes equally?
