Kaitlyn, 38, has said in the media that she's bisexual, and she revealed during a May 2023 episode of the "Out & About" podcast that she actually hid that fact from The Bachelor producers during casting for Chris Soules' season nearly a decade ago.

Now that Kaitlyn holds nothing back about her sex life from fans, she discussed how she typically loses her sex drive a year-and-a-half into her relationships during the Tuesday, February 6 episode of her "Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe" podcast.

"I'm like, 'Once every two weeks is fine.' I don't need it... But lately, I've been like, 'I think I've got it back!' I, like, want it," Kaitlyn shared.

Kaitlyn's podcast guest, Stassi Schroeder, asked whether The Bachelor alum has ever lost her sex drive completely.

"Yeah, oh, yeah, it was gone," Kaitlyn replied. "I thought I was asexual. I literally thought I was asexual."

Kaitlyn said she felt that way "at the end of a relationship," but she didn't reveal if it was with her first fiance Shawn Booth, from whom she split in November 2018; her second fiance Jason Tartick, from whom she split in August 2023; or an ex-boyfriend who preceded her The Bachelor days.

"I was like, 'I think at this point, I could see myself more with a woman.' I actually thought that -- than a man," Kaitlyn shared. "Because I was like, 'I get it. I think women are hot, and I could do that.'"

Kaitlyn recalled, "I was just like, 'I guess this is it, [I'm no longer into men],' and I was fine with it. But then once I started going on a couple dates, I was like, 'Oh, [maybe not].'"

Kaitlyn has been dating The Bachelorette 16 winner Zac Clark, who was previously engaged to Kaitlyn's friend and former The Bachelorette star Tayshia Adams.

"I didn't really jump into dating a bunch. I was more flirting at first. But I had that urge. I was kind of like, 'Ooh, I kind of would like to hook up,'" Kaitlyn revealed.

"[I thought], 'I would like his P in my V. Yeah. And I was really proud of myself for that because I was like, 'Okay, I'm not the desert down there.'"

When Stassi noted how Kaitlyn "got her groove back," the Season 11 The Bachelorette star quipped, "She did. She did, ladies and gentlemen. This is why I can't write a book."

After Kaitlyn announced her split from Jason last summer, TMZ asked her if she'd be open to dating women in the future.

"I'm just open to love in general. But not any time soon," Kaitlyn said at the time.

Bachelor Nation has been watching Kaitlyn closely ever since she sparked a romance with Zac.

Kaitlyn acknowledged in January how she's been "drawing a lot of negative attention" lately.

Kaitlyn, for instance, has been accused of breaking "girl code" with Tayshia since the women are friends and had co-hosted back-to-back seasons of The Bachelorette in 2021.

Kaitlyn was also bashed for allegedly trying to get on-camera as much as she could -- with some fans claiming she's desperate for attention -- during The Golden Bachelor couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist's The Golden Wedding special that aired live in early January on ABC.

Kaitlyn also recently confessed Jason "disappointed" her in the way that he had handled gossip about her new relationship with Zac.

"I'm a little bit disappointed. I'm going to try to not get emotional -- because I cried all day yesterday -- but it's really disappointing to me, the way that Jason's kind of leaning into the victim mentality," Kaitlyn shared on the January 4 episode of her "Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe" podcast.

"I don't want to dismiss that he's hurting. I don't want to dismiss that his feelings are valid and his feelings are hurting. But I have talked to him so openly and honestly. And I am [hurting too]. We have been so transparent with each other to have respect for one another."

Kaitlyn had hosted a New Year's Eve party at her new home in Nashville, TN, on December 31, and the Instagram account @BachelorNation.scoop posted a video of Kaitlyn and Zac looking cozy as they counted down to midnight together.

The footage sparked gossip they're currently dating -- and that Kaitlyn possibly cheated on Jason before they officially announced their split last summer.

Kaitlyn issued a public statement denying she had ever cheated on Jason, who, hours later, responded to the noise and wrote via Instagram, "Jan 2, 2024. The first official day of 2024."

And on top of all that, Kaitlyn's Instagram account is always flooded with negative comments about how she looks "so different" from when she first found fame.
