Thank you for reaching out to EmpowHER with your question!
I don't think that the fact your boyfriend has trouble connecting sexually necessarily means he is bisexual. Like you said, he is shy and young, so I think that is more the cause of the issue. He may be very shy about engaging sexually and might be nervous about what to do exactly. If he is shy and doesn't have a lot of experience in this area, it is possible he might be self-conscious about it.
I think it is important to have an open conversation with your boyfriend about this. Conversation is key to a healthy relationship. I would set some time aside this weekend or early next week to talk to your boyfriend about your concerns. Keep the conversation open and non-judgmental. Putting your concerns out on the table may also help him feel more comfortable with your sexual relationship.
I hope this has helped! Please keep us updated and let us know if you have further questions.
