In my earlier years I played both sides of that fence too.
The sex was not substantially better or worse either way, it was just different. My main reason for identification as gay was that I was never able to make the type of mental connection with a female that I was able to achieve with a male.
A truly bisexual individual has the ability to make all connections on the same level in either gender and in truth I envy that ability. I think that having that ability would be a great advantage and in far more places than the bedroom.
Again, I am old enough and lived through the times when the terminology of whore was based on needing a calculator to figure out numbers of previous sex partners. The late 1970's had those elememts and yes it was tons of fun.
I can talk of some parties in the Hollywood hills in that era that were something.
I could go into graphic detail of how these were done, but this was a time long ago and things are different now. One could leave one of these gatherings having had at least some carnal knowledge of 25 or more people by the end of an evening of "pleasure". The gatherings were comprised of individuals who were either bisexual or uninhibited enough not to care about which gender it was that they were playing with.
My obeservations over time and more of those parties than I should have ever participated in were as follows:
Sexually men having the same equipment can be far less inhibited when it comes to giving pleasure to another man. Some women were equally good, don't get me wrong, but by numbers, more men would know what they were doing orally or by hand than the average female presented with the same choices.
Anal intercourse with either was the same. Vaginal intercourse depended a great deal on the female and her personal anatomy. In some females the shape of the vaginal barrel is such that the sensation is less than the anal canal. In some females it is equal and some femals also have the power to control some muscles in that area that can improve things a great deal. Not all have that ability.
In oral sex it also ran the gamut. Many females were extremely inhibited when it came to oral sex. They were hesitant to do things that would give great pleasure to their partners. Those that were good were excellent, but those that were lousy made a hand job look great by comparison. By percentage more males were the gold medal winners when it came to oral or "doing the deep throat" act.
With regards to odor it would depend on the female and the hygiene practices of that individual. It also would depend on where she was within her menstrual cycle. Some had odors that were pretty rank and others did not.
The same is true of men, some men have both semen and seminal fluid that gives off enough odor to really need a 55 gallon drum of air freshener. This is an individual thing and cannot be judged as a specific for or against either.
The best sex comes with the mental link up. This is where your sex partner gains focus on you and you in turn gain focus into the wants and needs on an anticipatory sexual level of your partner. It may be the right caress at the right time, or the right change in a thrust, or the right action of a tongue in the right place just when that person wants and needs that specific thing. It can be many things combined. If it works consistently for you it works, if it doesn't work consistently for you with one gender or the other you tend to gravitate towards the one that works better.
I found personally that I was far more easily able to find the link point with males than I was with females. This final component is where the real cementing of the concepts comes together.
I had more than one female girlfriend for many years and they were all different types. All of these females were great individuals and to this very day I would go way out of my way for any and all of them collectively.
I am however also very happy with the choices I made in the end because it was what worked for me personally.
