I suppose by definition I am bisexual. Spent my entire teen & adult life in hetero relationships with only a few lesbian encounters over the years but always knew I was more attracted to women. Finally, at age 39, engaged in my first actual real lesbian relationship AND IT FEELS AWESOME!! I finally feel like ME. And although I am dead serious when I swear I am 100% done with men forever, a very select few, as before, men i srill find attractive. LOTS of women I find attractive... So I assume by everyone else's definitions I would be bisexual with a preference for women. Personally I consider myself lesbian Bc I know I am done with men even if no one else believes me yet. LOL (and most lesbians I know do find some men attractive but just would never touch... idk. I hate labels and this is why lol)
I have repressed myself sexually so I have zero experience (sexually or relationship wise) with men and I have been in love with woman. However my porn habits lead me to believe that my preference is leaning more towards guys. I really like woman it doesn't make sense to me to completely exclude them as potential partners but I check guys out more often.
I'm a 2 on the kinsey scale, but I consider myself to be heteroromantic... so more straight than bi, but still exploring! Also it's more about personality for me and not instant attraction..
I'm more fluid than bi, come to think of it. I was like 80/20 straight/gay growing up but it's more like 45/55 now.
I don't really have relationship experience yet but I think it's 50/50 thing I like specific characteristics in males and females so it's not like there's tons of people I can see if I'm attracted to. So funny recently at a restaurant I saw both types (from male and female) I'm attracted to like moments apart grrrrr...
I think I can say that I'm more straight than gay (and that phrase kinda confused me for a second there). Or perhaps it's more appropriate to say that I share more things in common with a straight man than with a gay man.
Ya it's confusing because if you're gay you're gay and if you're straight you're straight...I think that's what you were getting at there?...
I seem to rotate between being more into men and then more into women. I still secretly hope I am heterosexual sometimes but I'm learning to accept I'm likely not. So part of it could be I want to like men so maybe that's why I think about them?
Boy do I still hope deep down I'm heterosexual why is this solo hard? I know I'm not gay though because I am attracted to boys...
Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. I think it's hard if people aren't accepting or if we fear people won't be accepting. I used to think I was a lesbian but then I realized I think I like guys too. Or maybe I'm really just a lesbian in denial. I don't know, hopefully one day I will figure it out.
Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later for both of us. So how old are you? I'm 24 and my mom says I should know my sexual orientation by now.
Yes hopefully...I turned 20 on Saturday...and I really don't think there's an age to when you should know everyone is different...
Oh, I guess my birthday wish wasn't that belated then. I agree with you, 20 is still young and when people are discovering themselves.
Thanks yes it wasn't but even then I still don't think there's any age to know there are so many factors that go into it...
I agree. My mom is heterosexual so I don't think she gets that since she doesn't have personal experience.
