    Ahh.. Finally a forum site I can find some help on!

    So, I've identified as a lesbian for 3+ years, only just a few weeks ago have I started to doubt it.
    I realized that I'm not 100% attracted to girls anymore, I'm mostly attracted to girls, but very, very rarely I have attraction for a guy.
    But the thing is, I'm not attracted to a certain guy per-say, I'm attracted to the thought of sex with a guy. Like, I am 99% attracted to females, I can see myself with a female, and I can see myself having sex with a female much more better than I can with a guy, although, sometimes I get excited at the fact of being penetrated and ejaculated into (embarrassing much? whoopsie.) but I don't envision a certain guy doing that to me. I don't visualize a girl either, just kind of.. nothing.
    I'm kind of confused about this, because I don't know if it's just a kink or if my sexuality is changing, because I get just as excited (actually, more excited) visioning a female with an ejaculating strap-on having sex with me.

    I really don't know what my sexuality really is anymore, I feel like I'm a lesbian with a little leeway, but I really don't think I'm bisexual, nor straight. I think I'm a lesbian with an ejaculating strap-on kink but I feel like a fake lesbian for having that kink, so if I continued to call myself a lesbian, would that cause trouble?

    Looking at other posts of people like me it seems I might just have a penis fetish instead of being bisexual or anything but lesbian, so I think that's who I am. I'd hate to close this thread so early, so I'll leave it open to discuss.

    In my opinion, no I think you're still a lesbian. It kind of sounds like a kink, from what you describe. It might be a different story if you generally picture men moreso than this, as well as women, in which case you might be bi. But from what you explained, that doesn't seem like the case.

    No problem! I do agree it sounds more like a kink (because my main attraction is women with the slightest attraction which I have established to be a kink). Although it really does help to know that I'm not crazy haha

    I think I need help with this again haha.
    Everyone is telling me I'm bisexual but I feel like that's not who I am, I feel like it's a kink but I feel like a fake lesbian for it. Because, I'm not necessarily attracted to a male penis, because I'd much rather it be a strap-on instead.

    I don't think it makes you a fake lesbian. Lots of lesbians like strap ons. Don't let people invalidate you

    Listen, if you think your a lezzie then go with it, you don't need to care what others think, plus strap-on's are great they never get limp :slight_smile:

    If you say you are rarely attracted to men, that's okay too. I'm a gay man but there are certain women that I am attracted to "I love Ashley Graham, she's a bigger girl but she is so pretty", not sexually but I just like them an awful lot. I am homosexual and bi-romantic, you sound bisexual and homo-romantic to me. If you like dicks, get yourself a guy and place a bag over his head, make him wear panties and call him Sally, poof you've got a chick with a dick. haha lol.

    I was joking about the find yourself a guy thing but seriously you need to consider the possibility that you are bisexual and homo-romantic

    Also you're only 17 you have alot of time to decide but you never have too, when I was 17 I was still fucking girls and confused and self concious about why I didnt like it, I didnt discover I was gay until I was 19.

    Some people will invalidate you even if you give them no reason to think otherwise or were the 100% stereotypical lesbian (not that I think there really is one, I'm just trying to make a point). You really can't go by that to judge your sexuality, Especially from what others would say or think.

    Thank you, although thinking about it, I'm not really turned off at the fact that I could be with a guy- It's more of the feeling that I wouldn't desire it, but if he was nice and we shared a lot of interests I would be with him. However, I do not desire sex or a relationship with a male, it's more of like I would do it not to feel lonely.
    Although, when i think about being with a woman, everything is checked off on the list. Sexual attraction, emotional attraction, sexual desire, etc. are all checked as a definite yes. Basically, I desire sex with females only.
    To get more in-depth here, whenever I read stories about straight sex or watch straight sex, I don't envision myself with the male. I just think about what it would feel like. So, when I get turned on from watching straight sex it's not the actual male penis, it's the penetration, which leads me to believe I just like penetration since it can easily be recreated with a strap-on.
    However, I do visualize being penetrated by a penis, although it is not necessarily a male penis, I guess you could say? I more envision myself being penetrated by a dildo than would be an actual penis, since there is no male involved, but no female either. Whenever I masturbate, I envision straight sex because it's easier for me to envision (NOT because I want to be with a male). It's easier for me to envision straight sex penetration than dildo penetration because I just find it hard to envision lesbian sex and the material of a dildo, while it's easier to just imagine a penis haha. Although, I don't envision a male doing this to me, and I also imagine it to just be dildo. A realistic dildo I guess you could say, that's not controlled by anyone, but if it's controlled by anyone, I try to vision a female.
    God, I really don't understand how I can say this haha.
    I don't even know what's going on with myself anymore. Am I a lesbian with a kink? I feel really weird about this.

    I don't know if I'm a bisexual or not, but I have a strange feeling of being called bisexual. It just.. Really makes me feel anxious. I feel like I'm automatically classifying myself as straight for some reason. I feel like I'm a homoflexible, but I really would like to still call myself a homoflexible lesbian. I just feel like.. Lesbians are really nice people, a really nice community, and just a lot of things I want to be a part of. I feel like crying and throwing up at the thought of being called bisexual for some reason, and I feel like throwing up at being called a lesbian too, because either this is a phase or a kink and it makes me feel like a fake lesbian. I don't really know what I am anymore.

    Im sorry if this is too forward but are you a virgin? you are very young and seem confused? If you are, try it with a man then a woman that you trust, and see what you like. Often times the expectation of what sex will be like doesnt live up to the reality :frowning2:

    I think the thing is you can be a lesbian and not be turned off or horrified at the thought of a man. I don't know about you but for me I just feel neutral about it.
    It sounds to me like you are a lesbian but you get turned on by the thought of penetration, but probably because society is so hetero driven your mind sometimes reverts to the image of a penis.

    There isn't a single definition you have to fit to be labelled a lesbian, some get turned on my heterosexual sex scenes or man on man sex scene it doesn't make them not gay it's just their make up.
    I think although it's diffficult the less you try and overthink this and worry about it the quicker it will settle down and become clearer.

    @silverhalo you're so right about our society being so hetero driven that it affects our fantasies, I love the IDEA of kissing a beautiful woman, The REALITY is when it happens to me, like when Im out with girlfriends who get a little too drunk and frisky, its feels so fucking weird, but I just play it off lest they find out Im gay. I think our sexual desires may reflect our desire to be accepted by our peers. Its also weird that Im gay but I dont watch gay porn, I find it off-putting.

    I am a virgin actually; although I don't have a man or woman I can trust that would try it with me (It seems very weird to go up to someone and go "Wanna bang so I can figure out my sexuality?" lol) Although, if I were given the chance to have sex with a man or a woman, I would choose the woman by far, so that might be a good enough answer.

    That's really comforting to hear; I take it that you feel the same way I do?

    I wouldn't say I feel exactly like you for all of it but certainly about the fact that men don't disgust me. I think that is why it took me so long to figure out I was gay, I always wondered why my friends went so crazy over guys, I was just like meh maybe sometime.
    I wouldn't rush to have sex to find out anything, just meet people and when you find someone you fall for which will probably be a woman then let things naturally progress and you know what if it's a man then so be it.

    Thank you both so much, I really appreciate your support and help!
    One last thing before I go; I should continue to identify as a lesbian, correct?

    Definitely! Until like I said before, if you start generally being more interested in relationships with men and women, but from everything you've said, I think you're a lesbian.
