    To sum things up:

    -I previously identified as lesbian before figuring out that I liked guys
    -I'm now in a relationship with a guy whom I love
    -I don't know if I still am attracted to girls or not, but know for sure that I'm attracted to boys
    -At the current moment I'm not really attracted to anyone other than my boyfriend so I don't know how to judge whether or not I'm sexually attracted to girls??

    I thnk the best advice I could give you is to try to masturbate alone without porn or anything and see if thinking of a girl arouse you?

    Although you identified as a lesbian did you ever have a relationship or hookup with a female? And if so did you enjoy it, did you enjoy the sex, or did you think of men the entire time? Could be that you're just bisexual. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, considering you're happy with the person you're with in current time. Don't let it be an issue for you until you think it may be a factor effecting your life, just be happy. Now if you start questioning your relationship and get an attraction to a female, that's a factor in which you may want to question. Being bisexual in my eyes isn't a big issue though, each individual person likes who they like, and every individual is different, just be happy :slight_smile:

    I'm too young to have sexual relations with someone, so I'm basing it off of general sexual attraction w/o actual sex involved. Thank you for your input, I do think I could be bisexual but leaning towards guys at the current moment. My sexuality (at this point in my life, hormones have a big affect on things) is pretty fluid.

    The power of the current moment is probably what is keeping girl-attraction distracted. Sort of in the same way as love makes average-looking people drop-dead gorgeous. If at one time you thought you were lesbian you are probably "not totally straight". (Which btw is a convenient phrase/label; I use it, and let people just puzzle over it if they can't just accept it.)

    There is also the point that bisexuals are (usually) not dating both guys and girls simultaneously. This leads to a lot of questioning, by them and others, about whether their bisexuality is "real". I'm afraid this will never end. But whattya have to do to prove it? (Rhetorical question, don't answer.)

    And, as you point out, hormones are in full swing. (Lucky you!) Your self-searching is a good thing. It's ironic but true that people who don't question themselves really need it; those who do are usually doing the right thing already. So stay the course.
