    So I’ve recently realized I’m a lesbian. I don’t want to date men, be in a relationship with a man, have sex with a man, you get the point. But there will be times where I’m like “damn that man is attractive.” So like, what’s up with that?

    I’m the same way. Some men just get my heart racing.
    But I know I won’t take it anywhere because I have got zero interest in the male form in a sexual way.
    The people you find attractive have zero bearing on who you find interest in romantically.

    like for example, you may like looking at works by Degas, but I don’t think you’d ever buy an original copy, maybe just prints or scale reproductions.

    It might be the same as liking a painting maybe. The painting is cool but not sexually.

    This is me on the flip I side. I am gay but still find some women very attractive. I just don't get sexually aroused by them. Realising this was my turning point in accepting I am gay.

    I feel aroused when being intimate with a woman and feel the urge to make love with her, but not especially when looking at a picture of a naked women.
