Sexuality?

Im straight; though slightly having hesitant bi tendencies but i am sure i like guys

Funfact - when u are in an all girls school u cant get close to any female they will assume you like like them esp during kids and boy that changed my sexuality from maybe being lesbian/bi to nope im defs straight

I find it interesting for me how in my case it was the people around me that affected my overall sexuality lol

I am straight - haven't felt the need to experiment further than watching non-hetero porn out of curiosity and just not being turned on by it at all

Currently in a polyamorous relationship (1M:2F), which isn't what I want long-term, but for now, ehn. His wife wanted to open the marriage, and him and I are super compatible, so that's a thing. His wife's grandmother with dementia asked if her husband was running a harem once LOL

Sorry to pry but just trying to understand what that's like - is that difficult for you though? To my understanding, demisexual means you need to form a strong emotional attraction to a person to be sexually attracted as well, and while I personally don't like using labels like that (because I would rather just say "I am only sexually attracted to people I have a strong emotional connection with"), I would identify with that one.

But I suppose you are personally polyamorous as well to some degree if you can handle that, though I don't know if that can coexist with being 'demisexual' - I just know if it were me, it would kill me to know the person I love also loves someone else. Do you ever feel that way or are you totally okay with it?

Don't need to answer if it's an uncomfortable question! Just kinda curious.

been straight all my life, never questioned it or anything.

I am bi, but i prefer girls over guys by a lot. But I am open to guys, slim but its there.

I think it would definitely suck if he and his wife were still involved romantically. The whole situation is ridiculously complicated. As mentioned, this dynamic is far from my monogamy ideal, but in a way it is more monogamous than polyamorous as she does her own thing. It works short-term, but unless they divorce, it will end eventually. Their marriage is in shambles so who knows shrugs

It causes a lot of issues as he is himself capable of giving me the type of relationship dynamic I want emotionally, but he has this giant burden following him around who neither works nor treats him kindly and who has issues on every front. She absorbs his time and money and is the source of 99% of interpersonal conflicts that occur in the house. I am invested in his wellbeing and am hoping by the time I move on to my career post-professional education that they will have at least separated. If not, it?ll be upsetting, but ultimately I want the standard NA family experience, minus the oppressive gender roles, and if he still has her around, it?s not viable.

My first HS crush/attempt at a relationship was a boy. My first actual relationship was with a girl. Last so far, with a genderfluid/agender person I have addressed by all kind of pronouns. So I think this is what you call pansexual.
Though my preferences about men are... much narrower.

honestly for myself, its like they will have to act all feminine before i date them, but if i do find the right guy, then sure i will go for it. I dont have much preferences but its like, i know it when i find it.

I guess I would be pansexual, although I usually just say bisexual....
It's kind of weird how it works, I have a strong preference towards girls (for every 1 boy I like there's probably 10 girls I like) but when I do end up liking a boy I like them a lot more usually? idk it's kind of weird lol
And I'd be fine dating someone of any gender as long as I was attracted to them. I've been in a relationship with both a girl, and a nonbinary person who once identified as male so I've kinda had experience with all different types, but none of my relationships really went anywhere so... idk

Also fun fact: Fire Emblem helped me tons with accepting my sexuality

Yeah its kinda hard to explain the whole story but it had a lot of male characters I really liked

Honestly? I have no idea. When I think about it, I just don't know whether I like girls or guys better, or just anyone in that way. It constantly flips, and I just don't know what my sexuality is. I'm fine with that though. Let's just say I'm keeping my options open.

I am bisexual and I've known for a long time.

I'm straight but I like being single.

I'm one of the rare heterosexuals who had trouble coming to terms with their sexuality and identifying it, because I've always had an eye of envy for things other guys had (mostly muscle related, even before getting involved in the gym life) that I confused for sexual interest, despite no sexual reaction. It took me a while to mentally differentiate between the two.

I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that I'm gay, but with VERY few exceptions. And those exceptions are men who I have very deep, personal relationships with that have crossed into emotional territories due to personality traits - not physical characteristics. My fiancé, for instance.

But as a general, overall feeling, I find myself sexually attracted to women. If there's a label for whatever this is than feel free to tell me, haha.

Consider me shook.

Am I gay?

I'm pretty sure I'm bisexual... I know that much. I'm also asexual/aromantic as well. I do lean more towards guys than girls though, but I'm not entirely sure why. I just know that I've only recently discovered my sexuality and such.

Although I used to be attracted to girls, nowadays I'm just not attracted to anyone at all, which I'm fine with.

I used to think I was bi, but now I'm starting to think I'm straight.
