Your story.

[HollisterrBboyy]

Since I was about 13 or 14, I realized I have these intense sexual, emotional and physical attractions to men, and not so much women. As the years have progressed, seeing as I'll be 16 soon, I really am beginning to think I'm gay, but I'll see a really attractive girl, and I'll have sexual ideas, like any other normal straight person, so I'm kind of confused about my sexuality. Coming from a family where my parents are the youth leaders at a traditional baptist church, I can't obviously say I have these feelings. Hah. I just wanna know if anyone has been in this situation, or something similar? And if you finally confirmed your sexuality in regards to being gay or bi, when did you come out? How was it? Were you rejected or accepted? I just wanna know your story. :)

I don't have a story but I don't think your gay, I would say bi as you did say you find both attractive and have sexual feelings towards them.

[Curoz]

Sounds like your bi.
I have the same feelings, you don't have to come out if you feel you wont be accepted, but I think its important to acknoladge it in your mind.

I around the same age started becoming much more attracted towards males. I still have some attraction towards females but not as strong as I am towards males. I consider myself bi but more on the gay side. I'm 17 now and I have finally told someone besides my best friend. My parents aren't really religious, so I don't have a problem like yours. But according to the bible it never says anything that God hates gays, only the words of others. Hope you can sometime figure out your situation and it all comes out well. Good luck. =)

I think you might be bi

[Electra Heart]

Maybe your bi... Sort of the same thing happened to me and now I am

[Unlucky_Leprechaun]

Continue to try and figure it out... you have plenty of time. No need to tell anyone until you are sure yourself..curious? ya... bi? possibly.. just continue to try and figure it out...

I'm going to say your bi. Bi leading towards guys. I think I'm in the same boat as you, except, my parents are not youth pastors. They're religious though.

[RobbieK1]

like the others your probably bi

boysp101 :arrow: teen sexuality

[nameless12]

i would say that you are bi, sound like it ;)

[grstl]

I have had a similar life... Baptist preacher dad and perfect mom, so I have always had to quietly explore my taste for boys. Now I am camoflaged by a girlfriend who knows and stays and our son. But deep down, I really am dying to be free to openly be ALL of me to everyone. Sounds like you're at least bi, and if you figure out how to resolve the religion and sexuality thing, let the rest of us know. Good luck....... and God bless?

Thanks, I just hate that I can't be open about my feelings towards boys with my parents. I can just see me saying that, and them kicking me out or going into this long, detailed list of how bad I am, or both. I mean, I don't even know how I would bring that topic up! D:

[BOSSPENGUIN]

mine is weird i knew i was straight but for some reason out of no where i would think i was gay but i wasnt. so i asked myself one day "do i think guys are attractive" i thought no i dont i think girls are so i then knew i was straight. sexuality isnt something easily decided it takes awhile to figure out just alot you time thinking you will figure it out

I couldn't tell my parents either. My mom often ask me if I have a girlfriend already and then she is kinda excited. Then she asks what kind of girls do I like. So it seems there is no room in her mind me having a bf instead of gf. I really don't want to make her unhappy. It is strange but my father don't care much and never ask such questions which leads me to think that he is actually bisexual and knows exactly what is going on in my mind.
So we meet with my bf in ultimate secrecy. Officially he is just a friend.

Probably your mom is simply having the general assumption that her children are straight until proven gay.

(cop show reference lol)

You should consider telling your mother about your sexuality then? :)
