Looking for other peoples opinions!

[pmm98]

I've made posts about sexuality and what not before, but I seem to still be having a bit of confusion.

I understand that in order to be straight or gay, you have to be physically and emotionally attracted to only girls or guys. No middle ground. That's what seems to be the final definition of sexual orientation.

However, I also understand that there is a lot of shades of gray with sexuality. That most people aren't exclusively gay or straight but are much more inclined towards one sex.

Now for myself, I know I am not gay. I don't have an emotional attraction to a man, I have no interest in them in that fashion. I wouldn't date, marry, propose, kiss or live with a man. It is the opposite for girls, I am strongly attracted, emotionally and physically, to women. Yet, if I saw gay porn or a naked man i'd probably get aroused.

My issue is that I don't know whether I am bisexual, straight, or bi curious. I know that regardless of what anyone says in this post it won't define my sexuality, only I can truly know, but I am just looking for some friendly input.

Finally, I would like to say that I think that a minor part of my sexual attraction is based on familiarity. By that I mean that I think my arousal by NAKED men is just because I myself am a man, and I am familiar with that particular part of my body and I know what I like. ALWAYS, I am turned on by women unless I am strictly not in the mood to be horny or aroused etc. but in that case I am not turned by men either. So I think this is fairly irrelevant.

So to anyone replying, do you think that with all that being said I am straight, bisexual, or just bicurious and that it will fade over time? Just curious what other peoples opinions are.

I'd also like for people to keep in mind that it is ONLY NAKED men that get me aroused, not clothed men, obviously.

Your fine man. Sexual orientation is just a label. You obviously are extremely sexual. Be proud of it. Your just exploring yourself.

Thanks man, it's nice to get a little re-assurance, even though I wasn't overly worried. It's really not a big deal, and I was raised with the confidence to accept myself for whatever I am, which I do believe is straight, but like you said for right now, i'm just going to enjoy sexuality in general.

Moved to Teen Sexuality

Sexuality is something that takes a bit of time to figure out. I have some what come to terms with mine, but who knows - I could feel differently tomorrow than I do today. You don't need to slap a label on yourself to 'fit in' with a 'group'. If you are unsure, don't worry - you will find yourself in time.

I think you could be straight, but then again you could be bisexual or just curious. At this age it can be tough for you to decide or stick to one sex due to fluctuating hormone levels which affect your decision making.

As I said, you will find yourself in time. It just takes a little bit - don't worry :)

Honestly, you sound straight but, in the end, it doesn't matter.

Sexuality takes awhile to figure out and I think a lot of people only choose labels to try to fit in more or have something to identify with. However, if you don't know, don't feel like you need to have a label to tell people.

I've given up trying to explain my sexuality to people. I just no longer care. In the end, who I choose to love will be whoever I think is right and people can infer whatever they like from that.

Explore. If you're aroused by certain things, don't let it define you right away because it could change or maybe it won't. Don't worry too much about the label as much as what you are attracted to in a person. It'll just be another word at the end of the day.

By the time you are a teen weird things arouse you, hell when my testosterone flairs up a duck could arouse me. You could be Bi or you could just be really confused, it is really hard to tell . So when you think about it it's not really that weird.
