What do I qualify as?

[HeyFellers]

Hey everyone,
Okay so I'm 17 and tell people that I'm straight (sometimes I tell people I'm straight but curious). I'm physically attracted to both genders, but only emotionally attracted to girls. That said, I've been physically attracted to guys for like 5 years and I'm more strongly physically attracted to guys than I am to girls. Is this simple bicuriosity or something else? Would you classify me as straight/curious or bi?

It might be as simple as you haven't found a guy you are emotionally connected to yet, or a girl who turns you on. Honestly I hate to put it this way, but why worry? Does everything need a label?

It's not the label I care about, it's te fact that I dont fully understand myself

Only you can tell and it might take time. A lot of people go through this phase of uncertainty. I agree with Dayton, maybe you haven't found the right people yet. Approach things on a person by person basis, you don't need to know why you like or should like something but whether you do or not. As long as you don't hinder those feelings, it doesn't really matter. In the end, sexuality is measured on a spectrum, different people are at different places on it, accept your place and the rest will follow.

I think you gay but you seem like someone who's unsure

[StoppingTime]

At 17, I am kind of doubting that it's curiosity anymore. Assuming you've gone through that stage of puberty and all, it isn't curiosity anymore, in fact. Most likely though, you still haven't completely figured yourself out, which is OK. Just remember that you usually are only bi/gay etc... if you are emotionally attracted to that sex/gender as well, so I kind of doubt you are, since you didn't mention this.
There's still time though, and don't rush the decision.

I think your just curious dude, sounds like you've only thought about it but haven't acted on it yet.

Sex is sex and love is love, that's my philosophy. You're probably bisexual, but that doesn't mean that you would want to date one; just means you are attracted to both sexes.

What do you mean by 'emotionally' attracted? I feel like this term can be somewhat ambiguous.

I'm assuming he means he can't see himself having a relationship with them, he doesn't feel that romantic connection, only a sexual attraction.

I'm the exact same way. I'm sexually attracted to girls, and I like to mess around with them, but I can't date a girl. I've tried and there's always something missing for me. And I'm both romantically and sexually attracted to guys. I don't know what to call it either though, sorry :/ I just consider myself straight. It feels weird to say that I'm curious at this point because... well, I'm not. I know what I like, there's no doubt in my mind. Sorry this wasn't much help haha.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

You are bicurious dude.

[anymasy]

I don't think that you are gay, but i don't believe in a category like Straight but curious so you are bisexual and being bisexual nothing to be afraid of. But you can keep telling people that you are straight because bisexuals are mostly straight. You just wonder how it feels. I'll pass.
