So we've all heard of "straight but curious..."

[Cognizant]

...but is it possible to be gay, but curious about sexual interaction with the opposite gender? I say that because I'm having doubts about my sexuality again. I've mostly been attracted (both romantically and sexually) to guys, though that isn't to say that I've had feelings for girls in the past. I just don't know if that would mean that I could classify myself as bi and "just haven't met the right girl yet," or if it would be possible that I am gay and would just want to experiment with girls.

Thoughts?

Yes, it's possible to be gay and bi-curious. Most people assume that gay people can't be bi-curious since they've maybe already experimented and tried to figure out their sexuality, but it's not true. I guess I could consider myself bi-curious, even though I'm gay. Though I can't see myself with a guy romantically at all, in the right situation, I might not be opposed to experimentation. By "have feelings for girls" do you mean romantically, sexually, or both?

To be honest, either way is very possible. As much as there is the "straight but curious" aspect, a "gay but curious" also exists. The problem with the world is that people seem to believe that everybody starts out straight. I suppose that is somewhat true since little children hardly care about love and whatnot. That aside, everyone will agree in the existence of "straight but curious" but not "gay but curious".

In terms of how you feel about the whole thing, that's honestly something for you to decide. Are you definitely sure that you are gay and interested in being in a gay relationship, or is your interest with girls similar to that with guys? By that, I mean do you have that "oh-I-want-a-relationship-with-her" kind of feel as you do with cute guys? Those kinds of things along with some other deep self-reflection stuff is what you need to do to figure out the answer on your own.

Personally, I'm kind of having trouble with my own sexuality. I can't label myself as gay or bi because I'm just not sure. Long story short, I gave up trying to find a label for myself and instead prefer to wait whoever comes my way. I can't say I'm gay (had a boyfriend before after all) nor straight (because I find girls cute and datable regardless having no girlfriend before). The world can say that I'm bi from that viewpoint, but I put no label on myself as it's misleading and forces others to compartmentalize you in a specific group and have you be seen as strange if you're a gay doing an otherwise very straight thing.

The point of that tangent was to say its okay to doubt your sexuality. For me, I just refuse to put a label on it after debating it for god knows how many years already. It's jut not worth the time and effort anymore. That thought nay not exactly work for you, but don't let the uncertainty continue to plague your mind. After all, labels are just a way for the world to dictate who is supposed to be what. But if you want to classify yourself as something, then just be patient. You're still in high school, there's plenty of time to figure all that out.

I would say I'm gay but curious about females to a degree. I don't think I'll ever have a relationship with one....but could see myself trying vaginal sex at least once someday if the opertunity presented itself. But will always want to be with a guy all the rest of the time.

Sounds normal to me your just curious about something you haven't done.

Why not? Quite frankly, when it comes to sexuality, I don't see how anything could really be impossible.

yes it is - sexuality and how it is defined is very much for the individual.

[Unde4dmau5]

I mean, when it comes down to it, I believe that it is possible. It's human nature to be curious, whether you are straight but curious about the same sex, or gay but curious about the opposite sex. So yeah, it is entirely possible. Now, I wouldn't go so far as to say that you are bi. Because that is all in you and who you are. This may just be a small thing you are going through, so I wouldn't think on it too heavily. You will know for sure in time, friend.

I am also on the same boat as yours. Am not sure about boys and have some feelings at times. Always liked girls, and older than me. I also fancy women aged upto 40.
