Okay, so I am an 18 y/o (male) virgin. Sexually, and ONLY sexually I am attracted to males. (Only watch gay porn, etc.) But everything else, I am attracted to females. Like the thought of being in a relationship/married to a guy just doesn't appeal to me. I am willing try try intercourse with a girl, but thought just doesnt arouse me. Do you think I’m bi or gay and in “denial?"

I am the same would rather have sex with guys but could only hold a decent relationship with a girl, i identify as bi and i think thats as close as you will get to be able to identify yourself but everyone is a little bit bi for the right person anyway XD.

You might be homosexual but heteroromantic. You can be whatever you want to be. Labels don't mean anything, everyone is different. If you want an outright label, do a Kinsey test.

There is no Kinsey Test, only a Kinsey Scale, which people use to identify themselves on. And any test to identify your own sexuality is complete BS, and they all stereotype the crap out of it, and it means nothing. The only one who knows your sexuality is you.
With that said, this is certainly an interesting case. Romantic attraction is usually the same as sexual attraction, but not all the time. I think the only way to figure out what you like would be to experiment, try a relationship, & go from there. The "label" if you care would be as Northy said "homosexual but hetero-romantic" But I've always found everything to be too fluid to label, so whatever.

I would say that sexuality is very hard to explain sometimes. Based on what you mentioned, you could be bisexual curious, as you do show attraction to both genders, regardless of the situation.
When meeting people, don't think about gender or sexuality or labels right now. As time goes on, it should be easier to figure that stuff out and accept yourself.

Well, I took three different Kinsey scale test; One said I was a 2 (Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual) and the other two said I was a 3 (Equally heterosexual and homosexual)

There are tests and they helped me to realise my sexuality. They are not definitive and only you can decide where you are, but they do give an indication.

Sounds like you could be bi, but only you know. The Kinsey scale test only gives an indication. It is up to you too decide who you are.

Your sexuality and romantic attraction can be phrased as 2 separate things. It sounds as though you're homosexual and heteromantic. That's a massive fuss to say and explain so as said above I'd go with just being bi as a general term. No need to label though, just act on however you feel and be yourself.

This stuff is hard to figure out, and having to label it is .... socially acceptable but stupid.
Laying on the sofa or my bed, I like a guy to cuddle with me. I like to spoon or be spooned by a boy. But to sit next to each other and talk and hold hands and maybe even make out, a girl is best. Sex? Either one, although I lean a tiny bit toward guys.
I don't even try to label it. In fact, I don't even try to think about it. I'm attracted to whatever nature makes me attracted to. Every person is different, it's impossible to really classify us.

^^^This.
Don't rush towards a label or let it confine you, just allow yourself to honestly find out what it is you like with time and experience.
Work out what you like, and be comfortable in your sexuality, rather than forcing a label or a fear upon yourself.
