Am I considered gay?

[AlwaysConfused]

Ever since I can remember i have been called gay when i knew i wasnt. Now i am confused and i dont really know my sexuality. I looked at pictures of women undressing and stuff and I got an erection that lasted a few minutes but then i saw a man and got stiffer and it lasted longer. I feel like i am straight but i dont really know what the feeling is. Can someone give me advice.

Part of puberty mate.. we all go through it slightly, some more than others, its not a way to become gay or a gateway. if you feel you need male 'stimulation' see if theres people you could masterbate with or so on. but dont go too far as any of this can ruin a realtionship and friendship. also, start hanging around with other men to remove the axiety of it all.

I don't think you need to rush to any conclusions about your sexuality. There's nothing in what you've said above that would allow anyone to say whether your straight, gay or bi. Its not unusual to be interested in, and get arousal from all kinds of bodies at this age.

My friend, I get it too... Even though I am bi. Just ignore, ignore, and ignore, and if that doesn't work, try some funny comebacks such as:

"Whatever makes you feel better about your own sexuality..."
or
"Why, do you find me irresistable?"
or
"That's funny...your mother didn't think I was gay last night"

or try these:

----------------------------------
"So what's your point?" That usually shuts them up because they have to think.

"Obviously you haven't bet the right woman/man either."


A man says to me that I'm gay, "Yeah, and your wife enjoys me too."

Once, a woman and her three children thought I was a man when I walked into the restroom. She said, "This IS the WOMEN's RESTROOM." Before I could bite my toungue out flew, "Yeah, so what are you doing in here, don't you know that dogs go outside." She left, got the manager and he called the police. Thank Gawd one of the officers, Kate, was someone I knew. I didn't have my ID at the time and the woman was trying to say that I "flashed her"---yeah right, she'd probably be on her knees wanting a lick or two. LOL!

Sometimes, if they are real jerks, I say, "Duh! How did you figure that one out, Identifying Dykes for Dummies."
----------------------------------------

maaaan... I'm going to use these! Glad you came along for me to look them up! =)

Good luck though, yes... it does suck to be 'one of the breed', but look on the bright side! If you are more attracted to men ( like me... ish), just think! YOU have a penis! Thats what you would love, right? =)

Have you heard of King Canute, sort of legend in english history, thought he could stop the waves coming up the beach. Dont hate it and dont try to stop, its natural and the more you fight it the worse you'll feel.

Hope this isnt a religious thing. I regard myself as Christian but don't let the religious fundamentalists ruin your life. Condemnation & judgement are very much Old Testament, Jesus was the friend of Mary Magdalene - a prostitute. Do you really think he'd object to the odd teenaged hand job?

I know its normal but when the cum comes out it burns and idk y. I am definitlt str8. Why do you ask?

The problem is this: you're looking at it wrong. It's not simply straight, gay, bisexual with nothing inbetween. It's on a continuum, so you can be mostly straight but have some homosexual likings or the other way around. Below is a link to the Kinsey Scale, which shows exactly what I'm talking about:

I'd assume you're in the range from 0 to 2.

The same happens to me it's very normal sometimes even when your talking about it reading your thing about ladys undressing just gave me an erection!
