I dont think I'm normal... :(

[xxxbxxx]

hey, so i have been having some trouble telling my orientation lately... since puberty, specifically. I'm 17 today, so i thought i would try to get this straightened out. I know for a fact that i like women. I always will. but i also seem to like boys around 12 yrs old... i get really gay fantasies about some. i have ever since i was around 12. but i'm not attracted to girls younger than 16. i dont know what it is... any advice? i'd rather not be attracted to 12 year old boys haha.

To be honest I wouldn't be labelling yourself just yet, I would wait another year or two, don't be in a rush too.
In saying that do you find yourself mentally and physically attracted to both sexes?, you also might be going through a phase, there are so many different outcomes, but don't panic. :)

well, i find myself mentally and physically attracted to women. only physically to younger boys... i woould never do anything, though. I have a conscious haha. but i am def not attracted to really young kids or guys my age and up

i almost feel like an untapped memory made me feel this way, but i can not for the life of me remember! ... i could just be giving myself a scapegoat though...

the only reason i posted this was because i hadn't ever heard of anyone else with this case... and i really dont consider myself a pedo (i'm not even of leagle age to have sex) because i would NEVER actually touch another kid. i find that repulsing in reality. but i cant deny that i DO have thoughts... idk, i feel a little old not to be sure of my orientation.

bump... :/

thanks for the hellp enigma :)

I dont know if its normal but my friend told me a similar story, so all i can say is that there is at least 1 other person who feels the same way.

Hm..You should probably just wait, See how things go. Other then that I have no real advice, good luck...x)

Everybody has something weird about them, as long as your aren't going around messing with 12 year olds, nothing's wrong with you. You'll probably grow out of it.

Up until a year ago I was pretty much the same way, but I grew out of it for the most part because I'm just not on the same page as younger guys. Also, graduating high school has caused me to even be interested in guys older than me.

Often times this is a bit related to low self esteem or shyness so think hard on that and if that might be part of it, don't underestimate or look down on yourself, maybe perty up and go shopping or whatever if you think that is necessary.

Main thing is to interact with people your own age, particularly people you might be interested in and try to focus on them instead. Keep it within a few years and try to keep the thoughts out of your head. NEVER act on the thoughts because it could haunt you forever, just learn to redirect them towards people your own age.
