What makes your sexuality?

[lightkun]

So I'm in the middle of highschool and I'm very curious (as far as str8, gay, bi) first, is this normal? And second, what exactly makes u full blown gay/str8/bi? I just need to figure myself out...

:arrow2: Teen Sexuality

[misery_business]

It could just be a teenage thing, but people who think they are bi or gay at a kind of young age most of them are right and they end up being that sexuality when their older..
are you attracted to both men and women seually and emotionally ?
would you see yourself in a relationship with guy? or girl...

[Andreww]

Yeah it's pretty much how you're attracted to one or each gender physically and emotionally. Like, I thought i was bi until I realized i wasn't emotionally connected with other guys, but i only like enjoyed them physically/sexually. But i'm wayyy more emotionally attracted to girls, and personally i think emotions are more for me to ultimately determine my sexuality at the end. Cuz now I'm just plain unsure :confused: i'm probly straight-curious or like bi-curious, but I really have no ideaa lol. I got a few more years to figure everything out though, so I'm not worried

What makes your sexuality? Who you are sexually attracted to, nothing else. All this "emotional attraction" stuff is meaningless to your sexuality. Yes, you can't have a relationship with someone to whom you are not emotionally attracted, but relationships are not the basis of sexuality. The basis of sexuality is sexual (which is to say, physical) attraction:

If you are only attracted to girls, you're straight.

If you are only attracted to guys, you're gay.

If you are anywhere in between, you're bisexual, though that is a huge spectrum and many bisexuals often have a strong preference for one gender or the other.

I am physically attracted to men and women. And have only been on relationships with women. So right now, emotionally, it's just girls. I don't know if it's because I've never dated a guy or because I'm wired that way.

I wish I could be open about my attractions in real life but thanks to a close minded family and redneck populated area, I can't really do that. :(

Okay, here is a few thoughts of mine. First, I believe all guys are curious in their teens, and almost all of them stay that way to a point after puberty. Second, I believe everybody gos through this curious stage to help them discover their sexuality and sexual identity, because everybody is predisposed mentally to a specific sexuality. Sexuality is not just who you are attracted to physically, but who you are attracted to emotionally. If you have both of these types of attraction for both sexes, you are bi, and if you don't have both for a sex, you are either curious or gay. It is all very confusing, but you will find what you are in the next few years.

You are probably just curious. If you are attracted to girls emotionally and physically and guys only physically, like you could not see yourself marring a guy, then you are curious. If you only like guys, then you are gay, and if you like both guys and girls, then you are bi. Again, it is all confusing, and to find your true sexuality, you have to look deep in yourself. :P

I hope I helped. :D

Sexuality is not just who you are attracted to physically, but who you are attracted to emotionally.

I hear this so often and it's such a crock imo. Emotional attraction has nothing to do with sexuality: I get along great with lots of people who could never arouse me and some of the hottest people I've met are absolute cunts who do nothing but annoy me. What determines sexuality is sexual attraction.

Can you depict yourself in a relationship with a man? If not, then you are probably straight. Do you enjoy watching gay pornography? If yes, and no the the previous question, then you're probably curious.

Ask yourself questions in your head to determine what you really are deep inside. Not because you get aroused looking at guys, does it make you homosexual. Sexuality is about your emotional bonds and feelings. Not physical.

You'll never get a solid answer to your question, kid, because as you can see, everyone has a different opinion. Once upon a time, I could never see myself marrying or being a with a guy, until, that is, I realized I was gay.

All this "emotional" stuff is just fluff in my opinion. I have very deep, unique emotional friendships with women, but I have little sexual attraction to them. I also have very deep friendships with many of my guy friends, too, but it's all platonic/non-romantic. That's the whole point of the word "sex" in sexuality. It's all about what gets you turned on, and emotions don't have much to do with it. Once you've discovered if boys and/or girls get you aroused, all the emotions stuff will follow later.

Well thanks you all of you, even if it's all different answers.
