    What made you not question your sexuality and settle on a label or non-label?

    I decided on who I could see myself with for the rest of my life and who I could not see myself with for the rest of my life. I could see myself being with another man and being fulfilled emotionally and sexually. (*hug*) I could not see myself being happy with a woman and I would feel guilty for being with a woman with my feelings towards men.

    Probably because I'm getting more and more comfortable with my sexuality. Once i reach certain level of comfort I can clearly see me living a happy, fulfilled and satisfying life, sharing good or bad time and have lots of fun with another men. but i cant imagine that with a girl.

    I think it was this one moment where I tried to imagine myself settling down with a man. In my daydream we were sitting in bed when he pulled his penis out. I practically puked in real life (›´ ^ `‹ )

    I guess because the labels I thought I identified with seemed right but they didn't feel right over time. It felt like, at least to me, like slipping on a pair of jeans but finding out after wearing them, that they were too loose. I would always find reasons why the label didn't feel right and it wasn't until I identified as ace/aro that everything just clicked for me. Everything fit in all right places and left no room for doubt in my mind.

    That's pretty much when I knew. :3

    lol when I realized how much straight sex disgusted me by researching it.

    I already knew I liked girls, but was confused about guys. That determined it though

    I knew I liked girls but wasn't sure about guys, but I gave it some time and it just became obvious to me. I look at a guys and I can tell if they're good looking or not, but that's about it. When I look at girls, there is something so beautiful about them, I can't explain why exactly, but guys don't have it for me and I can't really imagine having sex with a guy :/ or well I can but definitely don't want to XD

    This is a truly complex question...

    I didn't just settle on this, it's more the only logical conclusion that fits the evidence.

    I used to constantly be fighting inside for what direction I was and then something would happen to shake the faith in my own convictions. Part of me wanted to be straight, and in some respects I am. It's not like I regularly find a guy that floats my boat except when I used to panic about it and then every bloke was somehow attractive to me... i could not even tell you what it is about some blokes and not others that I find physically appealing, it's just that for some reason some have the swing factor

    On the other hand when I have an erotic dream, not in terms of physical, it can as often involve a man as a woman. Indeed these have historically been my Main cause for panicking.

    The only answer for me is that I am bisexual. Even if as a married man I have no wish to act upon it.

    For my Bisexuality, when I realized that I've been forcing myself to like women only for a few years. I completely ignored the fact that I was forcing myself to believe this and I needed to stop. I needed to be who I needed to be.

    As for myself being Transgender, I always knew but I kinda shoved it inside of me and hid it basically accepting my female body for people that I wanted to be around. I tried coming out awhile back, I almost had no support and hid for a little longer. I ended up telling myself not to bother. I came out, had similar results to the first time but this time, a lot more support.

    I realized that gender isn't really a deciding factor for me. I started being attracted to guys and other girls soon enough, and then pansexual just fit me perfectly.

    I kind of never really questioned my sexuality. It wasn't really a topic to me, I always thought it doesn't matter which gender I loved, which sexuality I have. When I fell in love with my girlfriend almost 2 years ago I was confused for a few days (because it's been quite a long time since I fell for a girl). But I accepted it really fast and didn't really thought about it twice. I was just worried how other people would react...

    Worrying about how others might react is perhaps the most paradoxical part. You don't actually care about their opinion and yet at the same time you do lol. I have come to the conclusion now that the only people who's opinion I care about are my close friends and immediate family, anyone else can go forth and multiply. I was very nervous first telling those I do care about and they have pretty much all come back in spades proving my care was well placed.

    Well, I haven't met any non-male that I've been interested in sexually or romantically up until this point. So I figured, the "gay" label suits me quite well at the moment. I realised that doesn't have to define me - if I meet a different gendered person in the future and fall in love, that's fine too! :slight_smile: I may change the way I define myself if that happens but so what?

    Not anything specific, just merely coming to terms with the fact that I liked men and women was really what caused it.

    Kissing a boy & realizing it felt so much more "right" than kissing a girl.

    I had been doing a lot of soul searching but then I came out to my close friend and she was like, "yeah~ I figured." XD;;; I know a lot of people don't like that response, but for me it was more of an assurance that it wasn't in my head and that not everyone is bi/pan XD;;;; I had always just kind of assumed everyone was bi but... nope, apparently not~ XD;;; Looking back at a lot of the things I did and said... they make a lot more sense now that I realize I'm *way* more into gals than guys~ *.*
