    I'm an 18 year old male, I've never really dated anyone. I've had crushes on girls and guys.

    Anyway, I've been wondering for the past few years if I might be gay. I get much more turned on by naked men than women.

    I'm not really as afraid of being gay, but I'm confused. I mean, I know my parents and friends would still love and accept me, in fact, i have already told my mum that I'm think I'm gay (she is bisexual, so she was very understanding) but I'm not sure if I may be bisexual or not...

    Because when I think about being in a relationship with someone, living with someone, marrying someone, and spending the rest of my life with someone...I always imagine me with a guy.

    I've tried thinking about what it would be like with a woman, and while I don't HATE it...it just doesn't appeal to me as much. It's the fact that I don't HATE it, that is causing confusion, It's sort of hard to explain,

    What do you think?...thank you.

    You could be gay. Sexuality is fluid and confusing sometimes. I myself am essentially bisexual, but homoromantic. I am sexually attracted to both guys and girls, but I can only feel romance for men.

    You'll figure yourself out eventually, don't worry about it too much right now. :slight_smile:

    Where as I can find a romantic spark in both men and woman, but only men are desireable beyond that :icon_bigg


    OP, Just play with it- It's not a one stop decision you suddenly have to make and hold yourself true for- :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Thank you for the replies,

    I'm pretty sure I'm gay, I think I'm going to come out to family/friends soon. And if later I do find out that I have some attraction to women, then I suppose it would be fine to.
    the only person I'm about coming out to is my grandmother, as she was always a bit funny about my mum being bisexual. do you think I should tell her or let the news spread to her? I'm not particularly close to her.

    I'd let the news spread. I only told my mother, and my aunt seem to knew.

    I only came out to people who mattered. So I don't know what to tell you..

    (Oh hey, my mom is bisexual too)

    I think that you still feel an attraction to women even though you have a stronger attraction to men. With that said you're still bisexual.
