    Ever since I was a child I was interested in women's bodies. I have had numerous crushes on girls throughout the years. I've been in numerous female relationships. I loved all aspects of the relationship. Last week me and a male friend were playing truth or dare. He got dared to make out with me for 2 minutes. I enjoyed it a lot. I have never been emotionally attracted to males. But sexually I think I'm attracted to males I watch hetero porn and I imagine myself as the girl. I fantasize about male genitalia too. In real life if given the chance I don't think I would ever do anything sexual with a man. But I'm not complelty sure about that. I know that I love women but I'm not so sure about men. I think I should experiment with men first before I label myself. But it just sickens me with being with a male.

    I think you've answered your own question. Regardless of whether the possibility to be attracted to men exists within you, the question is, do you feel attraction to men? That one sentence makes me think the answer is "probably not", in which case "lesbian" is probably the safest label for you for now.

    I want to emphasize the "for now" part. If, in the future, you find yourself being attracted to guys and not sickened by the idea of being with one, you can always change your label to bisexual. Labels don't stick for life unless you want them to because your label works for you for your entire life. :slight_smile:

    yep, if you fell in love with the guy you kissed, it would not be the end of your world...you would still like women, but if such happened you just also in addition to being gay love that man. Bisexuals are real, I read you can go anywhere from 99% gay to 99% straight, so that even 1%...you could say makes you just a wee bit bi. :wink:

    Thank you for your response. I'm only 15 so I think I still have time to discover myself. I'm out to everyone as bisexual. So if I came out as lesbian in the future it wouldn't be that big of a shock. The guy I mentioned above asked me out so I said yes. I've never been with a male so I wanted to see if I actually do have feelings for males.

    Just chiming in to say that the things we fantasize about don't have to reflect what we want in real life. So I think it's perfectly ok to be a lesbian and fantasize about men from time to time. Experiment with a man if you really want to, but if it really does "sicken you" to do so, I don't think there's anything wrong with saying your a lesbian even if you have no experience with men. You don't need "proof" of your sexuality if you already know how you feel.

    I am defiantly a lesbian. I tried it out with the guy and I didn't feel anything. I guess were just friends. Maybe in the future I will meet a man I like. That will be rare but there's still a chance. As of right now I'm focusing on spending time with my princess.
