    So as my orientation says, I'm straight, but curious. Now allow me to tell you about how I started questioning my sexual orientation. I have always thought I was straight, but this past year I have been looking at guys more and finding myself more attracted to them. I find that I'm more romantically and sexually attracted girls my age and have had a girlfriend before which I dated for a few months as well. With guys, it's just more sexual. Now what makes this hard for me is the fact that I'm 16 and might not be in the best place to judge all this and am really looking for advice.

    Well you're quite right it COULD just be age messing with your head, it could be something else.

    Probably the best thing you can do is just observe it. Don't force yourself to do anything and don't try and force it away. If you find yourself wanting to date a guy, fine, if not also fine. Just see where it goes and try not to worry about it.

    I agree with ElliaOtaku. I think you should just be yourself and live life however you want to. There's a possibility that you are simply curious because you have never really considered being with a man before (perhaps why it's mostly sexual?). Or you could be bisexual. Only time will tell, I'm afraid. If you want to experiment, feel free to do so but I personally wouldn't recommend going out of your way to do so unless you feel comfortable enough.
