I'm gay, but could I be Bisexual?

    So I really don't know how to even say this by typing, but I'll give it my best. I'm gay and finally came to terms with it a couple months ago. Back in August I told my older brother and he is very supportive. I was very scared to tell him because of his "homophobic past," but it all went well.

    However, is it a possibility that I may be Bisexual? I'm a type of person who can get aroused by anything, but guys get me "happier." I'm still a virgin and have never had a BF/GF before, so I have never experienced anything. I never check out girls, but I'm always checking out guys. I could watch "lesbian porn," but it's nothing like the gay porn I enjoy. If I watch a hetero scene, then I'm always watching the guy.

    I'm worried that if I do date a girl, and realize that I am fully gay, I wouldn't want to hurt that person.

    My heart keeps telling me that it's possible I can fall in love with a girl, but my heart and brain tell me I'm fully gay (if that makes sense). I'm extremely sexually attracted to guys, and I'm not really attracted to girls, but is there a possibility of being Bisexual?

    For so long I wanted to be the guy who marries a woman and have children. But ever since I've came to terms with being gay, I feel like I can only see myself now with a husband.

    Has this ever happened with anyone? Is this just my brain telling me that I need to act "normal" in our society? I would really love some feeeback for guys like this?

    Hey TanMan,

    You could, of course, be bisexual. You could also just be experiencing issues from your heteronormative upbringing. Ultimately, only you can figure out your own sexuality and even if you can't or choose not to put a specific label on it, the most important thing is that you understand and accept it.

    Perhaps you might want to check out this video and see if it helps:
