i'm a 15 year old male and i have recently started to get attracted to men, but when i was younger i would sometimes look at a guy and find him attractive but it happened rarely and i thought nothing of it. i really don't know if i'm bisexual or not because sometimes i think it might be just a phase or i might just be curious and i find pretty much all women attractive and i am a lot more picky with men but then sometimes i find a guy really attractive and i got aroused and masturbated over gay porn twice yesterday but i'm still not sure. so would you say i'm bisexual because i'm really confused and it's stressing me out.
Sounds like you probably are bisexual. It's possible to be bi and have a preference for one gender over the other. Some bisexuals like both equally, some prefer the same gender but feel some attraction for the opposite gender, and some prefer the opposite gender but feel some attraction for the same gender.
Yeah I'd say your probably bi, but in the end that's up for you to determine, you know yourself better than anybody on here does. Like Ettina said, you don't have to like both genders equally. Maybe you are bi, but you just prefer girls to guys, but that attraction for guys is still there too. From what I've heard, it seems like people can go in phases of preferring guys or girls if they are in fact bisexual, so that could also be where your confusion is coming from.
I found my lgbt friendly therapist by going on the doctor finder of my insurance web site. There were lots of options for searching for mental health professionals, including sexual orientation, gender issues, lgbt issues in general. I also live near several colleges/ universities, and they have on their website a list of lgbt friendly therapists, that might work for you. Once I had a few names I googled, found their own practice web sites, that narrowed it down to 3 for me. Then I called and made an appointment Good luck
Don't stress yourself out over this, it's the worst thing you can do and it won't help the situation in any way. Firstly, it's fine that you're experimenting with these things, you're at the age where you start to decide for yourself what you do/don't like and that's okay - you're not alone. Unfortunately, nobody can tell you who you are - you have to decide that for yourself. Many straight guys i'm sure have had these feelings towards men before, don't feel like you're alone on this or be ashamed of it; you'll figure out what you are eventually.
