    Hi there,

    I really need some advice.

    So, I always thought I was straight but last year, things got a little crazy; I had sex with a gay friend who studied on my university course. Before this happened, we had already kissed once before, but it never got any further than that. at the time, I remember feeling more emotionally attracted to the guy as opposed to physically.

    Before then, I was always sure that I liked girls. I shrugged off my encounter with my friend as a mere experiment, and something not to be considered serious in any way. He kept the secret, too. But recently, I drunkenly told my group of friends about the experience as many of my friends did suspect that I was gay given the way that I act around people. Now, everyone thinks I am gay; as for me, I don't quite know what to think. It has made me think about dating a man to maybe experiment again and see what is going on with me.

    I had sex with a girl some months back, but I failed to get an erection, which leads me to wonder if I was really attracted to her.

    What's weird is that recently, I haven't really given much thought to sex in a while. I am more interested in the comfort and security a relationship could bring me as opposed to the possible sexual benefits. Physically, I find women to be beautiful and I find very certain types of men to be somewhat attractive, too. i think it probably lies more in their personality that attracts me.

    I know this must all sound quite strange, but it would be great if someone could help me out.

    Cheers,

    Nathan

    If your friends think you're gay and its not bothering you then I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you're thinking about dating a man and the idea is something you like then go for it, experiment away, just don't force yourself to do it if it doesn't feel right.

    "Physically, I find women to be beautiful and I find very certain types of men to be somewhat attractive, too. i think it probably lies more in their personality that attracts me."

    This as far as I know is fairly common, however what it actually says about orientation I'm afraid I don't know.
