So basically for a little while, maybe a year or a little longer, I have been thinking that I am gay. I'm only 15 and most places I go they will say "you're at that age, and you're curious", but this feels different. When I started watching porn it was conventional straight stuff, but then I noticed guys more, and it led to me watching only gay porn, and not getting sexually attracted to women. I have never been 'aroused' as such by women, but I have thought of some as 'pretty or beautiful' which just kinda makes me confused, as if I could date women and men, but I only get sexually attracted to men. At the moment I feel like I have a crush on a guy, so it leads me to believe that I am probably gay, but I'm just confused. Anyway thanks for reading, as you have probably read this type of thing a thousand times
We may have read it a thousand times, it doesn't make it any less important! You MIGHT be 'at that age' and it MIGHT 'be a curious phase' but honestly, does it matter? People will try to tell you that you might grow out of it, and they might be right, but at the moment you feel like you are attracted to guys. Do you want to sit there until you eventually 'grow out of it'? What if you never do? Do they expect you to sit there alone forever? Explore it, if you have a crush on a guy, great! Do what feels natural and know there is nothing wrong with it. If anyone tells you it's a phase, remember that if in a few years time you are suddenly attracted to girls, there is nothing wrong with that either! Do what feels right for you!
That is bang on advice. I wish I would have had someone tell me that when I was 15. Could have saved years of bullshit hahaha
It could be that you sre Bisexual, leaning towards men more often. But another possibility may be that you are Sexually attracted to men but think that women could just be friends. If I am correct, your Sexuality is based on who you are Sexually attracted to. In this case, you would be Gay. If there is any other information that could be of help to us, tell us. But all in all, you could just experiment with both men and women to see how you feel. But don't go too far, because you are only 15.
Well I have never really been sexually attracted to women, basically ever. Maybe romantically, but in both regards I am still more lenient towards men. This is a little weird for me as I came from a religious background, Jehovah's Witnesses to be exact, but I am way out of there now. But I must say, I generally prefer men, but like ElliaOtaku said, if I do turn out liking women, there's nothing wrong with that either
I'm totally 100% gay (accept no substitutes, look for the union label) and I'm still perfectly capable of telling that a woman is pretty or attractive. I'm also perfectly able to tell that a sunset or a flower is pretty or that the Grand Canyon has spectacularly beautiful scenery. Doesn't mean I want to have sex with any of them. Being gay doesn't mean that you find women repellent on general principles, after all. And being able to notice or appreciate beauty (especially when there is a multi-billion dollar industry devoted to telling you what 'beauty' is) doesn't automatically connect to sexual attraction or orientation.
