    Hey y'all,
    I've always looked upon men with a certain form of lust. I've had dozens of close relationships with women, but I have never dated any. Like most teenage boys, I jerk off almost daily, and only once have I actually done so to women, every other time its been to men. At school I always notice my eyes wandering towards the men(all over their bodies) and the occasional glance to girls, but never looking at more than their face. Not to mention I have seen hundreds of pictures of women thanks to my very homophobic, very straight freind. I've never been really turned on by them, but I'm not disguised either and I can admire the beauty of their physiques either clothed or not clothed. When it comes to the men however just the though gets me going and actual pictures do wonders. I'm really starting to question what this is, Gay or Bi, but I do know I have feelings for the same sex but when it comes to the other I like girls company but I'm not sure about anything more. Not that it matters much but to me it means a lot. The ability to know in a definitive term would ease the burden of this social catastrophe.
    Sorry for the semi-long post, and thanks!

    From what you've stated it seems like you fit "gay" pretty well. You didn't mention much other than physical characteristics, so how do you feel about guys emotionally?

    I'm normally attracted emotionally towards guys equally with girls and generally look for the same level of emotional attachment with a close freind as I do with someone I would want to date.

    lol if you were to take my post a week ago and just change a little bit, that would be this. I'm in the same boat as you dude. Not sure if I should consider myself gay or bi. I'm more homosexual the heterosexual but I don't know if i'm heterosexual enough to be considered bisexual. I guess people here seem to think that if you're someone in our situation, you should label yourself gay. I guess they would know. After all with their amazing gaydar abilities.

    Ohh this sounds like almost exactly the situation I am in. Except that I feel more inclined towards girls romantically. I know that I am at least somewhat gay (I almost exclusively look at gay porn). But I don't know if I am gay enough to spend my life with a guy. Also, I am not sure how good of an indicator is porn... I did also get off to lesbian porn the other day :-/

    I would say gay... But even if you are exclusively attracted to guys, you don't need to live your life with a label. Gay is just a convenient label to describe sexual attraction exclusively to the same sex. You can be that definition and not label yourself gay.

    I do believe bisexual is a legitimate orientation. However, many gay men are emotionally attracted to women. You're probably gay but only you know which label feels right.
