    I'm aware of being [orientation]romantic but is there an alternative where there is a purely sexual attraction to a gender but not romantic?

    P.S. I hope this isn't in the wrong category.

    There certainly is, but being sexually and not romantically attracted to a gender is more usually a sign of not fully accepting your sexuality.

    Do you feel this way? Have you come out to people? Do YOU know what your sexuality is?

    Yes there is, the name for it is what i forgot though. From my studies, it is possible for one sex to be romantically/sexually attracted to the opposite while being sexually/romantically attracted to the same and vice versa, as i have heard many accounts. Which in my opinions seems like a sticky situation as one attraction is absent. If i could ask, how do you go about relationships if you only have one set of the "two attraction types" for both sexes?

    I could agree with that depending on how he truly feels. In many cases, dozens of people experience tons of sexual moments while in their younger days and that can develop in them have something of a 'Fluid Sexuality' as their brain sees anything that's generally sexual in a universal sense, as sexually attracting to them, whether it's considered 'gay' or 'straight'. So really, it's about how long he has felt this "attraction" and would have to elaborate on it, explain in finer detail. How did it come about and such because everything has a beginning.

    I bit I guess. It's just sometimes I'm watching porn and the guy gets a blowjob and I start thinking how awesome it would be to give one of them.

    Are you romantically attracted to women? Sexually attracted to women?

    You sound primarily straight, but curious about guys

    That's the thing though. I've had an opportunity at a homosexual relationship and just before our first date I panicked and left. Is this just a phase I'm going through or am I in some kind of denial?

    If you have got to the point of setting up a date with a guy (despite not actually turning up), then it's probably fair to say you're not 100% straight, though I don't think that necessarily means you're bisexual gay.

    I doubt it's a phase though, it could well be that you're primarily attracted to women but you also like guys a bit. Or it could be that your sexuality is still developing and you will be primarily attracted to guys later on. I didn't really start seeing guys until I got to University

    Yes. I have met many people like this.
