    If I like guys romantically and sexually, and girls only romantically, do I call myself gay or bisexual? I know the technical term would be "biromantic homosexual" but thats kind of clumsy to say. Would it be more accurate to call myself gay or bi?

    You can say your bisexual you don't have to go into description if you don't want to I've seen other guys like you that just say their bi it's only when people ask for details they describe what type of bisexual they are .
     
  3. Its up to you, I think and it depends on whom you want to date and be with.
    I'd probably go with gay, because biSexual implies sexual attraction to me.

    well Id have to say gay cause you have no such sexual attraction to the opposite gender.

    I'd say, try not to get too hung up on labels. All that matters is what you feel and who you want to be with. Labels tend to be over generalisations anyway.

    Ultimately though, if you are going to pick a label, it's your choice as to what you wish to identify as. Just remember though, various labels carry a certain amount of baggage and may not fit you exactly (hence why they are generalisations) and you need to be willing to accept that baggage that comes with them.

    Happy days :slight_smile:
