    Okay, so I am really into dudes. I'm attracted to them sexually and romantic, but once they touch me kind of intimately, like rubbing my back, hugging me in a possessive way, etc. I freak out. I start to feel like I have to get away and never talk to them again. It has come to the point where I don't even think about dating males even if we both like each other. I can't handle it.

    I'm okay with friends who aren't interested in a romantic or sexual way touching me. It's the guys that mean it in a relationship way, who aren't my age. (I don't like dating people my age or younger cause it grosses me out or something??)

    What does that mean? Am I a lesbian or something? Because I'm more than okay being intimate with females or other genders. I just can't really explain what that feeling is!! It's frustrating. I feel somewhat scared, or like I'm in danger. What's wrong with me, or in fact what is this called?

    Also, I was not abused in any way by an adult male or female when I was younger. I do not hate men, so I'm NOT a misandrist.

    Questioning
    I'm kind of like this. Whenever a guy touches me it makes me feel controlled and uncomfortable.However, I can't tell you your orientation. Perhaps you're not used to a man touching you? Maybe you don't want men to touch you?Would you rather be touched by a female? Imagine having sex with a guy. Now imagine it with a woman. Did any freak you out? Do the same with going on a date with a man and a woman.

    Maybe you just haven't found the right person to be with yet. The males shouldn't be touching you before you get to know them and like them first, remember that :slight_smile:

    When I imagine having sex with a guy, I enjoy it. When I imagine having sex with a girl I enjoy it. I just feel uncomfortable and unsafe /before/ it gets to that point?

    But you're probably right. I guess I haven't found the right person to be with yet. It just kind of sucks because I want to have a casual sex life.

    And with the dates, I would rather go kn a date with a woman than with a man because of the uncomfortable feeling. It's not that I'm opposed to dating a man, I'm just scared, and I feel ashamed to think I'm in danger around them.
