    Uuuuhhh, okay. Sudden realization! I'm not sure what to call myself anymore.

    Kind of strange; ever since I realized I wasn't straight, I've identified as bi. But out of nowhere I realized that I've only ever had erotic fantasies about guys.

    I'm romantically attracted to both, and I am strongly attracted to the female body, but i don't know if I would ever have heterosexual sex. So, would that make me a biromantic gay then?

    Note: currently a virgin

    That sounds pretty possible to me. Liking a certain type of body doesn't always correlate with the desire to have sex with it, I don't think.

    Wow. Huh. That was pretty easy to figure out, actually.

    Well, there goes the past few months of my life.

    Time to come out again to everyone who I already have come out to.

    I'm in the same conundrum as you, with slight variation (identified as bisexual, physically attracted to and been physically involved with males and females, only ever had serious relationships with males).

    I've been thinking recently of how absurd it can be that we feel the need to hyper-label ourselves. It reminds me of ridiculous music genre names... But at the same time, in the search to understand who we are, the ability to clearly define our identities is so important.

    Have you ever been physical with a female?

    Congrats on your sudden realisation! I saw your thread earlier about casually coming out and I have to say I'm impressed with how fast and easily you were just like "Oh, I was wrong. Okay."

    Haha, yeah, it was pretty easy for me to correct myself. I don't know what to say. I'm not sure what it is. Changing my label is just to help with my own personal sense of closure. It doesn't change me, it only changes my perception of myself to one that more clearly defines me.

    Yeah, I agree, good job with the self-actualizing. Now you can bring some additional focus to your dating. Have fun!
