    Hello!


    Would you guys say it's an accurate test of your sexuality if you first try to watch a woman witch you find good looking and her naked body and then you try to look at a guy that you find good looking and his naked body and you try to get off to them sepparately, and then one of them works and the other don't.

    Would you say that is an accurate test of your sexuality?


    Thanks for reading!

    Nope.

    Try to look at it from an emotional standpoint. Would you rather kiss/hug/spend time with a guy or girl?!

    Naked bodies are... just that, naked bodies. The way the brain works is funny... when you see a part of the human anatomy that is often "hidden", regardless if it's the body of a man or woman, you will often find yourself feeling... "happy" down there.

    Not really an accurate test. Nothing is certain until you are actually into it and doing things, that is when the true is laid bare (excuse the pun).

    The biological response may not always accurately match your orientation. Even gay men, when forced, can have sex with a women and ejacuate in order to have children. But that doesn't mean they feel happy or even remotely like it. Some of them are disgusted about it, even. And that is how they know they are gay for sure.

    So just take your time. Have a relationship, start exploring your sexuality. You will find your answer sooner or later.

    Nope. Some people can be turned on by anything, especially women. It's proven that women are even turned on physically by accidental viewing of child porn or zoophilia, but mentally they are disgusted and have moral concerns about them. It's an extreme example, so I apologize, but I'm just using it to prove our bodies will react to nudity regardless of orientation.

    Sexuality is more about what you like in the mind....who you fantasize about WITHOUT the aid of images.

    Looking at people/pics, particularly porn, isn't always accurate. However, if you're out wandering around, at the beach, at the pool, at the mall... and you find yourself looking more at one sex than the other pretty consistently, that's a pretty accurate indicator.

    An even better one is masturbation fantasies. If you are more aroused consistently by fantasies involving the same sex over the opposite sex, then you're pretty clearly gay.

    I disagree that you don't know until you're doing things; there are plenty of people who know beyond a shadow of a doubt they are same-sex attracted (or, for that matter, opposite-sex attracted) long before they are ever sexually active. The answers are usually pretty clear if you look for them. :slight_smile:

    I feel like it all comes from emotions..do you enjoy flirting with the opposite sex? Being approach in a sexual/romantic way from the opposite sex? And if you are actually in the act do you enjoy it emotionally?

    You could be gay if you like the idea of being with a guy sexually, but only time and self discovery will tell if that is true. I really believe you can think you will like something and actually don't.

    For me i thought i would like sleeping with a guy because i liked the guy for who he is, we got along, communicated well, and i was comfortable with the guy. But, when it came to actual intimate stuff (kissing, touching, etc...) My mind was like blah, ugh, getting away. I really thought i would like it until i was in the situation and my mind reacted the way it did. I even hate when a guy hits on me.. It grosses me out.

    And yes some know before they have sex with the opposite sex that they will not enjoy it. But, the people i know, a good percentage even tried to date someone of the opposite sex before being 100%+.

    Another thing i wanted to add was...we have subconscious thoughts or conscious thoughts that we are not aware of causing bodily reactions.

    What i am saying is follow your heart/desires, discover yourself and let time tell. But, no i do not think reacting to a naked picture of the same sex means you are homosexual.. It is really about emotional reaction. Just my opinion.

    Hope i helped a bit, just sharing my particular experience and opinion.

    I have a girlfriend right now. I don't like to see her vagina amd when she spreads and shows it doesn't really excite me, rather the opposite. I quiet often find it hard to have sex with her, im not really turned on. Then I go online look at some pictures of naked guys and I get really hard very easy. That should mean something though shouldn't it?
