Okay, so I have been asked many times what my orientation is. But i genuinely dont know. I have dated men before but never really felt like it was right. I have a girlfriend now, whom I have been with for ten months. But I dont know what I should classify as. I dont really feel a strong attraction to a cerain sex, neither do I fantasize about one sex or the other in general. When I do have thoughts like that its only about people I have a deep connection with. I also hace the problem that I cant be sexual with people im close with while also being unable to open up to people Ive been physically intimate with. I am so confused and I dont know what I belong with. Im sorry for the long post. Any help would be greatly appreciated :icon_redf
It seems somewhat strange this is in the gender dysphoria forum and not the sexual orientation one. It kind of begs the question of whether or not you experience gender dysphoria, because I know from personal experience it can be hard to fantasize when you body doesn't align with your identity. Any who, there's the question of whether or not your sexually attracted to either sex. It's seems like you have a romantic orientation, it's possible your sexual orientation differs from that. You might be a homo-romantic heterosexual. You may be a bi-romantic asexual, meaning you have a romantic attraction to both sexes but a sexual attraction to neither. I suggest research on the subject, because nobody else can really determine your sexuality.
This statement makes me think that you might be demisexual, though innoscience is right in saying only you can determine your sexuality for sure. So perhaps some research on that term is in order? And this should have definitely gone in the "sexual orientation" part of the forums, just so you know.
Im sorry, I didnt realize it went into this forum my laptop has been going backward to previous pages without warning. I truly apologize xc

You might have a look here: Am I Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, or Transgender? there is romantic and sexual attraction... and some people need an emotional connection first...
