    Can you be attracted to a sexual orientation? Like I am only attracted to gay people, whether they're male or female. Knowing someone is straight makes them immediately unattractive to me, regardless of their gender. Does that make any sense?

    It sounds like it's some underlying psychological issue that's making you feel that way. Perhaps there is something about heterosexuality that you don't like? Maybe if you were to embrace and accept all sexualities fully and get rid of any prejudices revolving around them (if you have any) you wouldn't have this issue because a person's sexual orientation wouldn't be a big deal anymore and it's not something that would throw you off.

    There are quite a few gay men(myself include) out there who find that they are EXTREMELY attracted to straight men.

    Even among gay men, there are quite a few gay men (myself included) who prefer "straight acting" gay men sexually .

    I find myself gravitating toward handsome straight men because I desire them sexually.

    I tend to gravitate to the other gay men I find sexually desirable.

    I don't gravitate to gays or lesbians just because they are gay or lesbian.

    I can totally relate to that. I feel like I am guarding myself from developing attraction to people sometimes so I won't get hurt. Why would I waste my time fawning over someone I have no chance with? It does help that I find very few guys immediately attractive. It might be because I am demisexual, and or it may be because I just don't find straight guys attractive. I haven't had any crushes in forever.

    Yes - I understand because I am only attracted to bisexuals, male or female. Not all bisexuals of course, but if you put me in a room full of bi people I will be sure to fancy several of them! In a room full of straight people though, I'm bored shitless, lol! :eusa_doh:

    I don't think its psychological, more like biological, like their hormones are a better match with mine maybe? :icon_bigg
