I keep thinking about being with a woman

    So lately I've been very confused. I've always considered myself as a heterosexual girl, and up until now I've only ever had crushes on guys. They're the ones I see myself in a relationship with. But sexually, I find myself attracted to women as well. I mean I guess I've alway had a thing for boobs and I've always watched lesbian porn as well as straight ones and I read lesbian erotica as well, but I've never given it any thought because I know a lot of women probably do this. But only recently I've been fantasizing about what it would be like to have an actual sexual encounter with a woman, and it just really turns me on. If the opportunity presented itself, I'd probably be willing to try it :icon_redf When I started thinking about it I remembered that when I was a teenager I sometimes would notice a woman, or look at her boobs if she was sexy, but it wasn't like a thing back then. It didn't happen as often to make me think that I wasn't straight. But now years later when I think about being with a woman it just properly turns me on.

    I guess at this point I'm just really confused about everything, seeing that there were probably hints when I was a teenager, but that now it's a full on sexual attraction. I'm just not sure if this makes me bisexual or just curious, or just mainly straight with a sexual interest in women as well. I didn't really know who to ask advice about this, so I figured this would be a good place to ask more experienced people what you think about this. I know that sexuality isn't always as black and white like you're either straight, bi, or gay but I'm just confused beyond belief right now and I'm not sure what to do with these feelings. :help:

    The first thing you need to do is to identify as well as you can what your feelings are.
    You know you are sexually attracted to both guys and gals. That would make you bisexual. If you are exclusively romantically attracted to guys, that would make you heteroromantic. Thus, heteroromantic bisexual.
    Labels are secondary, however. Your feelings are what matters. The standard questions to ask, naturally, would be
    1 a) Am I sexually attracted to guys?
    b) Am I romantically attracted to guys?
    2 a) Am I sexually attracted to girls?
    b) Am I romantically attracted to girls?

    and so on. Be honest with yourself and identify your feelings.

    Experimenting is also useful. This doesn't necessarily mean picking a girl up at a bar :wink: It can be something smaller, like masturbating to lez porn. (I realize that one might already be in the bag :slight_smile: In that case, think on how it made you feel).

    Hope that helps! Feel free to keep askng questions

    Becki made perfect points and there's no need to repeat them, but the one thing I would caution you on is basing your sexual beliefs on pornography. Many people enjoy porn of things they're not necessarily attracted to in the real world, ie some lesbians I know watch gay porn -- It doesn't mean they're attracted to men, it's just what they enjoy masturbating to!

    The questions she presented are definitely what you need to be asking yourself, and perhaps talking and getting to know some lesbian / bi girls on a more personal level to see if that attraction carries on. Patience, only time will make everything clear! :slight_smile: xx

    Walls always open if you need a chat!

    Thanks so much for your advice :slight_smile:

    I guess I've already been thinking about those questions, and at this point I do feel like romantically I'm only into guys. About the whole porn thing, I guess you're right because I do know women who watch and are just straight. The thing that made me question myself is that I actually want to try it for real, and that I regularly fantasize about it. And that I do sometimes look at a woman and think to myself "those are some really nice boobs." haha :grin:
    The thing that scares me about actually making more contact with lesbian or bi people to figure everything out, is that at this point I really don't want other people to know this about me since I'm still figuring everything out myself. And I'm scared that if I do try to contact people in my area through internet or something or a gay bar (if I had the guts to go there haha), that somehow someone I know is gonna find out through maybe mutual friends, or recognize me or something. So I don't know. I'm kind of stuck on what to do with this. Because I personally don't know any lesbians or bi people in my circle of friends or even acquaintances. Only gay men. So yeah.

    Yes, Astral is right, pornography is deceptive sometimes.

    Well you've got a lot of lesbian and bi/pan girls here you can talk to, which is a great start :slight_smile: Just like Astral, my wall is open if you want to chat :slight_smile:
