Okay so I've been confused for a long, long time. I have been identifying as bisexual, but now I'm starting to doubt myself. Romantically I'm attracted to both guys and girls, being in a relationship and holding hands and hugging is exciting for me for both genders. I imagine kissing both and that makes me happy, but here comes the confusing part. Sexually, I only like girls. Sex with girls is appealing to me and imagine it a lot with girls I meet and crush on. However, guys are different. Sex with them makes me uncomfortable and almost repulses me, even though I like kissing them and holding hands and stuff. I'm a girl, and I know about being heteromantic and homoromantic etc. but if I'm romantically attracted to both but only sexually to girls, what does that make me? A heteromantic lesbian? I'm not sure what I should identify as. Any help with finding a name for it would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
Based on what you just described, a heteromantic lesbian fits the bill. It seems like you're about a Kinsey 5 or so. That description more or less fits my own sexuality, but I say "gay" because I doubt I'll (want to) have sex with a woman again, so it's a quick way to tell my persuasion to the straight world. Personally, I wouldn't get too hung up on labels, they're too cobstricting. They're simply there to kind of describe what you're into in a few words. Just be yourself and love people how your heart desires.
Based on what you said, I would say you're a biromantic homosexual, but it's up to you to decide which label you would be more comfortable with. Personally, I'm trying to figure out whether I'm a lesbian or a biromantic homosexual, but even if I am biromantic homosexual I will probably come out as lesbian. It's just easier for me to explain.
^what fxngirl said Just focus on your feelings, they're yours and they're beautiful. Cherish them and take care of yourself hugs
