    So I'm just about done with being confused lol. I can't deny that I get extremely turned on by lesbian porn and women in general in porn. But I honestly have a range of fetishes that are really weird and that I've always had. I've only done things with guys and I'm attracted to them in sexual and romantic ways.

    I'm honestly like anxious about everything now I feel like I can't even look at a girl Bc I'll like fall in love with her lol. I have nothing against lesbians or bisexuals but when I look at them together it doesn't feel right to me. I can deal with be attracted in the way I am to girls sexually by just watching porn.

    I don't need to have sex with a girl, I'd feel complete just having a man for my needs but how do you all think this means?

    I don't know if you're bi or not. However, porn isn't the best way to identify sexuality. It's not always accurate. In real life, do you have any kind of attraction to females?

    If you feel like you are not entirely straight but aren't really attracted to women IRL perhaps you would simply identify as queer? Seems to be a nice catchall term these days.

    I agree. It depends if you have attraction for women in real life too. And it may not be an answer that comes straight away, for various reasons. For me, it was that I didn't think that the feelings could be valid, that I was attracted to guys (so I couldn't be attracted to girls too??), that girls could only be my friends, etc. etc. Being afraid to look at a woman in case you fall in love with her isn't probably the best way to go about it too :lol: I don't think I've ever looked at somebody and fallen in love with them, but I have thought that they're cute/I wouldn't mind talking to them^^

    It's possible that you might be bi, or curious, or a little heteroflexible. Also, " I have nothing against lesbians or bisexuals but when I look at them together it doesn't feel right to me." I can actually relate to this!! When I was first accepting how I was feeling, it was the same. I'm not saying it's the same for you, but it might not mean much. There are some lesbian couples now that I look at that I go "meh" and feel indifferent too, just like there are straight couples, but that's usually if I don't think they're my type, are much older than me or don't seem that compatible together or whatever. (Maybe this sounds insanely weird or shallow) but like... this couple I think is just adorable^^ Google Image Result for https://proudtobeyou.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/tumblr_mbg7i1khzm1qgubi8o1_500.gif%3Fw%3D584. <3 (hehe, love Rose and Rosie :slight_smile:)
