    Well, I'll try to give enough details, but also be brief about that

    My age is 23, and since 1 year ago I've been struggling with this doubt sometimes,cand this is making me feel ansious. Since I was a teenager I remember I was attracted to girl. I remember seeing girls with tight clothes or using legging, qnd felt strong arousal. I was always curious about pussies, and imagining how could be fucking one. The first time I kissed a girl I was 11, and it was with one of my best friends. She also put my hand in one of her breasts, and I felt arousal because of this. All my teenage years I was always thinking about girls, even having some doubts about sexuality, but no big deals. Well, I have had many sexual partners (had sex with at least 16 girls in my life), but one phenomenon happened many times....seems that after a while (maybe after some months), I lost most of my sexual pleasure with the girls I had in the beginning. Now what's happening.... Last year I kissed a guy in an alternative party I was, just to be 'cool'. I haven't liked it, but I dont felt nothing, I was focused on girls. Then, it happened to kiss other guys, but never felt real interest, as I was never in the moment with them. But this made me started to create big doubts about my sexuality. I started to masturbate thinking about gays and I had orgasms, while seems my sexual pleasure with girls is decreasing and now seems to be hard for me to get aroused for women when fantazing. But i prefer women, in my opinion they are more beautiful and sensual-looking. I don't like men when looking at them. But I'm having these problems with almost no desire from some months ago, and I felt orgasms easier when fantasizing about men. Since this never happened to me, and I felt arousal for women on my teenage years, what's happening??? Whats my orientation? Im straight and this is just a phase, or looking for new stimuli? Am I bi? In addition, I was always watching lesbian porn, as I was always into pussy before, but seems that thing are changing. What's going on???


    Additional details: Even if Im having a hard time to feel sexual desire for women and for some reason I started to feel orgasms thinking about sex with men in general, I can still feel sexual desire for women when we talk dirty. And also, in the new year eve, I was dancing with a girl and she was so seductive in the dance that when she was close to me, I was strongly wanting to kiss her, and I did so. We had an one night stand sex and it was amazing. Same question remains...is this just a phase or something, due to my personal story?

    Well, I would be attracted to female bodies until the age of 8. When I saw a male body nude, the feeling was like changing and I started to look more to guys than girls. Later I was not interested in women again. It means I turned out as gay? i don't think so. It was, my own interest, the same as straight people interested in the opposite sex.

    You know, sometimes you want chocolate, other times, strawberries. You may realize that sexuality is more than "gay" "straight" thing. You don't need to figure out why do you feel like this, you just need to do what makes YOU happy at that moment. Don't be afraid to do what you want and also don't do what you don't want to do, simple. Also, you entire life you've been into girls, and you just discovered that thing. It takes time to understand what you really like.

    Hey man, I am bi. I feel for you because I it was incredibly hard and difficult for myself to find an identity. I new I wasn't gay because I enjoyed having sex with women and I also knew I wasn't entirely straight either because I enjoyed some gay porn and even a few guys I found attractive walking around. This indecision and lack of identity drove me to some depression among other things. Truthfully though, and this gonna be hard to hear. But, for a few weeks or so don't label anything. Just start to tune into what starts catching your eye in real life. Or what you start thinking about throughout the day. Pay attention to it. And if the curiosity still remains, or you want to experiment go right ahead. You seem like a pretty open minded guy with a very logical mind set. The only problem is sexuality and relationships are not so logical haha. I found out the hard way.

    So my advice is do what you want and let your intuition and action tell you what you are before you even set out to identify yourself. You maybe just curious and find that relations with a man are not as hot as you pictured in your mind. Or they might meet expectations.

    The way I look at my own sexuality is that if I find someone attractive I find them attractive. Regardless if they are man or woman. Just enjoy yourself and the people around you openly and don't worry about it until the experience comes along.

    Also if this helps, I am sexually fluid. Meaning I go from liking women a lot and the liking men a lot and everything in between. Which also made it very difficult to get a handle on my own personal identity, until I just said fuck it. If it is, it is. If it isn't then it isn't.

    Good Luck to you Man! Try not to think about it too much :wink:

    Incredibull, thanks for the advices. I don't know, but analyzing seems that I lost 2 years ago the strong desire I once think I felt for women, and the way I was excited with them was always thinking in lesbians for some reason (everytme I was with a bi-girl I was excited by she being bi). But I remember the first girl I went to bed, with my ex-girlfriend, that just smelling her pussy and I liked it. But my arousal for a girl always was never last longing. And now Im not even feeling arousal just thinking about pussy, I need to work hard mentally to get an orgasm. Why I'm experiencing this change? I mean, if I was gay, in terms of almost gay, I was never suposed to really like pussy like I've dine when I was younger, right?

    Not necessarily, we grow as people and continue to develop. It is not strange to go through new, for lack of better words, fetishes. Sometimes just the idea of something different or possibly even forbidden can make the attraction that much better. For example the idea of someone who is bi being more attractive to you. That person's physical features are the same but the fact that it is rare and can possibly open doors to new experiences makes it more attractive. People get bored, and seek out newer exciting things.

    And again, it is possible you could be sexually fluid. Which is slightly frustrating but sometimes you just have to make do.

    For example, me being sexually fluid. Sometimes I loose attraction to my boyfriend and are fantasizing constantly about woman. Especially titties considering he has none haha. Which can put excess stress on a relationship but hopefully we encounter people who understand and have some form of sympathy.

    And I know some gay guys who enjoyed pussy until they experienced gay sex and realized that it was significantly better than anything they have experienced.

    Sexuality is a tough one, and sorry if I am the only one answering your questions as I have only experiences with what I encountered or friends have encountered.

    Hope this helps a little bit man, and good luck. We cannot give you any answers to your own identity only you can do that. We can only give you some sort of direction to go or guide for you to figure it out yourself. It is a struggle but you are not alone. Many of us struggled for a long time I know I have. So you are in good company :slight_smile:

    Incredibull, thanks for some support and advice. The fact is that my desire for women disappeared comletely. No matter what I do, I'm not feeling nothing for them, and this is bothering me completely. I just want to have a wife, and kids( plus Im christian, and I dont want to give up from my faith). I still se woman much more beautiful, you know. I don't want to go ahead in this search. Im still thinking if I just wait, no masturbation or something, my desire will come back. Im completely sad, anxious, headaches, no sleeping, no nothing :frowning2: :frowning2: :frowning2:

    Well, it looks like you have to do a lot of thinking. The religious part seems to weigh very heavily from what I have read. But, then again there are a lot of homosexual religious people not saying you are one of them as you are still figuring yourself out. My boyfriend for example is religious and Christian but he has his own beliefs. I am an atheist so I have no religious conflicts as I see a lot of contradictions in many doctrines so I cannot relate to your feelings in this area. I suggest do some hard thinking with an open mind which is very difficult but I think sometimes you need to break a few walls in order to give some more space to your thoughts. Truly and personally analyze your deep convictions and why you have them as well your strengths, weaknesses and areas of comfort and uncomfortable alike. Hopefully they will lead you to your own answers.

    I will leave you with this quote that I related to when doing my own thinking. It is going to get tough, very tough, but after all that struggle and incredible freedom is achieved.

    "It has always been an arduous path for the individual to supersede the tribe. If you shall take it, you will meet moments of loneliness and at times be frightened. But, there is no price that is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
