    I'm so damn confused!

    I try to tell myself that I don't need a label, I can love who I want, but frankly I kinda like labels. I'm a teen, so things are confusing enough, labels kinda help me to sort things out.

    But here's my thing-- I started thinking I was demisexual a few months ago, and I was just starting to accept that when I realized that wasn't the case when it came to girls (I'm a girl).

    I'm open to bisexuality/biromanticness, I've been pondering it for a while now, but I sorta brushed it off due to lack of experience. But it's confusing, I feel demisexual when it comes to guys, but not girls.

    I'd like romantic connections with both and sexual connections with both (as far as I know), but I'm not attracted to guys without a deep emotional connection. The thought of a one night stand type situation with a guy terrifies and sorta disgusts me, but I'm totally cool with it if it were to be with a girl... Similarly I often go along seeing girls and going 'damn, she's cute' and what not, but I never seem to do that with guys.

    What even is my sexuality??

    Well, it sounds like you might be bisexual and biromantic but leaning more towards women or maybe a biromantic lesbian/homoflexible. Sorry if I wasn't much help, I don't think a label exists for someone who feels demisexual towards only one gender. This was the best I could come up with based on what you said but I feel that they all describe what you're feeling. Good luck with finding your label :slight_smile:

    Well, one thing to remember is that if you're on the bi spectrum (or if you're gay), you've likely suppressed a lot of homosexual urges through the years. If all that is surfacing now that you're starting to accept yourself, it can influence your sense of identity a lot. If you get a wave of lesbian attraction while you're pondering sexual interest in the different genders, that could send you along onto a track leading to "I'm more sexually open to women". I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong or anything, just that taking into account that it might take a bit of time to settle down neatly with a proper label.

    Now, just from your post it sounds like you have a preference for girls, or at least that you're more open to girls in general.
    More than so I can't really say, sorry. xx
