Yeah, I realise the title to this might sound a bit odd, but I don’t know how else to describe it. In fact, I might just quote what I said about it before: Spoiler So, what do you think? Am I gay or bisexual? Should I take in consideration how I feel on my period? Is it just the weight/ an illusion- or does it mean something? Which label should I use? Does anyone else experience this? Am I just weird? :help: :help: :help:
Generally speaking, when a woman is on her period, she has hormonal fluctuations that change who she's attracted to during that time. It might not generally be a gender thing either. A woman could be 100% straight, not into girls at all, but her period changes the type of men she likes (masculine vs feminine men). For me, I've never been attracted to men on my period, but I became more sexual, when I normally have a low sex drive. Ovulation is the perfect time to start reproducing. This physically tricks women into having a higher sex drive than normal before their periods- as it as a good reproducing period. I guess I can understand it affecting attraction to the opposite sex as well, although I personally have never experienced it.
So, would you consider a woman who experiences this bisexual? Or should they continue identifying as a lesbian because it only happens on their period? Hmm...
For me, It's a difficult question to answer. What would you personally consider yourself- what would you be more comfortable considering yourself? I mean, if it only happens once a month, it probably isn't your primary preference.
Well, it doesn’t happen once a month- since it isn’t a monthly occurrence since so far this has only happened once, but I mean since it’s happened once it could theoretically happen again. I’m not sure what I feel comfortable with, gay feels like a lie but it’s the closest to what I’m going through and bisexual doesn’t seem right seeing how I don’t feel attraction to the opposite sex outside of my period. Hmm….. Well…probably not. Unless there’s a way to sustain what I feel on my period so that it covers time outside of it, I don’t think so. It could happen I guess, but it seems unlikely to me. But I feel somewhat of a liar if I were to use the gay label. Right now I’ve just put “reluctantly gay” because I usually identify as gay if asked because it’s easier to explain. But I do feel somewhat guilty and weird for doing so.
