    New to the forum. I'm not sure what I am, I'm very confused. I only recently started questioning my sexuality, seriously questioning it at least. I think everyone at some point in there life has a thought about which sex they have feelings towards. For me, I always thought I was interested in men, I've had committed relationships with them, never had a consensual sexual relationship with one so I question whether that has anything to do with my complete and utter disinterest/disgust with the thought of being in a relationship with a man. Honestly the best way to describe how I feel is confused. Mainly here to talk to others who have felt the same way, get advice, etc...

    Welcome fauntai! I have you say, I love your name handle.

    Don't sweat about being confused. It'll clear up eventually. And like you said, this is a great place to help sort out feelings. They've helped me clarify a lot of things for me, and they'll do the same for you.

    Thanks. I really do need someone to talk to about this. I'm confused as all get out, not sure how to sort out my thoughts/feelings about this. It gets super complicated when I add in my abusive past with men - I don't know if this is the only reason I'm not interested in them, or if there is more to it than that. I'm seeing a therapist on a weekly basis - just told her a few days ago in an email that I'm confused about this after her and I brushed on a topic a week or so ago.

    I just really don't know how to go about exploring this, figuring out my real feelings about it. I don't want to just throw myself out into a situation where I'm experimenting because someone could get hurt potentially.
