    Questioning
    Hi, I am a bi-sexual male (I think) I have always found woman attractive but it seems over the years I have this increased need for men. Does anybody think it is possible to turn gay? I remember highschool days I was not really intrested in men, there seems to have been a shift, sexually. Normally just walking down the street I tend to notice woman but most of my fantacies involve men. I want to know a woman and love her; while I seem to have devoloped this animal instinct with men, once they get me going I am not myself. Overall I like and need both men and woman for different reasons. I have been with 8 woman and 7 men. I keep tring to sweep my feelings for men under the carpet. Turns out the further I sweep the more I want them. Needless to say I have had a rough run of sexual confusion and am ready to deal with the reality of what I cannot control. I really love woman and for some reason when I hook up with a man it seems to betray my love for woman. I started thinking about men around 17, woman at 12. At first I thought about oral with men now aspects of love are entering the picture "kissing, cuddeling, sex and the unity of two bodies "beautiful thing". Still I seem to think about woman less and men more. Do you guy's think it is possible to turn gay?? Am I?

    Hey welcome to EC

    I don't think it's possibly to turn gay in the sense that once one is fully developed and mature (I'd guess 21-23 for woman and 25 for men) then I think that if they're going to have feelings for somebody of the same or opposite gender then they will have had feelings even if said feelings are just a small unrecognised stir of genitalia. However I do believe that it is possibly to not realise ones attraction for a long time and that in the sense that somebody can begin to think that maybe they are gay/bi/straight (whatever) then yes they can turn gay. Hope that helped though I'm not sure I've explained what I mean very well.

    Once more, welcome to EC! :slight_smile: I hope you find what you need here :slight_smile:

    Hey, welcome to EC. I've actually had a pretty similar experience. I've also always found women attractive. But between middle school and high school I started thinking about the same sex. I really started questioning my identity in high school and I have been since. Yes, I would say that over the years I have started thinking about guys more. But no, I don't think it's possible to turn gay. If anything, you realize that you are gay after a while. I find it hard to believe though that one can genuinely go from liking guys/girls to not. Anyway, it really didn't occur to me that I had ANY interest in guys until high school, but I certainly wouldn't say that's who I "turned into." Rather, it was a personal realization. And yet, it's still something that confuses me.

    Heya, welcome.

    Sexuality is a fluid thing. Feel free to question it as you get older. I know it's hard at first but after you've considered it, learn to embrace and accept it. Don't be afraid of it. It's part of who you are. :slight_smile:

    Best.
