Why do so many girls question their sexuality on this site?

This is going to seem like I'm not answering your question but it will comeback around.

There was this study done once where they measured the arousal levels of men and women when they were showed different kinds of porn. They would show them straight porn, gay porn (both lesbian and gay men), and apes having sex. They strapped monitors on the men's penis to measure an erection and they put these light reflectors in the women's vagina's to measure blood flow, which equals arousal for a woman. The people were also given buttons to push to say "Yes I am aroused" or "No I'm not." What they found was with men, if a man said he was straight, he responded accordingly. He would push the button and show signs of arousal on the monitor for things like straight porn, two women together, and a woman doing exercise nude. But would not get aroused for gay porn or even the animals having sex. Same with gay men. If they said they were gay, they were aroused my men having sex, but not women. What they found with women was that women were pretty much aroused by everything, no matter their orientation. So gay women were aroused by the sight of a man and woman together just like straight women. And straight women were aroused by the sight of two women together. And they were actually aroused by the animals too. They also found the women denied being aroused even though they showed signs of arousal.

In my experiences, I found that when I was younger and closed off to the idea of certain things (like anal or things like that) I didn't notice being aroused by a bunch of stuff. But when I started trying different things (like anal) I started feeling aroused by everything! Even things I didn't want to be aroused by. It's like the flood gates opened and I couldn't help but be aroused by pretty much anything sexual. Even images like two women together, even though I'm not a lesbian. Sometimes I wonder if that's why women are opposed to experimenting. They know that it can open up a flood gate of sexual desires, not all ones that are desireable (that's just my theory, that obviously isn't research talking).

So I wonder if that's where some of the questioning comes in. A man knows if he is aroused by something and whether he wants to do it or not. But I think women have the ability to be aroused by so many things, sometimes they wonder if that makes them gay. Not that some aren't genuinely lesbians. But I'm sure others are confusing simple arousal with a desire to have a lesbian relationship.

You have to take into consideration that the only girls posting those questions are the ones who are confused about their sexuality. That's not all of us.

LOL.I am one of these girls! I would say a lot are bi-curious (its more of a fantasy) whereas bisexual
girls would act on these desires.Not all girls are bisexual-a lot of girls just kiss in front on guys to turn them on but I'm not 1 of them!If a girl really is bisexual, she would prob be more like me-trying to hide it and slot firmly into the straight category. (At least until she actually accepts her sexuality herself).I'm sure its the same with lesbian girls too. I asked here because there's lots of intimate questions asked here anyway plus you can go anonymous lol!

Just my opinion but I think society lets girls "be ahead of the times" and express their emotions more freely than men. That being said, all humans notice attractiveness in both their gender and in the opposite gender. It's actually a necessary facet of the jealousy response, which preserves relationships and family units. ie: A guy gets jealous when his girl is talking to another guy that is much more attractive than he is. Never in a MILLION YEARS would they admit to thinking the other guy is attractive. Because current society might label that as "gay" instead of "human" - and make no mistake, that is 100% HUMAN. Not homosexuality.

Back to the girls. We're allowed to expess more emotions but our social labels aren't much better. If we find the female body to be pretty are we gay? (No, it's designed to be visually appealing.) If we think another girl is really pretty, are we gay? (No. It's obvious visual beauty that everyone sees, male or female.) But since we haven't really embraced the whole truth that ALL humans find some individuals in both their gender and the opposite gender attractive, we're left questioning our sexuality. Make sense? :)

I think you just notice it more here because the people that are not confused about their sexuality don't ask any questions about it.

Personally, I know I'm straight. And I haven't seen that many questions. I just think girls wonder though, because we get sick of getting hurt by guys... I don't think they realize that they can get hurt by girls in the same way as guys can hurt them.

Guys question their sexuality too, the problem is that there is no social support for it so they don't talk about it. Actual conversation:

"Sounds like fun... you mind if my husband watches"

More conversation

"You mind if my husband participates?"

more discussion of activities

"You ok if my husband sucks you off?"

That's a lot to go through just to get to the real request (sort of a bait and switch really). Her husband had said he was ok with her having sex with other guys as long as he could occasionally blow one of them. He was also working really hard to find a social context where it was ok to experiment.

Both men and women are attracted to certain features. For example, if I found Scarlett Johanson attractive, then surely if she had a male brain, it would make no difference, because her features are still feminine.
