so, all I do is just sit around and think about whether I'm bi or gay, every second of every day in my spare time. then I sit at home, and go online and look up stuff to see if I'm gay or not. and I continuously ask my friends over and over again if this make sme gay or if this makes me gay, etc. Though, I came to find that this last weekend, when my siblings came to visit me this last weekend, we did one event after the other (it was a siblings weekend at this college to promote people to come there, so the had events and stuff). And while I was with them, I barely had a minute to sit and think about anything or obsess. I noticed this and realized that all the urges I got to kiss and all the sexual urges I got were almost gone. it was weird. I still got a few sexual urges around a few girls (but it wasn't strong at all, and I noticed guys a bit more), but that was it, and in the longest time I kinda felt like "myself". so, could living in my head so much be affecting my sexuality? and if so, how do I stop living in my head?
You may be around boring men. If you are gay that's cool but you might need more exciting guys. Like would you be turned on by a guy that embraced your femininity. I love to smell a girls hair and message her neck and soak in every part of her femininity cause it a a huge turn on. If all the guys you met are just boring and don't show enough affection of coarse you will question your sexuality. Try going out with a guy who is totally turned on by everything feminine and female about you. This will also make you feel good about being desirable to guys.
Actually, you may be right about this. there was this guy that got into an argument with me, and it kinda got a little flirty and I found it attractive and it turned me on a little! I don't know if he got it that I kinda like him now because of it, but you may be right. thanks! - 8 months ago
Not really. Lots of people have homosexual inclination in their minds but they don't seem to get out there and enjoy them. I generally behavior as the strongest statement of preference.
To stop living in your head, just go out and do things, keep busy, meet people, have fun. Sexuality isn't really something you discover through trial and error, as it is something you experience and pursue. If you like someone, regardless of the gender, go for it, or else you might ignorantly decide you don't like one gender, when in actuality you might meet someone of that gender you really do like.
there's nothing wrong with being undecided or queer. Its a good thing that you preoccupy yourself with other things. Wait for a person who also shows interest in you apart from kissing. I dated a girl last year after being undecided for a long while. Now I'm with my boyfriend. i embrace my bisexuality i encourage you to embrace your lack of decision its about the person, not what's between theirl legs or on their chest.
I'm bi with a tendency towards boys--I didn't obsess about it, kind of found out quite accidentally --was great and I adored being with the girl. But I want relationships with men and when I am in one I am monogamous (no three way relationships). I love the intimacy of one on one relationships because of the intimacy and how special the bond feels. I haven't been with a woman in years since marriage either and don't miss it per se but I still admire feminine beauty--you will learn the more you interact--thinking about the possibilities is not as great as sampling them...
it could be a fantasy.. myself.. I have at times debated.. but once I finally hooked up with a girl and did all I wanted.. I realized.. I'm straight. lol so just do what you can to find out.. but as long as its only in your head you will never know the answer.
you do need to go out, go out with friends family like your siblings. go bowling, go to the movies, ice skating, something active. maybe horseback riding, get a gym membership. exercise your stress away.
your obsessing sounds like it's already unhealthy, if you feel that this determining your sexuality is a problem worth obsessing over, you might want to seek counseling and talk with a counselor about it.
you need to occupy your mind with other things

Most people, whether they want to admit it or not, fall somewhere in the gray area b/t gay and straight. It is rare for someone to be 100% gay or 100% straight, though of course one tends to gravitate either to the left or to the right. But does it really matter? When you meet the right person, gender will become irrelevent. I think your main problem is sexual frustration--in other words, you desire a relationship and it's just not happening for you right now, probably because you are too busy obsessing over whether you want a boyfriend or a girlfriend. What I suggest is to get more in tune with yourself and your sexuality. Sexual satisfaction has two components, the physical and the emotional--you don't need another person to be physically satisfied. So getting the physical stuff out of the way will allow you to think more clearly about the emotional side of things, particularly, if there is someone you know who is compatible with you, gender aside. The reason you didn't feel so hung up and confused about your sexual orientation while your siblings were visiting was because you were distracted with LIFE, as you should be. Continue to be distracted with life. You will only meet someone if you stop overthinking.
It won't be affecting anything, but try to stop thinking about it. There's no need. You either are or you aren't. And just by thinking about it isn't going to help you. :) I would know. It seems like you don't really care either way, so if the situation arises, you won't feel weird about it.
All you have to do if one thing. Ask yourself; does the idea of being with a girl turn you off? Does a guy? There lies your answer. Problem solved. And just like with anyone, you're not going to be attracted to everyone! I'm bi, and I don't like all guys, or all girls. Once you're decided, that's it. Nothing left to think about. And you can always change your mind later one! You don't have to be lesbian for all your life, if you suddenly decide guys are decent. :P
Just get out, meet people, and see what happens! :D
All girls turn me on, but I'm not sure about guys. if I think about them sexually, it takes me a while to get turned on, but I like guys more for their personality. I dunno. god, I hate this. - 9 months ago
Answerer
You probably have more guy friends that girls, right? That's fine. It probably means you're bi, with a tendancy towards girls. :D It's nothing to worry about! You can still have girls as friends. I know of a few lesbians that are very nice. I mean, they went to an all-girls school, and coped fine. The lucky thing is that girls are more open and accepting than guys, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding someone who wants a relationship. Hope this helps! :) Good luck! - 9 months ago
Question Asker
Yeah, I guess. I just don't want to be like this. I don't want to date girls, but at the same time, I don't want to date guys cause I'm afraid that they won't turn me on. it's just frusterating. - 9 months ago
