how do you know if youre bi? coz i havent had sex yet, im a 15 yr old male and i fancy guys more than girls but i still find girls attractive
I'm a 19 year old with a bit of a dilemma, I fancy guys often but I also look at girls.But lately I'm quite undecided.I wish I could test out either theory, but it some how seems to bother me.I didn't know I was bi till I was 14, and now I don't know in which direction to go to.”
I'm 15, i consider myself bi but i haven't told anybody. I guess I was always attracted to males but i never knew until I was 13. I am more sexually attracted to males but more emotionally attracted to females. I'm okay with the way I am, I used to be upset but I've come to just accept it and live on. I don't plan on telling anyone because I don't think its that big of a deal and I don't want people to just me because of who I am attracted to.”
I'm 21, I don't really see guys as that attractive, but when I'm quite aroused, ill happily experiment online with other guys, but its something that has been bothering me. Do I actually go for it in person and give it a try? Or do I keep doing what I'm doing and ignoring it? Anyone had similar thoughts and how did they deal with it?”
I'm 23 and when i was younger i thought i might be gay/bi, but as i got older at about 19 i found that i was'nt gay or bi and just kind of unfolds its self, you will know when your older x”
I'm an 18 year old female, I discovered I was bisexual at the age of 14, I find both men and women attractive and have had sex with both genders. However, I also have many straight friends who find their own gender attractive and will kiss their own gender and feel nothing. I would just say, experiment! You'll soon discover what/who you like.”
Its tricky to know your sexuality so young, but as you get older its a clear feeling you'll get. I love women to pieces and any chance to see them naked is fantastic. I can appreciate a guy is attractive but there are certain things I could never do with one. However the more you sexually experiment with the same sex the more you will accept that you could do the things you previously believe you wouldn't.”
hi im a 17yr old bisexual male and well i wasn't sure if i was straight gay or bi however i seem to have always seen boys walking down the street thinking "hot" more than girl i felt that i would be bullied if i said any thing so i have only told my closest friends and plan to tell family soon but honestly you are who you are and good for you be proud of who you are!!!”
I'm 16, female, and bisexual. I realised it when I was 14, however I do remember a time when I was 10 and thought I was a lesbian because I'd felt attracted to one of my sister's friends! I realised that I am attracted to both genders after I had kissed a few female friends. Admittedly I have not had that much experience with either gender further than kissing and light fondling, but there is no question in my mind as to my sexuality. As far as I'm concerned, you are what you are and even though it may take you a time to realise you are bi or gay, once you do you'll find that just feels right. If you say "I'm bi"when people ask, but that doesn't feel right to you, then you probably aren't.
It's probably good to point out that a vast majority of teenagers experience some gay feelings during their adolescence, and find they feel quite different as they get older.
Also, just so you know, it can be really difficult admitting to other teenagers that you are bi. They may make comments about being "greedy" or a "lazy gay" and be unkind because they think it's wrong, but if you feel that that is what you are, then it is your sexuality and your life, so tell them to back off and let you enjoy being you.”
I am a 20 yr old who has a full time loving relationship with a very attentive bf. however before i was with him i was with a girl, it was the 2nd one that i have kissed and i thought for a while i was gay, however when i got with my bf i discovered that was not the case i was more into boys however this taught me alot bout myself tht i can be how i am and not to be worried enjoy yaself try things and be happy”
im straight i would say , but i watch lesbian porn i dont think it means to much more than im interested,but i would walk down the road and think pwhawww at a lad but have never found a gal atractive in that way in "real life" lets call it.x”
I am a 15 year old guy who's had sex with both guys and girls. Personally I discovered that I was 'bi' after seeking someone to get close to when I was unhappy, and discovering that morally and physically I didn't mind which sex they were. Which was really unusual as previously I had been quite homophobic and ignorant. If you find both genders attractive it doesn't always make you bi though, I think trial and error is the best way of determining that.
p.s that's not how i lost my virginity.”
I am in the exact same possition as you. I am fifteen and like guys and, brobably more than, girls but from what i have heard, don't worry about it. Just make sure you feel happy with yourself. Addmitedly, i haven't told any of my friends yet but i am happy for now and am sure i will be ready to tell people later, once i am finalised abpout my feelings.”
I dont personally think it is something that you can decide at that age (15), im 20 now and still dont know so i consider myself bi as i am attracted to men and women for now. It confuses me a lot still though! the way i see it is that im young, so are you, just experiemnt and go for it, one day itl become clear im sure, you dont want to regret not trying something you werent sure about!
and just because you say your bi, it doesnt mean you in denial at all, especially if you get turned on by either sex x”
I came out as Bi last year to my closest friends, I'm yet to tell my parents. I'm a 17 year old girl and I've "liked" girls since I was about...well the first time I ever thought a girl was good looking was when I was very little and I told myself it was wrong, now I know it wasn't.
However, many people can fancy the same sex and not be gay/lesbian.
No matter which way you swing, you need to be absolutely sure before you tell anyone, because there really is no going back (I don't want to make it sound horrifying...). I haven't told my parents yet because my Dad's side of the family isn't very accepting, so I'm waiting for the oppertune moment.
Recently, I've been liking girls more. I have a lot of Bi friends and they've all said that you do end up leaning towards one gender more, but like I said, either way is ABSOLUTELY FINE and don't let ANYONE tell you different.”
Hey, I'm a girl who sometimes finds other girls incredibly attractive, to the point of feeling like I would like to kiss them or touch them, and have sometimes wondered if I'm bi, though at the moment it looks like I'm straight. I think it's a journey and only time will tell what feels right for you. Some gay people first come out as bi, because they feel like they should like the opposite sex, and later realise they enjoy same sex relationships more. It's normal to have feelings for either sex, though try and imagine yourself having sex with either a male or female crush - which turns you on more? Sometimes it's just the caressing that interests us, but the lust tells a different story. Give it some time and enjoy the journey of finding out!”
I'm male and 23 and agree with the theories Kinsey put forward. I have never had sex with another man and find women more attractive, yet occasionally I am attracted to another man. What does that put me as, well nothing. If you break down the distinctions of sexuality you find it much easier to pursue your sexual desires. If you find the right person, male or female don't hesitate, just let your heart guide you. :)!”
I'm 28 and have had sex with both men and women. I went with guys when I was younger cos I thought I should, but I actually identify as a lesbian. Occasionally I find men attractive but sex with them just doesn't do it for me! Some would say therefore I'm bisexual, but for me its about who I choose to sleep with rather than a full lifestyle choice. Each person is different, take your time and don't pressured into anything... try magazines such as Gay Times and Attitude (I have many gay male friends so am well versed on publications!!!) and see where you go from there! Good Luck in which ever way choose!”
I'm straight so your probably thinking why I'm replying to this post but sometimes I find a slight interest in girls.. (i am a girl myself by the way :D!) It's nothing serious for me, but my advice is to ignore any prejudice that people say and just follow your heart - not your head! :)”
heyyyy
im 16 bin wif my girlfriend for 6months now, shes my first bisexual relationship and really loving it. i didnt know i was bi until i met her and its been amazing ever since. do what you feel is right, its the best advice anyone can give you! :)”
Sexuality isnt black and white as straight or gay its a spectrum of bisexuality. If u look up Kinsey,s scale of sexuality on Wikepedia it will give you a True idea of human sexuality.From my experiences as a gay man ive slept with mostly guys ans some that say that their straight soand im attracted to some girls. As they say vareity is the spice of life! Goodluck”
i thought i was bi to start with.... but i just seem to love girls far too much... im only 16 and wouldn't like to class myself as a lesbian but its the way things seem to be panning out...”
I used to be straight, until a boy mistreated me, by making me do things i didnt want to do, i lost my trust in him and lost my trust in men, so i turned to my best friend, and weve been together for 9 months, i still like boys, but id be weary of getting with one, so my advice to you is to make sure you do what you want to do, do not listen to other people.”
Im the exact same as you... I find men more attractive than girls but i still think loadsa girls are sexy and they turn me on. Its really hard to tel but i think im just in denial and wont admit it to myself even though clearly i get turned on by both!! Its a hard thing to admit but the fact that im willing to have experiences with both sexes kinda shows me! Hope this helps”
I'm a bi woman, (23) and I didn't know I was bi till I tried sex with both males and females, I'd always been attracted to both but it was actually experiencing sex with both that decided me. I think when you're young its more important to be comfortable with yourself and whichever partner you choose then what label you identify with. Also you can be bi and still prefer one sex more than the other. When it comes down to it be happy, in love, loved back and comfortable, thats more important than your label”
From my own experience don't worry about it. At 15 you're bound to have different feelings and sometimes that can be for boys and girls. I thought I was bi until I was 17, then decided I only want to be with men. Just make sure you only do things with people that you are comfrotable with, you'll know when the time is right.”
I always thought I was straight until a few years ago when I realised I also find some women attractive as well.
I don't think there's any real way you can know for sure - but so what. You don't need to label yourself, especially not yet.
I think that the best way to proceed is to go with the flow, as in, if you meet someone you find attractive then consider taking it further, regardless of their sex...at least, that's how I would approach it if I were single now.”
It's not something that someone can tell you...but do you get aroused around guys? (physically).. do you fantasise about them? You won't know until you try it... but there's nothing to say you are / aren't gay.. it's just how you feel towards another person.
Personally I knew I was gay sine I was little, and knew in high school that I liked guys.. though I have never had penetrative sex with one yet.. I'm saving that for someone special.
If there is a particular person you trust.. or someone at school, try talking to them about it...after all they know you better than us online folk. Good luck”
Being bisexual doesnt necessarily mean that you like both sexes the same amount. Most bisexuals tend to sway one way or another. If you find both genders sexually attractive, then you are probably bi, but at your age, sexuality can be confusing. Give it some time to be sure.”
try not to feel so pressured to label yourself, the important thing is finding someone you love and loves you back, as long as you're happy that's what matters.”
You never really know for sure. I'm 19 and gay (I came out at 14) and I still, sometimes, think girls are attractive. You just have to ask yourself if you're attracted to girls because you think you should be or because you genuinely feel attracted to them.”
I'm a 19 year old with a bit of a dilemma, I fancy guys often but I also look at girls.But lately I'm quite undecided.I wish I could test out either theory, but it some how seems to bother me.I didn't know I was bi till I was 14, and now I don't know in which direction to go to.”
