I'm still trying to figure out for myself, but. I really have no idea how to figure out which side of the fence I'm on?
Ya' Know?
-Is really bad at phrasing things out-
Eulch.
Geh.

But, On to the point. How exactly do you know if you're.... You know? Attracted towards the same sex?

In an ideal world there's room for everybody, but you also need to ask yourself another question if you think you like the same sex. Are you ready to face prejudice? I don't believe in gays or bisexuality, but I do my best to tolerate it, but it's very difficult to hold onto those repressed feelings.

The best thing you can do is not openly display the relationship, unless you really feel you can handle the prejudice.

You've also got the bear in mind that at your age your natural reaction towards anything sexual could still be somewhat in the "EW" stage which might confuse you further. If part of your brain is still thinking, "Yuk, boys are smelly" then another part may take that as an indication that you like girls, when in reality you're just still going through the growing up process and maybe aren't particularly attracted to either yet.

I'd try not to worry about it too much, stick to being a kid and enjoying being a kid and let your hormones and body sort themselves out a bit.

I hadn't thought of that, that's a good point jelly. If it really is bothering you then try to find things that will distract it, or at least help you make up your mind.

I knew I was gay when I saw a naked man and giggled at the manly areas... Then when I saw a naked woman and blushed... And felt.. Other things...

I.... Actually think I'm leaning more towards liking girls, But...
What JellySundae said is actually making me think more about it -_-'

I've never had feelings for a guy, But... At the moment I think I have a bit of a Crush on one of my friends, and. She's a girl...
Getting a little awkward to hang around her.
Expecially when I know she's Bi, and has actually asked me out before. Which... I was a little 'What?' about.
Although... It could just be the fact that I know she has thought of me like that, That makes me think of her the same way?
Gosh.
-Is bad at typing things out-

I've always had the whatever attitude toward sexuality. I'm female, biologically, and I have been with more girls than guys, but I don't limit myself. I do find the female body more attractive than the male body, but I have been in love with a guy before. So I say, whatever you label yourself, don't limit yourself to all the wonderful possibilities lol

If you have to ask the question, then you're probably bi (or at least bi curious). But in all seriousness, it's not a question you should have to ask at all. If you are attracted to the opposite sex, then you aren't gay. If you are only attracted to the same sex, then you are gay. If you are somewhere in the middle, then you are bisexual.

._o Well.
I gess you just know?
I mean, for me it's always been pretty obvious. When I was a kid I was already kissing other girls in school. Ofcourse I was just a child back then, but whenever we played with my friends I was always the guy. When I was 11 I had a crush on a girl in my class. When I was 13 I had my first relationship with a girl. Right now I'm dating a guy but... Nah, I don't change. I only this year found out that there IS a definition for someone like me; Pansexual. I always thought I can't be bi because they only lik guys and girls but I like both and everything that there is in between and above them so...
But now I finally know what I am! Yippee!

I'm going through some thing like that. I have recently realized that I am Bi, at least sexually. At least I find women and men attractive. I haven;t ever kissed a girl, but I think I would like it. anyway, just be sure before you tell anyone. And try to find out. Heck look at porn and see if it turns you on. If that's ok with you, and you feel comfortable with it. Try boy-girl, threesome (boy-girl-girl or boy-boy-girl) and girl-girl. Good luck every one with issues.

I'm not old enough to be allowed to look at porn ^^'
That and my computer has a parental block.... -Kills parents for being overly... Parentish-

I never think this question is ever applicable. :roll:

Then again, I'm male and have equipment that tells me when I like something or not. :lol: I think women have it harder when trying to get their flame lit, if you know what I'm saying. ;) (Without 'arousing' it, might I say... -cough-)

I think... you'll know what you like when you know. :) Kinda hard to force something to fruition when you're confused - confusion can oftentimes lead to assumptions that may shut windows of opportunity for you too early on. D:

...Of course, I knew what I liked very early on. I even have memories to back that up!

Try thinking of your emotions as separate from your body -- "wanting to touch" versus "wanting to hang out with" someone, if you know what I mean. A lot depends on how old you are. When I was about 12-18, I was dead set straight, then when I got to college I realized that hey, girls are HAWT, but then I met-a-guy-fell-in-love-got-married, and haven't had any chances with girls, though like you I feel awkward around my best friend (she's very straight) who I think is *awfully* cute.

If you're not old enough to look at porn, then just let your imagination roam, look at people (politely and carefully), look at art, and most of all: don't worry. Though as Naluc points out, there still is prejudice against LGBTQs, in large cities and on most big college campuses, the atmosphere seems pretty open and accepting. But do be aware that some still find it intolerable -- and your parents might, too.

You sound fairly young, though, so at this stage I'm guessing it's a lot of touchy-kissy-fluttery-feelings, and I would suggest you go ahead and experiment (safely) with people you feel comfortable with. But always remember that body and emotion are very separate things, even if they feel so entangled right now.

Sorry to blather, hope this helps!!

Anime speaks so damn wisely. :yes:
You totally just inspired me, personally. :heart:
Without a doubt your words will help out Mortai. ;)

I'm not going to lie, I started fantasizing very young. I wouldn't say I "bloomed" any earlier than the rest, but I do imagine I found out a certain sort of rubbing felt good, if you catch my drift... Fairly young. D: Not entirely sure how that came about, but this was also way before I had any true inkling of what sex entailed - although I did feel a certain gravitational pull of attraction to guys all the while. :lol:

Honestly, sexuality is a journey of sorts. I've always been sure of my sexuality, personally, but it's not always that easy for everyone else. :) Sometimes it takes some serious soul-searching and reflecting - "Oh, I looked at her like that and felt that?" ... Things like these are telltale signs to at least a predisposition for bisexuality. Of course, don't go presuming you felt a certain way towards her... If you can't discern if you did or didn't, then it's obviously going to take you some future experimentation-of-sorts to discover truly. :)

Blah. I blather, as usual. (Anime made me do it! :illgetu: ... Not really. I'm always like this! :lol: )

And what Anime said is true - there's a slew of negativity and stigma still encircling homosexuality/bisexuality/the whole LGBTQIA community, and as such you'll be safer and more loved/embraced in large cities as well as large college campuses (although, personally, I found a private small Catholic-affiliated college for myself that is absolutely accepting, and I love it. They fully embrace differences, and luckily Catholicism is only upheld through tradition, without the normal religious guilt, God-fearing mentality, blah blah blah). But overall, if you find people similar to you wherever you are, you may be entirely safe where you are as well. :) Even in Mississippi, one of the states in the dreadful Bible Belt, manages to have friendly gay bars and whatnot - mind you, most are secluded and whatnot, but it's the principle of the matter that, uh, matters. :lol:

Sorry for talking your ear off. :) I hope you find whatever you're looking for! :heart:

I realized I was a lesbian a long time ago. Which gender gives you butterflies in your stomach? Which could you see yourself settling down with and getting old together?

If you think about sexual relations with a member of the same sex you're probably either gay or bi.

Hmm not sure. Right now I'm still trying to figure out where I stand as well. I would say go with your heart and choose what you desire since its your life and your body. :3 *hug* If you ever want to talk I'll be on for a while.
