Question - (25 October 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 25 October 2009)
A male United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I have always seen myself as straight but recently (starting a year or two ago) I been more comfortable around men than women. Like if I were to hug a women or a man I would choose the man. I decided to explore my sexuality so I kissed a man. It was not better than a woman but not worse. Am I straight, gay or bisexual?

A reader, anonymous, writes (25 October 2009):

My position on this kind of thing is there's no reason to label yourself. And there's no way anyone here can tell you what you are.

Some people are very confident about their sexuality from an early age. But I'd guess most people have felt some ambiguity and/or confusion about it at some point, especially when they're young but sometimes well into adulthood. Take me for instance... I'm very attracted to women, I'd love a girlfriend and I'm not at all attracted to men and have no interest in exploring a relationship with a man. But for some reason when I get aroused I have fantasies about sex with men. What does that make me? Confused, right. But I came to the decision that it didn't matter what I was. Whether I was straight, bi, bi-curious or what.

There's no need to label yourself, and just remember whatever way you feel is ok. There are no rules.

And you might be interested to know it's very, very common for straight (or men who identify as straight) to be curious about gay sex. There's a forum I post on sometimes which has a gay section and there is no end of posts from guys saying "I'm straight, I like girls but for some reason I want sex with a man."

Just remember whatever way you feel is ok, and there are no rules.
