I guess it's if you fancy, or have feelings for people of the same sex- though there is the bi-sexual option too....

but how do you know if the feelings are real feelings?
Depends... If you're a guy, you get an itch in your anus and want a penis to scratch it for you or you need to brush your teeth and decide that a penis is the best toothbrush available...

If you're a girl, you wanna go diving into another girl's pelvic area head first.

"The proof of the pudding is in the eating" - meaning that you will know if you like it when you try it. Feelings won't necessarily develop into actually enjoying the act, although you may find after trying it you'll never look back.

So my advice is give it a go....and see.

okay. so if you dont want to give it a go, that means you arent gay, right? so then what explains the 'feelings'? and if you dont want to give it a go with the opposite sex anyway, then 'do you want to give it a go' isnt really a measure to go by is it? like i cant say im defo not gay because i dont want to give it a go with the same sex, because i dont want to give it a go with the opposite sex?!

You only fancy people the same sex as you.

If you find yourself feeling attracted to men, there's a chance, but it's not a certainty. Apparently it's quite common.
If your fantasies are almost exclusivly homosexual, so are you.
If your fantasies are almost exclusivly hetrosexual, so are you.
If your fantasies are about 50/50, you are bi-sexual.

If you are something like 90/10 either way you are the sexuality of the 90, but with either an overactive imagination or a curiosity...

Step One: Worry less about putting a label on it
Step Two: Once that's done, concerntrate more on what feels natural and what feels good
Step Three: After a while, you'll just know.

hey

title says it all really. its a serious question. if one is doubting their sexuality, how do they know if theyre really gay?

thanks x-x-x


There is no answer to that question because it can vary from person to person. Some people just know how they feel and never doubt it, others decide to think of themselves as gay because thats how they feel happy.

People like myself have gone through periods of confusion, denial and uncertainty before they finally understand and accept how they feel.

In the end its about yourself. When you stop thinking about what other people will think, when you are able to accept for yourself how you feel, without asking yourself if other people will agree, then you know.

You know how you feel. Its not about what society tells you a gay/bi/straight person is, its not about how other gay/bi/straight people feel, its about what you feel is the best description of yourself, and noone has the right to tell you you are wrong.

Explaining to others how you feel is a whole different matter.

You just just be curious you know.

The best way of telling is to kiss another member of the same sex. If you feel something in your pants (that can apply to both genders), then you are either gay or bi. If not, then you're straight.
