I was just wondering, has anyone ever questioned their sexuality before?

rn\r\nAnd has anyone ever tried dating someone of the same sex to see how it felt?

It is funny how a lot of people think just because they are gay that they automatically have a crush on you. It isn't sure of course because as a straight person, you don't love every person of the opposite sex. The same thing applies. <br /> <br /> I had a bisexual roommate for awhile and not once did I think she was interested in me, and she wasn't. She liked someone else. Her sharing a room with me didn't really bother me. I changed in the bathroom but I could have even if I knew she was straight. It was more of a general shyness than to her. We were still friends and talked late at night and such. Nothing was weird about it. <br /> <br /> Now there was a time were a close friend of mine told me she was gay but it wasn't a big deal and we went on with our friendship but I felt like it was different. I later found out she did like me and in that amount of time, I realized I developed feelings for her. <br /> <br /> All situations are different. You still need the chemistry, interests, etc. Just having the body parts they prefer doesn't really make any sort of difference. ^^<br /> <br /> On the other hand, I believe that Zack is allowed to an opinion. I'm a firm believer that if we have the right to have our opinions in support for same sex couples, than the same should be for those who oppose it. We can't say that we deserve these opinions and then gang up on someone who has different feelings. <br /> <br /> What I'm opposed to, is being disrespectful and hateful. There is a difference saying, "I don't support same sex couples," and saying, "Same sex couples are disgusting and deserve to burn in hell". As long as someone can either keep it to themselves or be a decent human being, I don't mind it. <br /> <br /> I'm not religious, it's not my thing. I am not going to go around making insults to those that choose to have faith in it. If they are good people, then it doesn't matter. <br /> <br /> How are parents were and our upbringing has a lot of affect on the way we view things in life. It may be hard to shake some of the values and morals instilled in us by some of the biggest figures in our lives. They can change with having a new idol or person to look up to, a significant event in your life, or gaining some knowledge. If people say same sex is not what they like, I respect it and hope that in the future when its on a ballot, that they don't take it away from us just like we won't take their opinion away.<br /> <br /> I think everything will work out in the end with everything and it's only a matter of time. ^^<br /> <br /> Sorry long post. xD

i feel like when it comes to knowing someone who is bisexual or gay/lesbian, people have to realize that it doesn't mean they're going to hit on you.<br /> <br /> <b>YOU</b> make it uncomfortable.<br /> <br /> I knew a lesbian who was into me, and know what? She was my best friend.<br /> <br /> Know why we got along so well? Because I didn't think that she only was friends with me t have sex. We slept over. We hung out ALL summer.<br /> <br /> Was it uncomfotable? NO.<br /> Because I was okay with it. <br /> <br /> I hate hearing about how people can't think the same after going to catholic school. Yes, you had this drilled in your head, but your a PERSON. Think for yourself. Find out what is right or wrong to YOU.<br /> <br /> If YOU think it's wrong, then say it. But realize that no matter what, people will be thee to argue against you.

I love the assumption that gays/lesbians/bisexuals are all horny, crazed, sex-maniacs that f.uck every person that comes within a 10 foot area of them. <br /> Nah, we like certain types of people, certain looks, etc etc.. I won't f.uck every guy I see and I'm a bit insulted when people (not asying anybody here is doing this) assume that because I'm gay, I'm out to f.uck every a.ss I see.

I love the first response <i>every</i> homophobic person has to learning their friend is gay is "OMG We've slept in the same bed, how awkward! That's just SO weird, you know, that they're attracted to girls/boys and I'm a girl/boy." <br /> <br /> I have a question for you Zack, did your friend <b>specifically</b> say that she was interested in you? Or were you just assuming? Do you also assume every boy is attracted to you? No? Then why is it different when your friend is bisexual?<br /> <br /> My best friend in high school was bisexual. Slept over at her house countless times. I never, <b>ever</b> for one second just assumed she was into me. She eventually <b>told me</b> she was. I had sex with her, but she knew emotionally I wasn't attracted to her. I still identify as straight and there's nothing wrong with that.<br /> <br /> I personally crash in the same bed as three, four even five platonic male friends at least once a week. It's not weird, at all. Why would it be if they were the same sex as me and happened to be interested in girls?

Zack, do you believe in sex only for procreation? This is a bit weird, considering you /have/ posted in the sex thread... and if you don't have a child of your own.. I don't understand why you'd have that stance anyways?<br /> People can have sex for reasons other than "men + women", you know.. and men and woman all over have sex for pleasure, just like two gay men or two lesbian women.

well, i believe there is male and female persons for a reason, but I have nothing aganist non strait people, some of my friends are even not strait, once my best friend was a bisexual and she liked me, needless to say there were some uncomfortable sleepovers, but she got over it when she found out there was no-way-no-how

-waves- I started questioning me at thirteen-ish XD Took me a while to get to orientation, though; I got caught up with the disjoint between the physical 'me' and the actual me, being physically female but really an effeminate gay guy XD

Lol Clay! Quite a thorough quiz there! I bet its usually right!<br /> <br /> Liking your own boobs and liking others boobs are quite different, haha. I like laying on them, so comfy and such. <br /> <br /> But like I said, try not to over think it. Just go with someone you feel you have a connection with and not worry about gender seeing as you don't really know. You'll find someone that you're very comfortable around and care about. <br /> <br /> I love that if I knew if I got sick, I wouldn't worry about what I'd look like to Shay. I also get very anxious around other people so having actually fell asleep while laying on her is the kind of comfortable I seek. If I can't do that with a person.. then what's the point you know?<br /> <br /> Try not to put too many labels on it. Go with your gut and feelings. You'll find someone! <br /> <br /> I know it sounds lame to say 'not put labels' but in this case it's actually the better idea. Then you don't have to go "I think I'm gay" then say "Oh wait maybe bi" then finally figure it out and go "Nah I'm straight". I think it creates more confusiong. xD

Q1. Are you male or female?<br /> <br /> Q2. If you are male, do you like men?<br /> Q3. If you are female, do you like women?<br /> <br /> A. If you answered "yes" to Q2 or Q3, congrats you're gay<br /> ahahaha

Hahaha *squishes her own* Al likes her bewbs o3o<br /> <br /> And well, Al likes guys, but she has no sexual desire. However, she does enjoy seeing male on male kinda stuff, but that's about as sexual as it goes o.O<br /> <br />

Simple, does Al like boobs? I kid I kid. <br /> <br /> I wouldn't worry about what you are. You'll find the right person regardless of gender. I don't really consider myself 'gay' or 'bi' or anything. I am just me and I happen to love a female. That's all thats to it for me. =)

Hah, I dunno. I've known I was gay for years and years. Been raised in a gay/bi-pos home so I guess I'm lucky in that aspect.

I'm glad that it seems a lot of people are comfortable with themselves. :)<br /> <br /> I have a feeling that if I asked this many years ago, we would have had SO many different answers xD

I had a very hard time coming to terms with my homosexuality. I even married and had 3 kids, but I finally had to be honest with myself and my friends and family. Of course I always knew I was attracted to women, and "played around" as often as possible, but now that I am out...I am so much happier!! I am with the woman of my dreams, and life is amazing!!!!!!

I\\\'ve posted here I think. Anyway. I\\\'m straight. I don\\\'t find women attractive emotionally or mentally, and only to an extent physically. <br /> <br /> Someone teasing me is someone teasing me, I guess.<br /> <br /> I might just be a wh.ore. <br /> <br /> :O
