Just need assurance...

    • Just need assurance...

      I don't know how to explain myself properly but I'll try. I'm not exactly sure about my sexuality because every now and then, I'll find a guy attractive. It wasn't like this before but since I was a one-time victim of sexual abuse of the same sex when I was young...it's starting to take it's toll on my sexuality. I want to be in a sexual relationship with a girl but apparently, I can't get a boner from any them as much as I would like to. And same could be said for watching porn. A guy has to be present at all times in order to give me a boner. I feel sick every time I think about it.

      So am I gay? straight? bisexual? I honestly don't know. Is this a phase? It's what I'm hoping for.

      Am I the only one who feels the same way? I'm desperate for advice.

      I wish my fiance was here with me... He was sexually assaulted by another male when he was younger. He has never had a problem with getting it up & ready to go. Maybe you need to go get some counseling idk it helped my fiance when he was younger. But he does like it up the butt etc... bc he was assaulted in that area.

      Fucking hell, I didn't realise being sexually abused and supposedly being traumatised by it would make you want to relive it with other sexual partners.

      Sorry to hear that about your fiance. Not sure if I want to go with counselling but I'll keep it in mind.

      So if I'm "bi-curious", is it a good idea to experiment?

      And I'm starting to believe that. :(

      Yeah no need for labels, everyone is bisexual to some degree in my opinion.
      you're probably completely fine, but if you do experience some difficulties then I would talk to some type of therapist with experience with that type of thing because they would probably know a lot about it and be able to help you figure it out.
      Most of the time all you need is someone to talk to about it just to help your mind process it.
      Good luck mate.

      Yeah I have actually heard about how the mind can make associations when we're young that can lead to some difficulties.

      It is actually probably a really good idea to talk to a specialist about it because I'd bet the house that it's actually an extremely common thing, so there would be a lot of people in the therapy field that would have had experience and training with that exact situation and know what processes to go through in order to help it.

      The more I think about it the more I remember hearing about very similar stories and how common it is.
      What ever you do, do not think that you're alone in this situation because I bet there's literally millions of people who have had to go through the same thing and so there's probably an exstensive support network out there who are all ready and willing to help.

      I'd highly recomend just talking to some kind of therapist in the field about it at some point, if only just because they will probably make you feel like it's a completely normal thing and quite common and they'd probably have all sorts of helpful resources to draw on in order to help you out.

      I don't like girls at all sexually... so...


      It's just my opinion that everyone's bisexual to some degree because there's a little of the other sex in everyone.
      It's really impossible to be 100% male or female since there's both testosterone and estrogen in both man and women.
      You would be able to find a little bit of what you love about guys in a girl, even if it's 99% to 1% etc.
      It's more of a philisophical view point than a practical one. :)

      You should definitely experiment.
      My fiancé had sexual feelings toward men. Like, he didn't get hard thinking about a man, but he wanted to have sex with a guy to see what it was about. We used to have a strap-on and he loved it, so he was curious about what it would be like with a man. Guess you could say he was bi curious ;)

      He tried it and realized he wasn't into it as much as he had thought. You could have the same feelings. Or you could realize you're gay/bi.
