I think I might be bi...

Unread post by OrganicNatural »

So lately (as in the couple days), I've been having a lot of confusing things happening that makes me think that I might be bi or something. I guess it started a few nights ago (Sunday), when I was fantasizing about a guy. Pretty normal stuff, so I ignored it. The next night (Monday), it was about a girl. I honestly didn't notice this at first until yesterday (Tuesday). At this point I started getting really scared and confused. I started researching, and I pretty much concluded that I'm probably bi. After looking at a lot of articles, here's what I concluded:
  • - I'm sexually (physically) attracted to both females and males, leaning more towards females.
    - I'm emotionally attracted to both females and males, but females only as friends.
    - I fantasize about being with both males and females.
I know that I don't have to label my sexuality and I can just like who I like, but that kind of isn't really an answer in my book. I've been really confused and pretty scared too. Am I bi?

No one else can tell someone what their orientation is.

By all means, the term bisexuality is generally used to describe those of us who are either attracted to both men and women, or who find that gender, period, just isn't a big player in who we are attracted to.

So, this all comes down to if this is a term you want to use for yourself right now or not. But by all means, being bisexual -- or any orientation -- isn't something anyone needs to be afraid of. :)

And if you decide that you do want to identify as bi at this point in your life: Welcome to the dark side! We have cookies. :D
