That curiosity thing again.

[entitled]

After spending a wonderful weekend with some of the litizens (love you all!) curiosity got the better of me again. Now i want to know.

Has everybody here always known their sexual orientation? Was there a moment of revelation?

i know there was recently a thread about this, and i went digging but didn't find it. Too lazy to dig further.

I thought I was straight until 4 years ago. Then I noticed my next-door neighbor, a handsome fellow with a Mediterranean look, and realized that I am actually bisexual.

To answer the question:

Yes, I have always known. There was never any curiosity about other men, if I want to know about men, I am one, I have the dangly bits, I can check anytime I want.

I have always been curious about the female of the species. Those erotic bulges of the upper thorax, the smooth transition of the lower abdomen to the firm, yet supple buttocks. The smooth, silky inner thighs...

Gotta go...see ya's later!

Straight, but appreciative.

I've pretty much known I've been straight ever since I'd thought about it.

I have been hit on by a man or two in my time, and I'm appreciative (hell, I'm not afraid to say I'm just needy enough to like being hit on by either men or women) . But I've never taken anyone up on it, basically because it's never appealed to me to do so.

While I've never been in a MMF threesome, I could see that being interesting, however. On the fabled one-to-seven scale Kinsey used, I'm likely a 1.

This was the poll I put up on that topic:

Sexuality

It dealt really with experimentation rather than the age at which one knew one's orientation. You should actually post a poll on that subject--age when a person knew, though I think most will say from childhood. As you'll see in the poll thread, in a lot of cases, the experimentation with the opposite sex (or same sex) was more a matter of giving into social pressure, rather than not knowing for sure.

Pretty much - I knew by the time I was 15 that I liked girls. I used to fight with my stepdad all the time because the thought being bi meant I was always having orgies. Anyhoo, I wavered a few times - wasn't sure whether I actually liked guys or not. I'd say I'm probably about 90% dyke, though what's in your pants isn't all that important if you're a good person.

From the time I was about 11 until I was 16, I had a strong desire to BE a man, or male, and was fairly confused or frustrated. Eventually I adapted to and accepted my femininity, although I have a rather masculine personality (in a group of girls, I tended to take up the more masculine roles). I do not consider myself gender dysmorphic, and am pretty happy with being female now.

However, sexually I'm fairly indifferent to women -- not adverse, not opposed, just not strongly drawn. I am androcentric, VERY attracted to men, to the point that I've sometimes commented I'm a gay man in a woman's body. I have been with women (as part of an MFF) and had a perfectly fine time, but it's not really where I am happiest.

So I guess that means I'm straight but not confined within the lines.

that sounds like me....won't say it could never happen, just that it's always been females I was interested in...

If I fell in love with a man, the plumbing would just be something we had to work out, like what kind of movies we like and whether or not to have a cat or dog in the house...

 

[Norajane]

I've always been straight, and always knew it - no moment of revelation or anything like that. I was never attracted to women.

I experiemented once with a female friend in college, but that was more about being curious about what it was like for men to be with a woman - experiencing the softness and curves and reactions, etc. Women are great, but they don't turn me on.

 

[rgraham666]

I've always known I'm straight.

In fact, as I've said before, I don't generally like men even as people. The guys here on the AH are a rare exception. But most of them aren't the testosterone addled jerks that make up the majority of my sex.

I've got plenty of testosterone, but I have yet to be "addled" by it.

My situation is very like malachiteink's though with some differences. I didn't understand that I had masculine feelings as a child. All I really knew was that I hated Barbie but loved to be Ken and make Barbie do stuff. I didn't realize (consiously) that I was atracted to woman until I was in my mid 20s and the recognition of a strong masculine side was even more recent than that. I would say that my feeling are nearly 50/50 M/F (sort of androgenious emotionally, that's why it's so easy for me to play the male roll, but I don't really want to be a man. I'm happy as a woman but I think I would be just as happy if I'd been born male. I am more strongly drawn to men but that might just be because I spent so many years unconsiously tell myself that I shouldn't be attracted to woman and hiding that fact that I was from myself.

Hmmmmm

I find women beautiful and stunning....
I am not bi per say... I have been involved in MFF threesomes where touching kissing petting has occured but I have never gone out of my way to be with a woman...

This has been the way that I have been since I was introduced to sex and... other things in sex

I just find men fascinating... I love their bodies... I love to stroke them and just watch them react... I love how they move, what their bodies will do and how they will react to the lightest of touches

Not unlike women. Their bodies a mystery to some females, themselves, even now.

I personally fatasized many things when younger and dominant was major in my mind, but not too condusive to high school mentality or sexual understanding and neither was my early known bi-sexuality. I have been with men and women equally and respect and appreciate their bodies and the sexuality in different ways. My first understanding of being Domme with males was in grade 3, and my first understanding of lesbianism was grade 6. Of course, it was confusing for much of life, but I understood myself and all of that sexuality best at 21 and better now - which is the greatest age. (not saying!)

I' ve always known I was bisexual. I've always enjoyed women as well as men. My first "experimentation" sexually at all in my life was with another female.

 

[elsol]

I remember her still...

California... the bus to the beach... 5 foot 5... feminine hips and ass squeezed deliciously into jeans... a crop top... skin the color of a latte with an extra shot of espresso...

She smiled at me.

If there was ever a chance of me being gay, bisexual, or guy-curious she nuked it (and that's actually a understatement... it's more like she dropped that chance into a black hole where it was never to see light again).

To this day, if a woman looks like that... I stare, unashamed, unabashed.

Sincerely,
ElSol

I thought I knew a long time ago, but I'm still in the middle of figuring it out, somehow. I've considered myself to be straight, but I am increasingly developing crushes on girls now. I kissed a girl for the first time the other day, and it was lovely.

I don't really like labelling myself at the moment, because I need to figure it out for myself first. Maybe I'm just a little bi-curious, maybe there's something more there. I'm actually glad that those feelings are surfacing now and not when I was fifteen or so - I would have worried the hell out of myself, along with everything else that was going on in those years. The way it is, I'm not too worried about it, but it's an exciting exploration.

 

[impressive]

I knew it before I knew it had a name ... and was rather surprised to learn that everyone else didn't feel the same.
