Thread: Seriously questioning my sexuality, can you help define it for me?

I feel a little lame posting this on Yahoo! Answers, but I feel like this is a great place, because there are real people out there to answer my questions, as opposed to researching it online.

I'm a girl. I've only ever hooked up with boys. I've only fallen in love [well, as much as a 16 year old is capable of loving] with boys.

But sometimes I feel as though I'm only straight, because that's what's expected of me. Does that make sense? I've always wanted to hook up with a girl, not just kiss or make out, but really try out a girl as I would with a guy, just to see if I'm actually bisexual. Like, I could picture myself with a female, dating one, and having sexual relations with one. I don't think I'm straight, because I find myself having urges for girls.. or maybe I'm just curious? I really want to hook up with a girl, but I have a problem with doing so, because I feel like I'd be using the girl to answer my own questions. I think it'd be unfair to her. I'm not sure if that makes much sense, but I'm really confused as to what I should be doing. I think I'll only know if I'd be willing to actually date a female once I am sure that I am truly sexually attracted to women.

Do I try a girl? Or do I continue pretending I'm completely straight with no curiosity and/or desires to be with a female?

I don't know how to explain it. I also find lesbians really attractive [and I'm not trying to fetishize lesbians, just explaining how I feel. I'm not a pervert. I just believe strongly that two women coming together is one of the most special things in the world.] I think women are beautiful, and have better bodies than men, too. Women are attractive, sensual and truly extraordinary people.

I don't know, can you offer some insight? I would truly appreciate it.
I really appreciate your insights. I feel more sexually attracted to women, as of lately. I would never force a woman to hook up with me, so I don't mean using in the sense that I would molest a chick to find out whether I'm straight, lesbian or bisexual, I just mean that I don't want to hook up with a girl and screw around with her mind if I'm not even interested. Like, I hate when guys use me for my body and not for who I am. Know what I mean?

Never be ashamed of who you are...if you're bisexual then be just that. If you want to try a girl out then do it! Just make sure that you explain to her first that you're testing the waters, meaning: BE STRAIGHT UP WITH HER...do not lead her on!
