i am a 15 year old guy. i have always like girls and i mean ALWAYS. never ever felt even the slightest love directed at a guy. 4 months ago i asked a girl out. after that, i had a crush on another girl a little less than 2 months ago.
I am really confused because about 3 weeks ago i started wondering i may be gay after i saw some line reading a soccer review where the player said "its a man's game". i have no clue why but that set of a chain reaction in me. after this i can count about 3 instances where i haven't been aroused that much by porn. i have never watched gay porn but for some reason it seems more exciting but not so arousing. i think it might be the hero worship happening now. i am sexually attracted to women ONLY and masturbate thinking about them only and do not fantasize about men.
my relationship with my dad is good but i don't see him so much because he is busy and my brother left for college last year. have not been able to meet my friends so much cos i have study leave for exams.
please help. i really need it
Additional info, added Sunday March 11 2007, 12:21 pm: another thing is that i am looking at otehr guys really closely. think it could be hero worship. its a phase where i look at guys closer. it happens when a guy is passing through (usually) the early stages of puberty but the thing is that i am 15 and my mid stages. i also realised though i am really close to my dad now there was a time not long ago when though i always loved him i was happy when he went off for a business trip or something because i didnt like the things he made me do sometime like clear my plate after dinner etc. ... haha yeah i know its stupid but that kind of continued. i mean i never disliked him,not anything close to that but 'preferred' it when he was not there from time to time. i can't beleive i ever thought that. i know it sounds like the kind of thing a gay kid would say or feel but i can tell you that there has been nothing gay about me till these weird thoughts. ANYWAY it says that in hero worship at teh beginning of puberty 'The strength or weakness of your internal masculine identity is a reflection of the way you have been able to relate to your father or father figure.; so it may jsut kind of make sense now. anyway i guess now its just hanging out with my dad and all i spose. i dont feel aroused when i see a guy but get this strange anxious feeling. im seriously confused... .

(to put it simply) Guys always check out other guys and look at their muscles and legs, and faces. But that does not determine your sexuality. You are curious. That's all. You are not gay.
Adorkable answered Sunday March 11 2007, 11:56 am: At 15 you are what we older folks like to call "curious." With your dad and brother not around you are spending alot of time with your mom..right? Being around a woman for a long period of time can rub off on you, get you confused about things. My advice to you would be to get out of the house more often and start just hanging with the guys. Have spit contests, play video games, talk about chicks. Do what men love to do. Pretty soon you will start feeling like your old self again. If not? Maybe you need to watch atleast ONE gay porno to see if there is any attraction what so ever, and then go from there. Just so you know, there is nothing in this world wrong with being gay. My bestfriend is gay, and you couldn't ask for a nicer guy! Hope it helps

You said you were sexually attracted to girls only but not to guys--that answers your question. If you can never see yourself with a guy or even kissing a guy, then that's that. Gay men have no feelings towards women beyond the friendship level.
Razhie answered Sunday March 11 2007, 10:11 am: Chill. You are fifteen. You are not required to figure out your sexuality tomorrow.
If you are still attracted to women, then you why would you think you are gay? Gay men tend not to be sexually attracted to women.
Curiosity, even about gay sex, is perfectly normal. This also may be something a bit more and you might have simply stumbled over a new aspect of your sexuality.
The bottom line is it doesn't really matter. Your sexuality doesn't define who you are and there is no reason to flip out over it. Keep your eyes open. Pay attention to yourself and what you want, but donâ??t expect to understand everything about your sexuality tomorrow. Iâ??ve been sexual active for years and Iâ??m still learning new things about myself.
Talk to your friends or father if you think that will help, but if you can relax and accept simple things without getting worked up over it, you could just keep considering the details calmly, without letting pointless worry run your life. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
