How can someone be wondering about their sexuality?
Hi,
What’s the difference between people who have to ask if they're gay or not, and those who have no doubts about their sexuality? Trying to imagine having sex with the same gender is really disturbing, if it's not disturbing to you then you must be gay. Or are there levels of gayness or something? There must be; what's up with people who need to "explore" their sexuality? How could you say they are not more gay than someone who doesn't?
Or is there a difference between men and women when it comes to sexuality? I see women all the time asking these questions after having kissed a girl or something, wondering if they are gay.
Thanks

this is a very hard topic, because honestly finding your sexuality or knowing it is a hard thing to do. People can go for years being straight and then suddenly start realizing they like the other gender too. But the thing about that.. is if you really are bisexual, homosexual, pansexual, or whatever.. you kind of always have this feeling like you're different. and you may always be curious and have curious moments. you don't just wake up one day after finding women disgusting and think "hey i like girls" or the same thing happens with men. but then another problem is homophobia, specifically internal homophobia, which could be a person who is gay and has gay tendencies but because they don't want to be THEY FORCE them selves to not question their sexuality to be straight and alot tend to hate on any one who isn't

Sexuality isn't polar. It's a spectrum. There are, in fact, varying levels of gayness. The Kinsey scale breaks assigns individuals a number 0-6 in attempt to describe sexuality, and the theory also includes a section called "non-sexual" for those who identify as asexual. Sexuality may actually even vary more than this. Below is a link to the Wikipedia definition of the Kinsey scale:
