I've been in a number of heterosexual relationships (with men) in my life. I currently live with my boyfriend of nearly a year (we've been friends for over 15 years).

For as long as I can remember I've had fantasies, desires and strong sexual urges towards females. I have never been sexually involved with a female but my first "online relationship" at 13 was with a female who I am still friends with to this day.

I have lost most of my interest and ability to preform sexually for my boyfriend. I do love him, but sex just isn't something I'm interested in most of the time. This of course has been putting a strain on our relationship. When we do have sex I have to picture women.

I guess my main question is...is this normal? To be so attracted to the same sex, never have a relationship with the same sex yet constantly have fantasies about the same sex.

@GypsyRose12 Hi. Thanks for reaching out to the 7 Cups community. It sounds like you have been struggling with this for quite some time. Different things are considered "normal" for different people. This could be normal for you. It really sounds like you care about your boyfriend. Perhaps you could try having a conversation with him about what you are experiencing. It may be helpful for you to keep a journal. Sometimes writing helps to organize thoughts and feelings.
