Do what I did: Look up definitions of sexualities and figure out if you would consider that type of romantic partner.

Sexuality doesn't matter. You shouldn't feel that you have to label. You are a human being, and you love who you love, regardless of their gender, sex or anything else.

As a bisexual person speaking from experience, you kinda know the answers already, just taking a couple of seconds to be true to yourself and identify the feelings you are having towards different genders gives away the answers, still your sexuality is part of what you are, not who you are, so you do you, and take it easy

Being gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, ECT. Is all about experimenting. Coming out can be very scary. Being in the LGBT community is really great. Everyone is loving and sweet. Knowing what you are, deals with who you love. If you to date females romantically and like guys sexually, you are gayromantic and heterosexual. Who you love or like is all apon you.

You can try to imagine yourself with different people of different genders in sexual and romantic contexts and be as honest with yourself as you can about how that makes you feel. You can analyze your feelings and sensations, your physical and emotional response to these fantasies will give you a clue of what your orientation is. If fantasies about two (or more!) genders feel good, you're bisexual. If you feel good only about your same gender, you're gay/lesbian (if you're male/female).

Initially, it's completely ok to question your sexuality. The human sexuality is a broader term. If a person is attracted to different sex person then they are straight. Where as if a person is attracted to same sex they are known as gay, and for the females it is termed as lesbian. When a person is attracted to both the genders they are known as bisexual. One takes time to understand and figure out their sexual prefferences as well as to whom they are basicly attracted to. You can just ask yourself, whether you are attracted towards the same gender or towards the different gender. This process can take some, but you can open about this to your trusted people and gradually with time you will understand about yourself.

Remember there is no need to decide in a rush, discovering yourself is a journey. If you feel that the term gay or lesbian or bisexual fits you, then you have your answer. If you are unsure about it, that's okay, too.

Here is a little system you can use if you want? :-) ---------------------- A = women B = men Body: A = 3/5, B = 2/5 Feelings: A = 2/5, B = 4,5/5 Add it up: A = 5 B = 6,5 Sex: A = 3,5/5, B = 4/5 Relationship: A = 3/5, B = 2/5 Add it up: A = 6,5 B = 6 ------------------ Sum it all up: A = 11,5 B = 12,5 11,5 + 12,5 = 24 Now in the end A & B in %: A = 48% (11,5 / 24 * 100) B = 52% (12,5 / 24 * 100) Out of 5 choose the numbers yourself.. 1/5 or 5/5 and every number in between - with 5/5 being 100% of course. ;-) Now put the numbers in the system and add it up in the end, it should give a better view on your attraction to both sexes: There you have it, I hope it was helpful?

If you're questioning whether you are gay, lesbian, or bisexual, youre questioning your sexuality which can only be defined by your own feelings. Who do you feel most attracted to sexually and emotionally?

Well, if you've felt most if all of your romantic/sexual interests towards the same sex, honey, you're homosexual. I've liked girls since kindergarten. Say, this might be a bit odd, but if you could picture yourself having sex with someone of the same sex, opposite sex, or both. You are either homo-, hetero or bisexual. However, if you couldn't care less about the gender expression of someone, you are pansexual. If you aren't interested in sex at all, you are asexual. There are several sexual orientations related to asexual, such as greysexual or demisexual. Greysexual meaning you only are interested in people (sexually) under certain conditions. Demisexual being you are only attracted to someone who you have a very strong emotional bond with. Most importantly, it is not wrong to be gay, bi, pan or lgbtqa at all. Accept yourself for who you are, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise about it. It is your lovelife that is your business.
