Have you ever questioned your sexuality? (lemmy.world)

I’m a man. Only ever dated, been attracted to women. Recently I met this guy and I’m having weird feelings. I can’t quite tell if I’m attracted to him as a person or just like the way he treats me; nonetheless something makes me want to treat him differently than any other guys - the way I would a girl I suppose. My friends say I might be attracted to femininity in general regardless of gender and that’s why I feel this way, and the reason why it hasn’t surfaced until now is because I haven’t yet met a guy to tick those boxes. Wondering if anyone has been through something similar.

First, romantic attraction isn't the same as sexual attraction. Do you want to spend time with them or fuck them?

Second, honestly I somewhat wish I was attracted to men, but I'm not. I've known gay/bi men who are attractive, but I'm not attracted to. I'm not off put by men by any means, but there's zero sexual attraction to them for me. If this isn't the case for you, then you may be interested in men but repressing it because you haven't considered it before.

This is something you have to figure out for yourself. Consider the idea of sleeping with them and if that idea is interesting to you then I guess you've learned something new about yourself. Just like being attracted to women doesn't mean you're attracted to all women, the same is true for men and maybe you just hadn't met a man that does it for you until now.
