Hi, I am an 18 year old cis male and have been questioning my sexuality for a while now. I am attracted to females romantically and only feel like I would want to be with a female however I am not sexually attracted to women, but it’s the opposite with men. I don’t feel attracted to men generally but I do sexually and it is making me very confused as I want to be with women but not physically, whereas I don’t want to be with men romantically but I do physically. I’m not sure what to do any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, thanks for your post. Sorry you are feeling very confused but it sounds like you are clear that you understand that your romantic orientation is who you are romantically attracted to and your sexual orientation is who your are sexually attracted to. and this is perfectly okay. It may help to see sexuality and being romantic as a spectrum of possibilities and this is where you are right now and there is nothing you have to do right now. Of course at younger (and sometimes older age) this can be confusing and I guess you are on a journey of discovery. Just talking about this on a forum is a start. Not sure if this link will help www.lgbthero.org.uk/guide-to-sexual-orientations or this link www.lgbthero.org.uk/what-are-romantic-orientationsThere are times that I feel romantic towards all genders and non-genders and in the past this would confuse me. Sometimes, for me, writing stuff down or talking to someone in confidence (i.e. such as a wellbeing worker, counsellor) has worked for me. Would you consider talking this through with someone such as a counsellor or support line? See some links below. For now stay in touch and let us know how you get on - just remember just take your time. www.lgbthero.org.uk/find-supportswitchboard.lgbt/ |
