Questioning My Label
Hi!, I'm new to 7 Cups, and this is my first post. I've identified as Gay for almost a year now, tho I've unconsciously known for much longer. I have both physical and romantic attraction to men, but only romantic attraction (honestly almost more admiration than anything) for select Girls,. Which has lead me to wonder how I would fit under "Biromantic" ... I know it is quite common for bisexuals to not experience the same level or type of attraction to all genders, but I feel like I'd be misrepresenting myself if I identified as Bisexual? Gay feels more right, but on the other hand, I feel it is too ridgid.. I know Homoflexible is a term, but I haven't really heard anyone actually identify as that. Is Gay/Biromatic common? Or is that more or less just Bi with a male preference? Not sure if this is the right thread to post to, so apologise if this is out of place.
Hello @TheCommodore64
I'm so sorry it took this long for you to get a reply. It sounds like you know for a fact you like guys but have also been attracted to a few girls in the past. Sexuality is a spectrum. It isn't uncommon for someone to find attraction in the gender they are predominantly not attracted to. If we were to use the Kinsey scale, most people would identify as a 2 or a 5, and that is ok! Whether you want to identify as homosexual or bisexual is up to you, and whichever label you choose is perfectly ok and valid! You are not wrong for identifying as whatever you feel comfortable with. Don't forget, if you change your mind later you can also change your label :)
Thank you for reaching out, I hope this helped <3
