I am very confused about my sexuality. How can I determine what my sexuality really is?

Don't feel pressured to label yourself right away, if you need to take time figuring out what your sexuality is- that is 100% okay. Finding out your sexual identity can be a confusing time and it helps if you can talk through it with someone who you trust and who has your best interests at heart. Try to learn more about different sexualities- if you don't know the name for what you identify as you might have a hard time figuring it out. Thinking about past relationships and/or crushes can help you determine your identity- try to think about the feelings you had towards these people during these relationships.

Oh, let me see: so you are confused about your sexuality. Is there any time when you feel happy about loving somone?

For some people, sexual identity is very important. They want to have a name for what they are: straight, bisexual, gay, pansexual... for others, it's not cut-and-dried, and that's fine. They are all right being sexually fluid or just open to experience. If your confusion is happening because you fall more into a grey area than one that's black-and-white, you may want to let go of the need to define yourself for now. Let your feelings guide you and accept what they are without needing to evaluate them. You can trust yourself.

There is nothing wrong with experimenting. Ask people out people you are attracted to. Maybe ask someone you know who is queer and can give you some insight. Have fun! This could be a very enlightening period of your life. Keep in mind that everyone is on a spectrum. I know men who are straight their entire life and then find out after they are married that they are gay. I also have a friend that is adamant she is lesbian, but is now in a straight relationship because she loves her boyfriend. Sexuality is incredibly fluid, and it will take some time and experimentation to figure out. Trust yourself, there are no mistakes. Only another step to self discovery.

You cannot really 'determine' you will know when it comes to you. People fall in love with people for their minds, not for their body parts. Dont worry about not knowing exactly.

Your sexuality is something that only you will truly know. Something you can do to help you is to do research on the many different sexualities that are out there. You may end up finding a label that fits you! Finding out your sexuality is something that could either take a day or take a year. Everybody is different, so of course the time it takes for you to find out your sexuality might be different then somebody else's.

Really, the way I suggest is experimentation, thinking deeply about your romantic./sexual interests, and looking up various sexuality. Of course, these methods don't work for everyone, but in general, that's what I suggest.

The best thing you can do is be honest with yourself, I know that it can be confusing and it is but the best thing you can do is be yourself. When you seriously ask yourself truthfully who you are attracted to truthfully you may find the answer or you may not, remember that while labels can be a source of strength and unity they need not define you and you don't need to fit into a neat box.

Don't be so fast to label yourself. You'll know what your sexuality is when you need to. Just be comfortable in yourself.

Take your time in figuring it out. It might also help to find a friend, support group, or parent to support you.

Try acting like both a boy and girl then see what one you like better. What do you feel comfortable acting like?

Determining one's sexuality can be as simple as yes or no, or it could be a complicated affair that can can last a lifetime. Truly, there is no better expert on your own sexuality but yourself. Many individuals base their sexual orientation on persistent, lasting sexual attraction to others according to gender. Like gender identity, everyone's experience with sexual orientation varies and may change. A persons orientation is as unique and special as the person themselves.

The best way to determine your sexuality is to try everything until you finally find what is good for you :)

The first and foremost thing to take in mind is that you do not have to conform to any label! If you feel like you like the opposite gender more than the same gender, that is fine. On the contrary, if you feel like you like both genders then that is also fine. Some good advice would be to not conform to a label, as you cannot put a label on love, so if you want to be in a relationship with someone of the same gender as you but you have defined yourself as heterosexual before, it doesn't matter, as long as you are with someone that makes you feel happy and safe.

you can always kiss and tell :-p but to be serious just close your eyes and think that who are attracted to the most

You could try dating the opposite gender? If it feels right then maybe you have found your new sexuality but remember you can be BISEXUAL in which case you have equal feelings for both genders.

Sexuality doesn't have to be defined, just do what your comfortable with. Also gender doesn't necessarily mean who you are attracted to, so do what's natural

I don't know if anyone really knows what their sexuality is. It's a fluid thing. You have no need to label yourself anytime soon. You can go through life without labeling yourself. Society today gives us this pressure to label ourselves and when we don't, we feel lost. But we don't need to. As of now, I label myself as bisexual and when I'm not fully 100% attracted to every woman I come across, I feel slightly lost. I always question, am I really bisexual? But deep down, I know I am. I know I like both genders. You don't need to label yourself. One day you can be straight and the next you can be whatever you want.

learn about what all the definitions are, don't be afraid to experiment. and of course, never feel like you have to fit completely into one box. you're allowed to be fluid and unique. your sexuality is solely defined by yourself.

You can experiment, but it does take time. Or you can just not bother labeling it, you love who you love you shouldn't have to label it

when you ask your sexual preference, you must not be influence by anybody's criticism. BE confident to whatever YOUR answer will be. Don't be feel bad if its not the ideal answer, just be honest first within yourself. Observe and ask yourself and feel if you like girls, boys or both. Liking someone is not bad, even if its not ideal, as long you can give and accept those feelings. You and yourself will only determine your sexuality, it will take time and a peace of mind. Calm yourself and accept whatever you will realize. Just remember don't answer your question based on what other people say, look to your inner self :)

Sexuality is a very personal topic, so it's OK to have doubts about it. Don't rush in finding it out, and always follow your heart, because deciding things listening to it will often result in happiness.

When i was younger i was always confused about my sexuality so i did some research in to the many diffrent types of sexuality there are and how they applied to me personly i cant tell you how to find what tour sexuality is but what i can tell you is to follow your heart amd soul as it took me ages to work mine out to

research different sexualities and see which one you feel defines you best! You don't need to be definite.

It can be very confusing! My best advice, after years of debating with myself and analyzing myself... You don't have to know right now. You've got a whole lifetime to think and try things out and see what you like and what you don't! The way you "label" yourself can change over time too. Just take some time every now and then to think about it. If you are unsure or tired of thinking, there are umbrella terms used in the LGBT community like 'queer' 'transgender' etc that cover different kinds of people who are LGBT but don't really know in what way. But really - try to relax. It can be super stressful, but at the end of the day, you are wonderful and you should be proud of whoever it is you become.

You can for example look around on the internet for definitions of different sexualities. You can then see if there's a specific one that you feel matches you and the way you feel perfectly. You can discuss your sexuality with the people around you or in chat forums. But in the end, only you can label yourself. Whatever sexuality you say you are, is the one you are. Or you can choose not to label yourself at all. It's all up to you and what feels best for you.

It may take some time to figure out what your sexuality is. This may sound cheesy but, listen to what your hear and what your gut says. If it feels right, it usually is.

If you are not worried about labelling your sexuality then don't worry about it. To me sexuality is always fluid even if you can put yourself into one of many sexuality brackets. If you must, choose one that suits you right now then keep a record of how it changes. Also remember that with a sexuality such a pansexual it doesn't mean that you like every gender all the time, it means that you are not exclusive to dating just one of two.

first of all, don't stress if you can't put a label to it. If you like a person or a type of person, as long as you're happy then there's not much of a problem. if you still want to find a label, that's great! my first suggestion would be to work out what you know you like, so you can narrow down the terms you'll need to look through. Have a look online, read through terms, if you find a label that fits immediately, that's great! don't stress if you can't find one to describe exactly how you feel. A lot of the labels can be combined with other sexualities to be a more personal and in-depth name to put to a person. For example, I could choose to label myself as a pansexual demiromantic rather than just pansexual or just demi-romantic. I could choose to use bisexual instead of pansexual purely because it's a bigger and more well-known sexuality. Another thing to keep in mind is that it's perfectly normal to change your sexuality or your mind- this is you, and you change and grow like every other human on earth. It is very likely that you'll change your sexuality lots of times to fit you. Lastly- 1) sexuality is fluid. You can be bisexual and be 99.9% into girls but still identify as bisexual and 2) have fun with it. this is a new world to you. Enjoy the novelty of it.

Everyone has a different way, for me, I had to find another girl, she was bi, I was bicurious, we kissed, it made me realize, I loved it! I'm gay and its Ok! IRS better than Ok, its great!!
