How do I know if I'm attracted to men? For the longest time, I thought I was bi and leaned towards men, but I haven't had any crushes in a while. Any sites I can go to?

Your sexuality is not determined by your experience, but rather by your feelings. Even if you haven't had any crush on specific people for a while, what truly matters is who you could be potentially attracted to, who you find attractive, no matter how many crushes you've had for people of that specific gender. If you feel like men and women are attractive to you, if you could potentially see yourself in a relationship with both, you're bisexual, even if you have a preference.
