Ahh sexuality, what a fickle beast you are.

There are tons of labels and in-between labels for sexuality. It's a "spectrum" thing, where you might not fall directly under one label but be a mix of different labels. It's possible you're attracted to men romantically, but not sexually. (Yes, that's a thing!) Just about anything is possible in the world of sexuality. The hard part is figuring out exactly what you are into so that you can form relationships you will like.

I'm one of those who experimented with bi-sexuality. My last and longest relationship was with a female. We were both "sick of men" and decided to try each other out. We were together for 1 year, long distance the whole time though. Still, it was very real for me and her. We talked on the phone almost nightly and I sent her stuff for v-day and her birthday. Problem was, once it was going to become an IRL thing, I realized I could not imagine myself touching another woman's... special places. Even hers as much as I cared for her, and she was waaaaaay out of my league. So I learned the hard way that I'm only into men... *grumbles mean cynical things about men* The really complicated part is that I'm on a spectrum of asexuality most closely defined as demisexual, meaning I have to have an emotional connection with someone to be attracted to them and be willing to do the deed. I also don't need to do the deed, but it's something I would like to share with the right person - for me it's more about the vulnerability and trust than it is the sex itself.

My friend is figuring out his sexuality as well. He's at that age where you would do so - he just turned 22 about 3 weeks ago. It's been interesting talking to him through this. While he's all high from the meds he's realizing some things about himself and trying to push his limits a bit just to make sure he's asexual, and if he isn't entirely so he wants to figure out what may or may not work for him. He's had some major traumas and wants to be sure it's not just trauma making him like that.
