Can we keep this about Lukeyeats? If he's still here, that is. Mahler/Maven - you both have good points but I think that the discussion deserves its own thread, as it's getting kinda philosophical now.

Luke? You still around? Are you doing ok?

I think there are different kinds of love too. I love everyone for who they are, but that doesn't mean I agree with them. As far as I know, I love you guys. I mean, can I say I hate anybody who I don't find attractive, or that I disagree with? I love everyone, but I choose to interact with certain kinds of people. I have respect and understanding for others beliefs and opinions, but that doen't mean I "accept" it. So, I prey that you learn the things that will help you best in life. But I don't know exactly what that is, and I can't pretend to know. Just, Good Luck!

No, I don't need to go deeper. I'm not going to get into philosophy that deep, Mahler. I don't care how I know or anyone else knows, or what "knowing" means. Like I said, if someone believes him or herself to be gay, or chooses to be, or whatever, it's good enough for me. I believe everyone should be able to do what they want, as long as they don't hurt anyone else or infringe upon others' rights.

I have an attraction to women, but consider myself straight. I love men. My attraction to women is strictly sexual, about curiosity, and minimal.

And LMo is right...this is about Lukeyeats. Lukeyeats, you might ask yourself not only why you think you might be bi, but what does bisexuality mean to you? Do you think it's right or wrong, a sin, unnatural, or what? (And don't limit yourself to one answer, if you feel more apply.) What do you think about bisexual people, gay people, gay and bi communities, etc.? Do you know anything about them? Are you sure you're not just curious? Remember, you don't have to define yourself at any set time. You can take all the time you need.

I'm w/Mayler...so to speak.....I believe that we all have the capacity to be attracted to both sexes....but experimentation is not the same as orientation....stay open minded & open hearted...and remember that youth is definitely a factor....what you feel today is not necessarily what you will want to be "bound to" in another 5-10 years....either way - you'll be fine....grace

Mahler, I like what you said. You're right on!

Speaking from experience, but NOT in the bi or gay world, when we're very young as in 11 - 20, we haven't experienced much to know what feelings are what. If you have or are growing up in a home where feelings aren't expressed, then you really don't know what any give feeling is that you may be feeling. If you've been abused, feelings get mixed up. It goes on and on.

At 50 was when I learned what real love is and NOT through loving someone. Is was through getting to know ME better. At 62, I know a little bit more about what real love is.

If our childhood experiences were found lacking, we may feeel attracked to someone, or a type of person, but that doesn't mean that it's a sexual attraction! It doesn't even mean it could be love. There are people that have one shining quality that we are attracted to. If we're inexperienced enough, we think we're in love. Likelihood is that we're not.

As for sexual orientation, one experience doesn't make you anything. It was just one experience! The teen years are for learning who you are, trying out new things. It's well into your 20's and maybe even early 30's that you begin to know who you really are, what you like and don't like IF you have a "normal" childhood, never mind those of us with mental health issues and abuse!

"FEELINGS AREN'T FACTS! FEELINGS ARE NEITHER RIGHT OR WRONG, THEY JUST ARE."
