I'm not sure why I am coming to a forum to try and straighten this out, but here goes...
I think I am sexually attracted to men, but emotionally attracted to women (I am a guy). I can't think of spending my life with another men, I just don't think of them as an actual partner. But I am not turned on by women in everyday situations - except for when I am in a romantically charged situation, but even then it's not like with men. To complicate things even further, even though I usually fantasize about sex with men, most of my experiences have been a disappointment, whereas my experiences with women have been the opposite - always better than expected. Yet I continue to fantasize about and be attracted to men. This leads me to be generally disinterested in women sexually. |

Coldhe, welcome to psych central. Sorry to hear your confusion but there is a positive upside. You are having some positives with some of your partners.
Some people find certain qualities in women or men and not in the other. Maybe you can be friends with both. Some of these articles may be of interest - some not - pick and choose Psych Central - Search results for Confusion over male or female partners Other forums may also be of interest. __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

Something I might add is that sexuality isn't black and white. It's a broad spectrum. So don't worry about fitting yourself into a category, but find that person is special to you. Maybe you have good experiences with some men and not others and some women and not others. Just give yourself time to work through things and don't try to force yourself into one category or another.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
