So I considered myself straight for about 23 years of my life. I never had a problem with homosexuality, but I never really thought about it either. I never thought about dudes, never looked at dudes, and "sexy" dudes like Brad Pitt or whoever never turned me on. I could recognize their attractive traits, but they never did what girls did for me. I even tried gay porn, to see if it turned me on (just to see if I was bi). Nope. My penis did not move. So I figured "Guess I'm straight and only like women. OK"
Then one day I saw a picture of a person and wasn't sure of their gender. It kind of looked like a girl dressed like it was a boy. Either way I was attracted to them.
It turned out to be a some guy (a straight one at that)! And I really didn't care. Now I've pretty much completely changed the way I look at guys. I still hold a pretty big preference for women, but I realized I actually have no problem with guys, their bodies, or being with them. SOME gay porn does it for me, but I find most boring (I never like the guys they use, plus porn in general is kind of boring to me now) but for the most part just the fantasy of being with a guy is just as much of a turn on as being with a woman.
Anyway, I guess the closest classification you could me is "pansexual" since I'm A-OK with trans people as well, but I honestly hate any label for it.
My main point of this story is that I've read all these other stories about bisexual and pansexual people realizing they were these things in their teens, and it was quite clear. I didn't even think about it until recently, and it was more like "Why not?" with a shrug. I honestly feel like I could love anyone (although I tend to be pickier with guys' bodies than womens'). But it's just so weird to me, everyone makes sexual orientation to be this big dramatic reveal but for me it was just sort of like "Huh, didn't know I could totally love guys too. Neat!"
Anyone else have such a hilariously, out of the blue, but totally relaxed realization of their sexuality?
Are people even reading my post?
