I want to keep my sexual orientation private, but feel guilty if I don't say anything!

Question - (30 November 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 1 December 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hey. Basically i for the last year have been wondering about my sexuality.

About 3 months into the year i started to have feelings for women and become rather attracted to them.

This was completely new to me as i didn't grow up attracted to women and the idea of even kissing one really didn't appeal to me.

I now understand my feelings as they are rather complicated.

I ovbiously put down the rather sudden attraction to hormoans and gorwing up. I know there is a chance once my hormoans even themselfs out that the feelings for women could go away but i have feeling they won't.

I was at first really confused as the idea of being in a relationship with a woman and going through life with one really really didn't appeal to me at all, yet i was still attracted to them.

I have figured out that I couldn't possibably love another woman and when your talking relationship wise i am only attracted to men. But sexually i am attracted to both.

So yes i do guess that would class me as a bisexual which i am fine with.

However here is my dilemma. As i am only attracted to women sexually i do not feel the need to announce the fact i am bisexual to anyone like friends or family and the only person i would need to announce it too is my future partner which is a long way off.

Do you think it is a good idea i shouldn't say anything? as i said i have no intentions of ever being in a relationship with another women. So its not really a something you would tell your parents if it would just be for a sexual purpose?

I do feel i would be more comfortable keeping it to my self but i feel kind of guilty at the same time so anyway do you think it is a good idea i don't tell my parents or anyone else?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (1 December 2011):

i suppose it depends on how hung up you want to get on labelling yourself as one thing or another.

you appear to have put some thought into how you feel about what attracts you, and it's not really anyone's business but your own.

A female reader, Shadow Rose United States +, writes (1 December 2011):

Shadow Rose agony auntIf it's purely sexual, then there's no reason to say anything. Nobody wants to hear about other peoples sex lives, because it's more private.

But if you are not sexually attracted to men at all, you may want to tell that to any future boyfriend who is looking to get serious.
