How do I find out what my sexual preferences are? Shouldn't I just know?

Question - (3 December 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 3 December 2010)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have a very loving boyfriend of 2 years, and we are very happy together. But I can't help but think that I could be a lesbian. I've been very masculine all my life, and I've always found women so beautiful. I mean, I am an artist, so I find a lot of things beautiful- but even my boyfriend is very feminine in both looks and personality. I have every characteristic of a lesbian other than the fact that I love penises. Although, that could also be another artistic thing. I could see myself in a relationship with a female, easily. I've talked to my boyfriend about this, and he refuses to believe that I am even bi-sexual. But I think I'm really still too young (at 17) to know what my true sexual preferences are, and my boyfriend is the only sexual partner I've ever had. I don't know how to find my true self. I don't even know if I've found it already. If I am bisexual or even a lesbian, nothing will change. I will still love my boyfriend unconditionally, and I will still continue to be in a relationship with him unless he chooses otherwise. So should I even pursue this idea? Am I just trying to hop on some kind of perverbial bandwagon? I really need help with this one.

Hey, at one point I felt like this too, I found myself looking at other women and thinking how gorgeous their bodies are etc.

But I loved having sex with my boyfriend.

you aren't a lesbian. It's natural for women to appreciate the beauty of others but as long as you do not feel sexually aroused by a lady you're straight. And as long as you "love penis" you can be very sure you don't swing the other way x
