mr69 agony auntI'll tell you what. This is completely normal to experience feelings like this. You are at that age in your life when you have mixed feelings for many people.

The Realist agony auntI think that you are just at the point in your life where you are figuring things out. You could be either or but it will take some time to work itself out. It may change still so I wouldn't worry about. Just go with how your body feels for now.

inhibited agony auntHi

If you derive any pleasure from having sex with women then you are bisexual and not "totally gay". Sorry if this doesn't clear things up and it seems I am simply stating the obvious.

You say you're "not sure about girls anymore" what makes you think this? When you masturbate do you mostly think about guys? Do you just not notice girls as much as you imagine straighter guys would notice them? Do you notice guys more instead?

I personally think that sexuality is shades of grey rather than just gay or straight or bi. I think that there are very few people who are 100% gay or 100% straight or spot on 50/50 bi throughout the entirety of their lives. Although I would have to admit most are 90%+ one way or the other.

It may seem confusing to you now and frankly that's perfectly normal. I'd recommend though that you enjoy your confusion for the moment and experiment. You are lucky enough to be young and I would suggest that you go with both girls and guys and see how you feel. Don't try and force things either way just take it as it comes and see who you seem to fancy the most and then embrace whatever seems right to you and accept your choice and who you are.

Never be ashamed of your feelings. Life is simply too short and never give anyone who is unwilling to accept you for you the time of day either.

There are lots of people who have partners of different sexes throughout a lot of their lives so don’t sweat it if you don’t seem to be able to make your mind up straight away.
