Anyone out there who is female and turned on by females in the general public...lately ive been getting turned on by femininity but love my bf and love thinking of him cuz thats REAL to me...my mind is diverging though and i wanna know if you do this and if you still consider urself straight..cuz i do...esp since i have no urge to go sleep with a girl or be with one or hav ne connection with one.

i just get slightly aroused by em at times, esp pretty ones...and if they're old friends i dont think anything but if i just meet a new girl..i get a little anxious...like oh girl...i think its cuz im analyzing, but my questions is...is it ok to b turned on by them but not be w/one or even want to b w/one.

im confusing myself and i wanna kno if its ok to just drop it and go bak to seein girls as just pretty and hot and nothing more...i am sick of making mysel sick by thinking im gay just b/c im getting turned on by the same sex..i wanna kno if anyone out there has had this issue but is happy w/a man...oh and i dont like any specific girl either its just in general...

It sounds to me like you need to check out some of the work of Alfred C. Kinsey. Particularly his book titled "Sexual behavior in the human female"

Despite the extreme labels of sexual orientation that most people use, Kinsey's extensive research revealed that Most people are not strictly gay, straight or bi. He developed a series of tests and measuring a persons sexual preference on a sliding scale. 1 being completely heteralsexual and 6 being strictly gay. It was determined that the real minority were the people who are either extremely gay or straight. Most people fall somewhere inbetween. Here's a link to the book on wikipedia if your interested.

Okay,

Its totally natural what your feeling. Girls between the Middle/High school age tend to be attracted to other girls. It may not be the physical attraction, but the emotional attraction. Girls seem to understand you better on the emotional level, and are less confusing than guys and that is why you feel this way. I personally have never, but its natural. As to the physical attraction your feeling, it is okay to think a girl is "hot" or "sexy", and not be homosexual. I don't think your getting "aroused", i just think your curious. Comparing yourself to other girls or thinking they are attractive isn't being "gay" or homosexual, because being homosexual is wanting to/doing sexual relations with someone of the same gender. And you arn't wanting/doing either of those so dont worry about it. Its just a phase of growing up and learning more about yourself and who you are. Don't let this freak you out or draw you from your friends, just act as you usually do. Focus more on your man and this will probably pass in no time.

You've stopped seeing guys other than boyfriend as attractive because you love him. You only have eyes for him.

And then girls are pretty. They are. It's a fact. Plus the fact we are bombarded with images of sexy and quite often naked girls in adverts everyday, and told that it's desirable.

Look around, and enjoy looking, but if you are with your boy and you love him then the chance of you being gay are very small.

Good Luck!! xx

Honey, what they say is "if it feels wrong, you're not gay". If you really don't like the thought of being lesbian, then nobody's forcing you! Everyone has fantasies, we're all entitled. This is all you're doing, fantasising. And being gay is only a label, who says you need to tell anyone anyway? It doesn't change a thing honey. I doubt you're gay, I'm sure it's just fantasies. Don't worry!!
