    Hi guys. I'm a 15 year old guy and lately over the past month or so I've really been asking myself a lot of questions about my sexuality.

    It's the only thing I can think about at the moment and I just can't get it out of my head. I just keep thinking in my head "am I gay?" "am I bi?".

    Basically, when I was doing what teens do, I was "having one" as you say and I was thinking about girls, but it was taking forever so I thought about a penis and I nearly went straight away. Ever since then I've really been worrying myself.

    I don't know what to think, I'm not attracted to men physically at all and I don't find any men attractive. Only women/girls. I could not even imagine doing anything with guy in that sort of way. It creeps me out. (No offence)

    But yeah, I just want to ask - is this normal for teen guys to think? And will it ever go away? It's really annoying me and questioning my sexuality which I believe I'm straight but the voices in my head want me to believe otherwise.

    Can anybody help me? Please. It's really worrying me that I'm gay/bisexual which I really don't think I am.

    Thanks, Anon.

    Individual sexuality isn't a clear-cut thing, especially when you're only coming into your own as a sexual being - the fact that thinking about the genitals you possess helped you to climax doesn't necessarily mean you fancy men. Maybe it's more the idea of having similar turn-ons as hetero men - a "familiarity" thing, as it were. You're only 15, the idea of the male/female experience is pretty new for you I'm assuming. How familiar are you with the female body? I've read a number of posts from women here about how the thought of a naked woman turns them on and helps them to cum, yet they're not into the idea of actually being with a woman, and they fancy men.

    From what you say, it seems your attraction is, overwhelmingly, to females. And if I thought you might be gay, I'd have no reservations in suggesting it.

    Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it.

    The thing about the female body - well like I've had sex before so I know what the vagina is like if that's what you're asking.

    What I really just want to know is if this is common? Or am I one in a hundred that think of this? I googled it and all the results I found were girls that are questioning it. What I'm thinking is that I'm bi. I know I'm not as I don't find men attractive. I just can't get it out of my head though and it's really getting me down.

    I don't want to tell anybody close to me about it as I'd feel ashamed and think they're going to perceive me as gay when I really don't think I am. My family aren't judgemental but it's just the thought of it.

    I'm probably not making much sense, sorry.
