I'll say this, OP: straight people generally don't have to wonder if they're straight

I was confused because I knew I was a hopeless romantic but I learned I was asexual because I couldn’t experience sexual attraction. I never saw it as a need and got the ick when people would peruse me sexually. At first,I wondered if I was just a lesbian, but I realized that I just didn’t like the idea of sex.At least, not the horniness of it. I saw sex as something that I was only okay or open to considering doing for the person I loved. Even then, I wouldn’t be disappointed if I never had sex

Its also not a one and done thing. Ppl dont like to hear this but your sexuality isnt necessarily static and may evolve over time

but you should know it’s okay to be confused too! you don’t need to pressure yourself to figure out or label yourself. at the end of the day you are who you are. go with the flow, try stuff out if you’re given the opportunity and interested. there’s no rush tho. sexuality is complex

I figured out I was asexual midway through college. Before that, I always sort of guessed I was bi, because my feelings for both men and women were fairly muddled. Then in college I really understood the difference between sexual and romantic attraction, and realized I liked men and woman romantically, but neither sexually. Now I’m a proudly biromantic sex-repulsed ace😁

i think i knew just based off feelings of physical attraction. i was in middle school getting crushed and feeling shit and just realized i felt the same way about girls as i did boys. started dating boys and girls, and had plenty of sexual experiences with both genders to confirm. maybe just try experimenting or thinking about it more

yes. I have always known. Tbh it might help if you just take the pressure off yourself and think of it as a person to person thing

I had a pretty easy journey to figuring out my sexuality. I could go into more detail but really what matters is you feel comfortable in how you feel. There’s no need to put a label on yourself. There’s no deadline to figuring out your sexuality or who you are attracted to. Sometimes just talking it out is easy. And queer is always a label you can put on yourself if you’d feel better with one. TLDR; Finding out yourself can be a real struggle and there’s no need to rush it at any point.

I don’t bother to decide mine. If I like a person, trust a person, feel attracted, feel at peace around them, get the racing heart and lose track of what my limbs are doing, then that’s my orientation for now. If Bailey makes me feel that way, I am Bailey-sexual.
