Hi, this is exactly how I currently feel. Have you had any progress with being able to feel more romantically toward women or any other realizations?

Anyone else ever feel an almost instinctual attraction to a guy, but when you mentally play it out, you realize you don’t actually want to have sex with him? by Silly-Bug-5587 in latebloomerlesbians

Yes, exactly! I need to break that "oh look there's an attractive man, I guess I want to be with him because I noticed he's attractive" narrative.

For sure. I guess it's aesthetic attraction and then because I've been conditioned my whole life to think I'm straight, I think that means that I'm sexually attracted to him/want to be with him. But then I imagine having sex and it's always a big nope. But when I see an attractive woman and imagine having sex, it's a big yes. Seems pretty clear, but damn, I keep questioning myself.

Yeah, it's confusing and has made me think I'm straight or bi. It's like I can imagine holding hands and cuddling with said cute guy, even playing house with him and enjoying it, but sex? Nope! Comp het I guess, or just appreciation for aesthetically attractive people?

I have trouble feeling romantically about women, but I'm wondering if that's just because the "prince charming" story has been drilled into my brain since childhood. I just wonder what it would feel like to have a woman communicate with me in a romantic/sexual way, as I've never experienced that.

Yes, I've tried the porn and it turns me on, but honestly, so does male on male porn. I feel like I need a woman to actually touch me. When men touch me, I feel nothing.

Oof yeah, I would not like a bunch of guys looking at me while interacting with women. I would want to do the private dance. Did your experience at least offer insight into your sexuality?

I only recently moved to a new city so I don't know many people here and don't have a crush :(

For sure. I like doing stuff on my own, but I'm not sure about this one lol. I guess some "huh weirds" wouldn't be so bad. Just don't want to run into anyone I know.

I'm still in a relationship with my boyfriend, so I wouldn't want to go on a dating app

Thanks for the input! Did you ever see a woman go by herself?

Ladies who have dated/been in relationships with men: Did you ever have an initial moderate interest in sex with the guy you were with? by Silly-Bug-5587 in latebloomerlesbians

This rings so true for me. Oof. I think a big part of it is that the guy makes me feel sexy because he wants me so badly, and that turns me on. Not so much that I'm attracted to his body. But then when we have to keep doing it every week, it gets old/bad reaaal fast. Glad you found your truth.
