i'm 19M in my second year of community college. before you read the title and just say "you're just bisexual" please at least read my whole post. i am going to be oversharing a lot so please bear with me. so from when i was 11 i thought i was bisexual because i obviously liked both girls and guys- when i think about a relationship, i tended to think more fondly about being with a guy but assumed i would still enjoy a relationship with a girl, partly because i found straight porn much hotter than gay porn most of the time when i would watch it.
however, when i was a junior in high school i dated a girl and realized the romantic attraction just wasn't really there. it has been about three years since then, and i still can't imagine being happy in a relationship with a girl, i just want to have a boyfriend and the thought of that makes me really happy whereas i feel absolutely nothing at the idea of having a girlfriend.
so for about the past year i had identified as just gay, even though i STILL think about sex with girls, i think they're really hot, and when i watch i still watch like half straight porn and when i do it absolutely does it for me. (i should mention, i also do love the idea of cock and just sex with a dude in general, that attraction is absolutely still there).
last year, i explained some of this unbalanced attraction to a female friend of mine, and we ended up doing a lot of outercorse together as well as oral and i really enjoyed it (we only didnt do penetration because of size concerns and we couldnt get big enough condoms either way. we don't talk as much anymore now so it probably won't happen).
i recently found out that another friend of mine is attracted to me, and my bestie encouraged me to reachout to her. i of course explained my complicated sexuality to her and she seemed to understand. we hang out pretty often and have done some light stuff but i really enjoyed it. i went to the fair with her and we held hands and i still felt absolutely nothing romantically.
last week, i was texting with yet another friend whom i have known for a few months, and we ended up discussing kinks and it turns out she wants to fuck me as well, like actual penetration and she says she can take it. she assumed i was gay previously but i had told her the previous day about my complicated feeling abt the girl i went to the fair with, so she understood that i was dtf, so to speak. we haven't done anything yet but she is really into me and we have talked about my situation a lot, she has helped but i am still confused about how i should approach my identity.
i still don't really know where i stand with my sexuality- i liked identifying as gay and i am afraid that starting to say im just "bisexual" will make my female friends uncomfortable somehow.. but in a way it feels even weirder if i don't mention it and they found out their "gay" friend fucks girls.... also, telling new people i meet that i am "bisexual" when asked, feels like it would absolutely be interpreted as meaning i would date or have sex with either a guy or a girl, and it would be awkward to say i like guys romantically and sexually but i only like girls sexually, which seems to be an accurate description, even something like "bisexual homoromantic" would require an uncomfortable (at least for me) level of explanation for anyone not versed in lgbtq terminology.
anyway, please lm know if you have any advice for me, i am just very confused about my identity and any help is appreciated 🙏 thank you
