Does being aroused with the same-sex makes you gay?

Do you ever get the feeling of being secretly aroused with someone with the same-sex as you? Even though you're labelled as a straight person?

Because honestly, and maybe I'm going to share my secrets after hiding it for 2 years, despite that I have a crush with an otaku girl. There's another otaku but he's a... he. And because of his kindness and well-behaved attitude alongside his charismatic and handsome gentleman. I'm finding myself aroused. Even though I truly respected his friendship with me until he left College a year later.
If God exists, then he should try extending my deadline right now!

I second this, not to mention bisexuality seems to be prevalent among people nowadays.

Not necessarily since it was an individual case that you do not act upon. Now if you find yourself desiring other men or wanting to take the next step, then Narmy is correct, you are at least Bi. If you prize the relationship above that with females, then you would probably be gay.

Good luck either way. Just don't confuse lust for love.

I wouldn't worry about it... You might not realize it but he might be hitting on you and you're reacting to it.

If you were gay or bi you would be feeling this way quite a lot more often and about many other guys you see like actors etc.

You might be feeling a little confused, and all you're really experiencing is a good old fashioned "man crush"

What helped me was the dopamine test.

This is that feel-good sense when you look at people you find attractive.

One thing in life I have learned is that you don't get to choose your sexuality, you only ever get to discover it. It also can change over time, but really not much by choice.

So, if you really want clarification, step back from what you want for yourself, listen a little more closely to what your body tells you. Take a walk outside and just observe people, who you find attractive, who you don't, and out of those you find attractive, who gives you a more feel-good sense, and who you just find to be good-looking but after a couple of seconds it was really just eye candy, and not attraction.

I thought I was Bi for decades until I did the dopamine test, and then realized I was only attracted to other men, and only really liked looking a hot little Asians in hot pants, and nice little titties. After the eye-candy settled I just was not really attracted to them. Their boyfriends however.....

You might be straight and just have a bromance crush.

You might be straight but curious.

You might be bisexual.

You might be gay.

Or anything in-between.

Listen to your body, and let it tell you what you are, and just accept it.
idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV

Nah, probs not. Things turn people on in porn that wouldn't turn them on irl.

I'm a lesbian, but when I watch porn I only ever watch straight porn, but the idea of straight sex in real life horrifies me :P

Sexuality is a scale. Few people are 100% gay/straight and lie somewhere in between. That's not to say everyone is bi, however. Some people might feel aroused by the same sex in porn, but would never date a same sex person romantically.

Don't worry about stuff making you 'gay'. Like what you like and enjoy it.

If traps have the outward appearance of girls, then it really isn't that gay. People like them because they look like girls, not because they are actually guys.

See OP look how he agrees its a man and how they're masturbating to men but denys it's gay.

That just means its okay but as long as you find excuses for your homosexual acts. You can say you're straight no matter what sex you're attracted.

Fantasy /=reality. Many men have rape fantasies, many women have being raped fantasies, doesn't mean that the former want to rape or the latter want to be raped.

As for the OP, it sounds more like infatuation than love - those are different things. People naturally react when people they find attractive (looks AND personality and whom are both more mature and worldly) pay special attention to them. And at his age, not at least thinking about the possibility would be more a sign of emotional repression, than a sign of a permanent preference.

And I would go as far as saying, at his age, in our current social environment, trying something once would not demonstrate anything. That is what Western Civilization is about, the ability to experiment to find out what one REALLY is. The animation Shin Seikai Yori covers this pretty well, but the idea is older. Unless he discovers that he is more attracted to men he would not be homosexual.

But here I need to make a statement: I don't believe that "bisexuality" exists. I think sexual selection is an either/or situation. I think "bisexual-ism" is more a willingness to screw anything that is available that a real sexual choice and so called "bisexuals" are merely obsessed with self-gratification. As such they are incapable of anything other than immediate self-gratification.

I think sexuality exists on a spectrum and it's seldom ever just black or white or this or that. Ten years from now you might be completely different in how you view your sexuality than how you view it today. Don't dwell on why or how so much, just let it be.

Ah, be careful with that. Right now PC Orthodoxy is that sexual selection is purely biological. If you say it is "social", you are opening a can of worms and while you think you are being inclusive, you may find yourself on the outside of what is considered "acceptable".

Oh yeah, people have barked in my face with this theory of there only being purely biological factors. Perhaps biological factors are a part of sexual predisposition, which could otherwise remain dormant given certain social conditions, but I'm not going to act like an expert on these things - it gets tiresome when people get so fired up about it.

I don't think so. When I was younger I had a thing for my friend. We dated a little while but ultimately we both ended up in heterosexual relationships. That was over 10 years ago and I don't consider myself gay just because I had oral sex with a girl one time. I agree with @vulturs about time changing things. It did for me. Time can change a lot about a person.

I don't really want to compare homosexuality to rape fantasies. But if you want to sexually "fantasize" over men and being a man yourself. That's called sexual attraction and falls under homosexuality. You can stay in the closet for as long as you want but truth is gonna stay the same and the majority's definition won't change no mattet how much yours does.

I think if you find yourself being aroused well past puberty, then yes, it probably means something.
Otherwise, for younger people, I don't think it means shit. I think many of us have, or had really good friends that if they were the opposite sex we would have totally tried to get into their pants when we were younger.

No. Only in our closeminded society are sexual relationships between people of the same gender viewed as gay. I have written on this topic on this board before.

It doesn't necessarily mean you're bi or gay even if you are attracted to the same sex. My case is probably an example. I get physically attracted and aroused by women of a certain type (physical features) but I'm 100% I'm not gay or even bi.

I also had a guy friend who referred to himself as "bi-curious" at one point of his life. There was a time when he felt a strange kind of "appreciation" for other men and even went so far as to wonder how it felt like to get it up the a** (though he never did such a thing) but that phase came and went and now I can say for sure that he's 100% a straight male.

So you can take that as you will and you can try to assess yourself what you really think/feel because in the end you're the only one who would really know your true inclinations.

I dunno, does being aroused mean sexually attracted to? Or is it just a normal expression we've overlooked, like being angry =/= hate ?? I mean the PS1 start up sound arouses many (myself included) does that mean it is sexual? I'm just trying to say arousal seems natural. Is simply being aroused by the same gender = homosexuality or is it "not enough" ?

I think that's little bit too far. I'm very disgusted about that.

EDIT: As far the reply goes that most they're saying that I might be labelled myself as bisexual. I don't think so. I think it's just a coincidence to me because this is the first time I felt this way for 19 years. (Yes, I'm 19 Years Old). But I didn't do anything sexual to the same-sex before, nor oral or whatever.

I figure it can happen sometimes in a sort of "stupid sexy Flanders" way, even with a straight person. It's a weird feeling, makes you question your self-identity. But no it's not automatically gay, necessarily.

No, being aroused with the same sex could mean watching a good heterosexual porno with a buddy or fapping to your girlfriends getting it on or having group sex.

Being aroused BY the same sex does make you somewhat bisexual. Who cares, though? People put too much importance on labels and categories.
