    Teenage sexual orientation
    I am a teenage girl. I know I am straight and I really really REALLY have a big interest in boys. But sometimes it just crosses my mind "What if I were gay?" I know I am 100% straight and I absolutely want to be married to a man and have a family someday, but I am just wondering, is this normal. I'm going through puberty right now and I have been a little emotional when it started. Is it normal to wonder even though I am sure I am absolutely positively straight? I never think about the same gender I only think about the opposite gender. Just wondering if it it normal for this thought to cross my mind even though I am positive that my sexual orientation is STRAIGHT? Please reply!
    -- Thank you so much!

    It is very much normal.

    Even some teenagers have the thought of being or experimenting with the same sex, this also is normal. Does not make somebody gay. This is a time where hormones are changing and many life changes happen.

    So please do not worry about it and I am glad you came here to ask this question. I hope it helps knowing this is completely normal.

    Even as a guy thinking about being gay is inevitable. You might think about it or *experiment* with other people, and most of the time that's fine. The only thing is, if you do, make sure to have no regrets. In one thread someone wanted to kill himself just because of what he did with someone at his friends house. What you did in the past can be forgotten. It's the decisions you make now that count.

    You got to look inside yourself and figure that out because no one can help you but yourself.

    I hope you find your way.
    I did. (gay)

    Everybody has thoughts that are different than what they would do.
    Like in a store a person might have to tempting thought to pick something up and walk out with it but they are not the type to do that and don't. So what you have to do is ask yourself is would you act on it? If not then I would say you are not, but maybe rather just curious of their lifestyle.

    Welcome to your stage of puberty, teenage. You will get out of it as you grow older. Deep down in your heart you should be able to differentiate sexual attraction versus curiousity.
    Thanks

    Don't worry... you know that if your 100% your straight, no matter what you think. You will still be straight. Let your mind doubt, bi, lesbian, whatever. You already made up your mind! So why still struggle?

    I absolutely agree with the rest! No worries honey. You are just entering puberty and your hormones are racing. It makes you question yourself, but everyone does at your age. It's not bad or weird to think of these things. It will work itself out. We've all gone through this. Completely 100% NORMAL!

    I don't think it's sick, there could be a lot of reasons for this. I don't know your age, but you could just be exploring. I've been told it's normal for people to explore bodies of the same sex. Doesn't mean they are gay.

    Just like being with a girl doesn't mean you have to get married. It's all a personal choice.

    I stand by my comment above. It's normal.

    However you're WAAAAAAAY to young to start thinking about marriage, you've still go a good 20 years before you even consider that! LOL

    Could be just a phase. Its not sick but called curiousity in my opinion.
