What does being gay actually mean?

[Phill]

Alright i dont think im gay but i have had my thoughts in the past because im 15 and my hormones are raging girls get me hard i dont want to have sex with guys or have a relationship with them but does the way you act or think mean anything like if you talk weird or say "lol" because i was posting pictures of girls smoking weed on twitter and i got the strange thought that people would be like "Is he just posting these to prove he isnt gay?" I have watched gay porn out of curiosity and well i mean i got hard but i dont want to have sex with dudes or be in relationships is it normal for a kid my age to think and be this way?

sexually attracted and emotionally attracted to the same sex..that's it nothing else

Gay means you are attracted to someone of the same sex or the other meaning which is happy.I think at 15 your hormones are running wild lol and its causing you to maybe be sexually attracted to things you might find odd? You could possibly be bisexual? but then again you did say that you do not want to have sex or be in a relationship with a male. As for the gay porn, i think its completly normal to be curious and explore those types of things but if you got hard then maybe you are attracted to men but you could be in denial?

despite common misconception, there is no black or white "gay" or "straight" everyone on the planet develops some degree of attraction for both sexes (unless seeing the same or opposite sex completely grosses you out)


we might see a girl and think "she looks good / hot / cute / in that" or a guy who is ripped and we stare saying to ourselves "oh I wish I could look like that"


but most of the time, one degree of sexual orientation develops more then the other, which makes us believe that these orientations are completely one way or the other (or even completely bisexual people may (and often arent) attracted 50 / 50 to men and women)


so you are exploring your own sexuality trying to determine if you are gay, straight, or bi, but sorry to dissapoint you, you are going to have to ultimately determine how attracted you are to men, and to women, and then decide how you want to act on your sexual attractions
