I don't think its the case that you are completely straight or completely gay.

At your age, how can you not understand your own sexuality? Why are you asking other people who you want to ****?

Alas, I'm pretty much just drunk and talking out my ass but I can relate to your confusion, Vanilla.

Edit: I just realized I didn't answer anyone's question and this post is perhaps utterly useless. Move along.

I'd be really interested to see studies about it. Thank you for understanding. And no, your answer was really appreciated.

Way to make it black and white. I know plenty of people that aren't sure of their sexuality, even in their 40's. I'm asking because I am not 100% sure whether my attraction to women is just appreciation or something more. I would definitely sleep with a woman if I had the opportunity, more or less to find out whether it's something I want to keep doing. Knowing me, I will most likely never do that. I absolutely love being with men, but I have this niggling feeling about women. I'm sorry if my questions offend you. I am not trying to impose on people, I just want see what thought patterns they have when they consider their sexuality.

I watched a movie on it in either a biology or psychology (same things, in a lot of ways) class a while ago but I can't for the life of me remember it. Googling the science of attraction just brings up a bunch of stupid "X facts about attraction!" kinda crap that's like 90% bogus, 10% common sense (herpderp, so-and-so's pupils dilate when they see someone they're attracted to!). If I can figure out what it was called I'll let you know, don't remember much of it but the bits I do were pretty fascinating.

I got a fail on the Kinsey scale, making me an "unusual person", apparently.
