Is it normal to be physically/sexually attracted to guys but not emotionally

I'm a guy who can get turned ) on by gay porn (...or sometimes disgusted by it, and I also think some guys are attractive. But I don't really connect to a guy romantically. I'm a virgin, so I don't know if this is just my hormones or what not. While talking to a girl on the phone I feel emotion, if she's the type of girl that isn't just a turn on. When trying to talk to guys, I don't feel the same chemistry as I do with girls. I'm only outwardly attracted to guys, I don't really feel comfortable with talking romantically to a guy, it just feels awkward for me. It's not because I'm trying not to have those type of feelings, there's just nothing there. With a girl, I can talk about cuddling, kissing, hugging. If I talk about it with a guy it doesn't feel as sweet or intimate, it just feel like I'm saying these things to a brother or a guy friend. I obsess over girls, I never obsessed of over a guy, even though I had a crush on one because of what he looked like, and how I thought he might be in bed. What's the deal?

    I'm a guy and I totally understand where you're coming from.

    I've only ever have romantic feelings/relationships with females, but I often fantasize (even masturbate and cum thinking) about sex with other guys. When I check out porn on the internet I watch gay porn as often as I watch straight porn - it depends on my mood...some days watching guys fuck turns me on way more than watching girl/girl or girl/guy porn.

    I understand your confusion though. My fantasies about having sex with guys rarely includes romance - it's more often pure sexuality. (although I admit that more than once I've pictured more sensual experiences - i.e. making out with a guy, licking his nipples, lying together softly stroking each other)

    I've actually explored my fantasies in real life and I've loved every experience (it's amazingly hot getting another guy turned on). I love sex with women, but there's something kinda different when I have sex with guys.

    I'm not sure how to describe it, but when a guy's cock is really hard in my hand or mouth, when I taste a little pre-cum, or when I feel his dick deep inside me it's JUST RAW SEX!!

    You needn't worry about straight or gay, normal or abnormal, right or wrong. Just do what feels good to you. As long as you're always safe/respectful/honest, it shouldn't matter who you have sex with.

    Just like your mom used to tell you about new foods...ya never know until you try.

    I'm a gay woman and have this issue also.. I'm physically attracted to guys but never connected with one emotionally. I've only ever been with women (in my opinion they have the whole package) I think sexuality is fluid and different for everyone. Just go with the flow and do what feels right for you.

    I am the SAME EXACT WAY as that. I love to get with a guy and do physical things with each other. But my heart belongs to a female. I can not arouse feelings of romance with a man, just not happening. But with females it's different. It IS normal.

    I believe your situation is perfectly normal. I have the same thing! I'm a girl, and can be attracted to girls sexually but not emotionally, although i can do both things with a boy

    I'm a girl, always been in relationships with guys. I have those lesbian urges though. I really want to just eat a girl out and then make out with her. No one is willing (my friend who agreed got a bf and wants to stay true) and it's really frustrating. I'd never date a girl, nor do I connect with them. I connect with guys, but never in a "friend" way. It's purely sexual. IDK if i'm bi or not. Lol.

    I would love to have a sexy guy make love to me, kissing, touching, sucking nipples and cocks and ass eating and fucking. But I know that it would always be able sexual satisfaction for me, not an emotional attachment even if it was with the same one time and time again. Taking a sweet guys cock in my mouth and up my warm tight ass and taking care of him with my body would be a huge turn on for me but I would still only have emotions for my wife.

    You sound like bi-romantic heterosexual to me. Romantic orientation and sexual oritentation aren't the same thing.

    I'm a girl. Attracted to girls physically and only with really hot girls. I totally understand this. I'm in a relationship (and have always been) in a relationship with a guy. Never dated any girl and never want to. Watched lesbians shows and can't understand them.

      Ha, same with me. I watched gay shows and they just bore me. I only get excited when it comes to the sexual stuff. All of the dialogue, and the things that affect them as gays, I find it hard to relate to.

    I am a straight girl that can see when girls are hot or sexy, and can occasionally get turned on by lesbian porn, but I do not feel any desire to date or have sex with a female. I know I'm not bi because I only connect with males and the thought of sex with another girl sort of grosses me out so I think it's normal, but people don't admit to it.

    I wish I knew the answer to this... I'm also a woman that feels exactly the same way. I just... can't feel romantic with a guy, I don't get those tingles and overwhelming emotions. But I do REALLY love the purely physical side of sex with a man. Not sure if it's "normal" but you're not alone.

      PumpkinKate, I'm a guy, but you sound like the sweetest delightful thing ever. If I could dream of holding you in my arms, I wouldn't eat you because I hate pumpkin, but I love you Kate <3 xox

      Are you sure that you never feel tingles with a guy?
      I'd still hug you anyway :)

        Awwww~~! This made me smile :D Not sure how you dislike pumpkin though! Especially in pie form, with whipped cream? Mmm...

        Anyway, I don't hate guys or anything, and I like to think that perhaps one day I'd feel differently. It just hasn't happened yet :|

          I agree PumpkinKate (regarding your comment that no one can see)

          I ended up deleting my last comment (thinking I may have over stepped the line)
          But since I was still able to read your reply all is good.

          We'll leave it at that.
          Till next time my sweet.

    *ahem* Pornography is bad. Lust is a sin. Gayness is bad. That is a sin too btw. However, for you to like girl is totally normal as long as you dont lust for her with no emotional attachment.

    I think that is normal. Perhaps I am going through a similar situation. I am a 26 year old guy who feels attraction toward boys, but the only two times i have get closed emotionally to boys through the telephone I have found out that as soon as they start talking about sex, things start to be messed up. I just don't feel good, I might fantasize about gay sex and watch porn, sometimes i find it exciting, sometimes boring and sometimes disgusting. Perhaps you feel some sort of physical attraction toward boys, but what you really want is a girl, because you will be able to feel both romantic and physical attraction to a girl, taking in consideration everything you have said.

    Many (most) young guys think they may be gay.
    They prefer the company of other guys, and they can see how guys are cute (note: I'm not gay)

    But this adolescent feeling is not a sexual orientation, it is a bond that guys share, like when guys want to go fishing together no women allowed. But since young boys don't fully understand this they 'think' they may be gay. They are not. And reading your passage I truly feel you fall into this category.

    Its true that some young guys grow up to be adults and believe and feel they are gay. This ONLY happens after they have passed through the confusion of the adolescent days, ie We are not born gay, nor are kids born to love the opposite sex. This just grows on us over time.

    Words like 'sweet' and 'obsess over girls' and 'I don't feel the same chemistry as I do with girls. I'm only outwardly attracted to guys'
    Really shows me that you are not gay, but just in that initial bonding age of your mates.

    Anyway, that's my view :)
