Is it normal to be confused about my sexuality?

I was sure I was straight up until 8th grade. Then I was sure I was bi. Cut to 4 years later, and I'm more confused than I ever was. I'm attracted to girls more than I am to guys, but I'm still attracted to guys. I'm not sure if I'm interested in sex with anyone, though. I did have sex with a girl once, and it was okay, but nothing special. I'm not sure if it's because I wasn't attracted to her sexually, or if it was because I wasn't in love with her. I currently classify myself as pansexual, since I don't know if I'm sure I don't like any one thing. At the same time, I wonder if panromantic asexual might be a better label. It's hard for me to put any one label on myself in regards to just about anything, especially my sexuality, which I feel like I should have figured out. Is this normal?

  • I'm still trying to figure out the same thing myself. Someone on this site said "I'm just plain, old me" to that subject, which I think sums it up nicely. Labels can get very complicated.

  • I'm nearly 30, and I've had a lot of sex, with men and women. I consider myself to be genderqueer and pansexual. But you know what? Those labels are only for other people, and the only reason I even labeled myself with those is to help educate people about non-binary sexuality. Labels are so limiting and don't really describe a person. Honestly I think most people are somewhere in between "straight" and "homosexual". Don't worry so much about what label you fall into, and just decide what kind of sex you want to enjoy.

    You don't have to be in love with someone for sex to be enjoyable. But don't just do it to do it. I don't know how old you are, but i'm guessing you're at least around 18. Just relax, have fun, go with the flow, and be safe.

  • You're still figuring yourself out, most people don't figure themselves out until their thirties, and some never do. But dont let that consume you, just have fun and dont think about it!
