Is it normal to like hugging the same gender?

8 Comments

I feel tired most of the time and dont have much interest in what I do. My friend told me I could be anemic? I was told by the doctor that I have depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and was told to take medicine. I also dont have much interest in the opposite gender. I realized that I liked my teacher of the same gender after hugging her in high school. Then I started to have fantasies of her.According to my dad, its masturbation. But I dont know what im doing also. I started to have feelings for the same gender. Could this have affected my organs in any way? Could this be the reason why Im feeling tired most of the time? Could it also have affected my body growth? I feel that my body looks small and unhealthy and I feel short too. I feel uncomfortable with my gender too.

    I don't know so much about healthy beside something that have to do with sexuality. They get it all wrong when they teach you about sexuality, it won't mess your organs up if you thinking about member of same gender. What your dad believe about the similar between fantasy and masturbation is bullsh*t, thinking have nothing to do with action.

    Just acccpet and love who you are. If any guy don't work on you and hug a woman turn you on, that could mean that you're lesbian. Nothing wrong with that, get out of the closet can make you healthy and happy.

      Thank you for your comment. Replying your comment, I had fantasies in bed too. I did not understand the word masturbation when my dad first mentioned it to me. So I read some articles about masturbation and realized that it could be masturbation. But I didnt know what I was doing then or that it has a name masturbation. It is like a childhood thing but suddenly felt the urge again after hugging my teacher. But that happened quite some time ago for a short period. I am just thinking if my depression and obsessive compulsive disorder and tiredness and growth are related to the masturbation thing last time. I put on quite a lot of weight at that time and dont know if any of my organs were damaged. Then I realized that it is not good for the body and I didnt feel the urge again. I am thinking if I should go for a body check up for this and for my growth because I feel tired most of the time. I am not sure about my sexuality but I am trying my best to not go against the natural order of things. I just feel more attachment to same gender. In conclusion, I think masturbation is not good for the body and attachment feeling have to be kept to self?
      I think both are sin?

    Actually, contrary to popualar belief, masturbation is good thing as it is healty for us. It help us keep our sex urge at the right level so we won't come off as horny desperate prevents. It can help you have a confindent sexual life. I don't think it have to do with "love yourself" as in love, it's more like respect yourself.

    I'd like to add something that is off-topic, do you know that for men who always do that are less likely to develop prostate cancer than guys who are so shallow and refuse to do it for life?

    Your sexuality doesn't affect your physical health. Depression could be responsible for most of the symptoms you listed. It's also possible you have anemia, it's fairly common in women, especially skinnier ones. As for your body size, you may still be growing, but you should check with a doctor if you really feel that it's unhealthy.

    Don't be ashamed of your feelings for people of your own gender. They're natural, and have no negative physical side effects.

    You could be bi-curious. Also how old are you; you could still be growing (you say you feel your body seems small and unhealthy) or you may just have self-confidence issues (you say you have depression after all). Your feeling tired all the time could be due to a lack of iron (which can you cause you to have anemic symptoms).
    Just so you know; you can't teach yourself to be attracted to a particular gender. Therefore masturbation would not affect this. There is nothing wrong with homosexuality - it is the way you are born (it's not something that is learned) and you shouldn't have to hide it. Masturbation is completely normal as well, a lot of people do it (though many may not wish to admit it).

    it's ok to like hugging the same gender. friends of the same gender hug each other all the time. but if you had fantasies of your teacher, you could be gay or bi. but that probably has nothing to do with any problems w/ your body.
