Is it normal to question my sexuality as a teenager?

I am a 17 years old male. Some background: I have always been attracted to girls, but sometimes I find myself aroused by guys. I often wonder if this is teenage hormones or if I am actually bisexual. There's nothing wrong with this either way, but it's confusing.

This other stuff might be relevant too. I have always loved to be naked. I try every chance I get in the summer. When I was younger, and many times in my life, I took naked pictures of myself because it was arousing. I like photography I guess, and I like the artsy aspect of it even without nudity inolved, but even so I don't know if this is normal. I do see lots of photographers in TV shows or elsewhere who like to take nude pictures, but I don't know how normal that is. During the summer I also feel the urge to be "accidentally" caught skinny dipping in the family pool. I have done it a couple times but have never been seen. I have done a lot of research over the years, too. I guess I am an exhibitionist of sorts? But it is tough to put a label on it. It could be teenage hormones, or something related to my sexuality. I have no idea. I just feel like I don't fit into any of society's labels and I don't understand my sexuality OR my weird nude desires. Are these desires/behaviors normal?

    Normal, it's pretty common to even have gay fantasies when your in your teenage years.

    I still find it weird that I've never really had any gay fantasies, but just recently started identifying as bisexual because personality means so much more to me than looks or even gender.

    Incredibly normal to question your sexuality as a teenager. I think many teens probably do. You just need to see what's persistent, if you continue to experience attraction to other men, you're probably bi

    As for the nudity thing, exhibitionism actually is a fetish, especially the part about wanting to be "accidentally" found naked. Some people really do get gratification from that. At your age though, be careful, since you're still a minor in a lot of countries.
