My early attractions were all to boys but as I said in recent years I feel like I've lost sexual interest in men (not entirely, but it's rapidly dwindled). I always check out other women now. I have a LOT of platonic male friends and a lot of them treat me as if I'm another guy. As far as I know, this isn't something the majority of straight women would say about themselves.
I'm also really obsessive about anything that involves lesbian romance- books, films and the like, and I find myself moved more deeply by lesbian love stories than heterosexual. If it weren't for these things, I would definitely put it down to curiosity- but I get the feeling these are feelings that I'm just beginning to realise and want to explore. |
Most of the things you say about yourself apply to me as well, but I still consider myself straight. I prefer guy friends over girls as well, always have. Personally I have always chalked that up to growing up with a brother and male cousins. I was never your typical "girly girl."
I'm not trying to argue with you, so I hope you don't get that feeling. I just wanted to point out that I think these feelings you have are somewhat normal for women, even those you consider themselves straight. I personally am of the school of thought that if you are lesbian, you are born that way. Could you be bi? Sure... But given the fact that you said your PCOS symptoms and same-sex urges began at the same time, and the fact that you said you were attracted to guys before, makes me think there is a strong possibility that you are dealing with curiosity as well a some sexual identify confusion caused by your PCOS hormone changes (elevated testosterone, as well as increased male characteristics).
Just my opinion though LOL!
