I've always been straight, but have felt attracted to girls before (so inwardly bi). I'm 23. I feel being open about how I feel, sensually and otherwise, would help others to give me advice.

--I've dated guys only, & felt attracted to them at the time.

--I hate (I mean really hate) the male "parts." I don't even want to see it, ever.
(If that doesn't make me a lesbian, what does? Or do straight women exist who feel this way?)

--I can still feel very attracted to my celebrity crushes when I see films (namely Leo Dicaprio, Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt. So for a guy to even slightly spark my interest, he has to be on the top of my list of what I find physically attractive. Otherwise, I have minus Zero feelings for guys when I see them.) This gave me hope that I'm bisexual--but even with the most good-looking guy, if I think about the male "anatomy," I'm turned off instantly.

--While girls would find male bodies hot, like the ones on "Spartacus" I'm sure, I find it sooo ick... I'm only attracted to "feminine" looking guys.

--I love seeing female bodies.

--Seeing females touch each another excites me, particularly if it's a loving gesture.

--I'm turned on by girls I have feelings for more than guys, simply because they're female, & therefore, to me, more sensual.

--In my early teens (ages ago to me) I experimented a tiny bit & it was definitely enjoyable. I was fantasizing about girls then too, but that's a hormonal age. I never acted on this attraction since or put much thought into girls until now; maybe because we're taught to be straight, and I never even really considered females an "option."

--When I finally did start thinking about girls this year, I felt I wanted to *make* love to a girl, but couldn't wrap my head around the thought of going down on a girl, which I know s*x with a female involves. As my attraction increased, I felt I'd like it. It doesn't gross me out like straight s*x does.

--I figured out guys lack something I really love: breasts. I feel I'd be really unhappy with a male sensually. When I think about it, I always did feel like something was lacking with the male body.. like foreplay was "incomplete."

--Basically, I think what I really want sensually is the female form.

--My greatest desire was always to share my life, journey and myself, with someone, heart, body, mind..a connection I searched for in vain with my male loves. I'm starting to wonder now, if it's only a woman who can share my mindset. Which leads me to consider something else:

--Has my personality always been "gay" and I never knew it?

--I'm very feminine, a girly-girl in *every* sense. Hate jeans, never wore a t-shirt in my whole life, love pretty dresses. Terrible (really terrible) at sports but I dance & love yoga. I always stand out for being the most girly in every group of people, love to be the princess (my room is filled with flowers, dresses, fairytale theme, pink) & have guys protect me. Today, I'm just as girly, but I really look up to strong women and prefer to be independent. partners should protect each other. I don't feel females should be "less than" guys, no matter how girly.

--So, a lot of this is a psychological shift. It could last, it could not. It feels quite solid to me.

--My celebrity role model is Lucy Lawless. I admire her so.

--My female film star crushes are feminine yet tomboy-ish girls; Kiera Knightley, Emma Watson, Scarlett Johanson.

--I'm absolutely infatuated with the powerful, poetic love between the two female charcs in 'Xena.' It's what led me to realize women *can* be together.

--I feel like a girl can understand me mentally & emotionally, while guys can't.

--My want for a female love feels more "mature" to me than one for a guy. I actually don't want to be dominated or "babied" by guys anymore, or looked at as just "a doll." I prefer to feel like equals in a relationship.

--I'm a romantic, and could never just have s*x with a girl. I search for a bond that can't be broken, a true love & friendship.

Sorry the list is so long...but I have to know. I believe in being natural & hate labels, but need to understand where I fit in. I'm hoping there are people here that have the personal experience to help... Am I a lesbian..?
Thanks for the help.
I do want s*x with a woman, not a man. I thought I conveyed that, sorry, lol. I fantasize about s*x with a girl only.
I mentioned I hate labels because I've seen people console others over the need to label on here before, but I do wish to know if I fit into a definition of "lesbian" more than straight, especially from other lesbians or those that have more experience with this. Thks to any who comment.. :)

You're just like me! I found out that I'm bisexual with a female preference and maybe your the same. I'm currently dating a woman and we've had sex. The first time I ever saw a penis I literally threw up. I've dated guys before but never wanted to have sex or even touch. I've never even kissed a guy. Your either a lesbian or bisexual with a strong female preference. I think I'm the latter but I'm not sure. I hope this helped :)

Repugnance toward male anatomy actually forms no part of being a lesbian. In fact, you could find men loathsome in every way and yet not be a lesbian, if you didn't want sex with one or more women. It sounds like you don't actually want sex with anyone, but it doesn't follow that you need to stick an "asexual" label on yourself. If you did give yourself a label, though, that one probably wouldn't be any more inappropriate than "lesbian." But if you're sincere about hating labels, then just recognize that you don't fit into any of the common categories that have prefabricated labels, and don't give yourself a label.
