Am I gay? So confused.?

I'm a woman and I find men attractive. Having sex with women does not interest me at all. But I love my friend who is a girl. I don't want to have sex with her, but I think I definitely would if I was a guy. I think she is beautiful, but I also know there are way prettier girls out there, but I personally, think she is particularly beautiful, maybe because of her personality. But I still want to have sex with guys, but with guys I haven't found that connection personality wise. Haha.. It's almost like she would b perfect for me if she was a guy, or I was a guy. This is very weird and confusing to me. Makes me question myself. My friend is straight. So am I- I thought, but then there is this love I have for my friend. But it's not sexual, only intellectual. Please, can someone help me work out what's going on?? I'm really confused.

    I believe you don't know the difference between a platonic relationship and a sexual relationship with the opposite sex. I surmise that you are straight but have subconscious desires to have a relationship with women. Dr Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychiatrist, discovered the anima and animus in both male and female libidos.

    Hmmm that's hard. To be honest only you can tell what you are, we can only hope to help you find your answer, even if only a little.

    Alright, so...I'm a lesbian, and to me it sounds like you might actually like her as more than a friend, but feel awkward/as though it's wrong to act upon those feelings because liking someone of the same gender in general tends to be considered wrong. From what you've said, it sounds to me like you could homoromantic (since you said you don't feel that connection with other guys) and heterosexual, you could even be pan, since you have a strong bond with your friend and that's why you like her, and I'm assuming that hasn't happened between you and a boy yet. Don't let labels define who you are, though! If you feel like you wanna try taking things to the next level with your friend you should definitely talk to her, but if you don't...that's fine, too! Just keep on doing whatever makes you happy.
