'You're soooo gay!' In childhood, the term 'gay' is thrown around as a general insult - if something isn't cool, for example. Most of the time it doesn't mean you're homosexual, but it does show how as young innocents people try to be as 'normal' as possible. It doesn't mean you're gay if a few people are calling you that at school.
Fantasies and experiments A lot of people fantasise about the same sex, perhaps while masturbating, although they would never admit it. Many people experience feelings of attraction to the same sex during adolescence - due to hormones, curiosity and because sexuality is fluid; it is not 'black and white' or set in stone. People may experiment with people of their own sex, but this doesn't mean they are gay or that their sexuality is destined to be homosexual. So - Am I gay? Maybe. There are no hard and fast ways of telling - and it is important not to label yourself and think that's it forever - but you might think seriously about being gay if some or all of the following apply:
- If you pretend to fancy girls just for social reasons
- If you feel strongly and exclusively drawn to the same sex - in terms of who you fancy and love, not just who your friends are
- If you feel that same-sex desire is normal and natural and, when you hear of it, think: that's me. In other words, if you know in your heart of hearts that same sex desire is right for you
- If you feel that other boys' or girls' way of thinking just isn't you. You see things and feel things differently on some level
