I am a 17 year old guy and I’m confused about my sexuality. You see, I have had crushes on girls in the past, but I never felt sexually attracted to them. I only thought they were cute. Many crushes later I’m in high school just after my junior year I started looking up pics of shirtless guys, and I looked at my friends in the locker room at school without their shirts on constantly. I started to wonder why I was doing this… and I thought to myself maybe I’m gay. So I have been researching for months now trying to find out if I’m gay. Now I’m a senior and I sort of have this crush on this guy that I hardly even know. He is right next to my locker, and we talk a little bit but that’s it. I think he’s cute, that’s pretty much it, I don’t want to have sex with him or anything. Although I am dying to try kissing a guy or something like that. I don’t know whats going on, I’m not ashamed of this, its just confusing and I want to know 100% before I decide to come out to my parents (they have been dropping hints about my sexuality). So if you could help me that would be nice.

You are a teenage boy and if girls aren’t doing it for you and you find yourself attracted to guys – it is quite possible you are gay. I think once you’ve had the opportunity to kiss a guy that you will find the clarity you are looking for.
My advice is not to go kiss some random stranger. Gay or straight, I think you still need to have an attraction for the person. I’m not sure how open-minded the area you live in is, so be safe if you decide to pursue your curiosity. Good luck and I hope you find the answers you are looking for!
