I'm 18 years old. My problem is sexual orientation, I don't pay much attention to girls. I think it should be different because I'm not 10, but 18, and I'm slowly entering my adult life. There are girls I look at but they don't turn me on. I like the character or the look, but it's over. I have a friend that I like. When he's gone, I miss him all the time. I don't understand it, but I constantly want to be close to him. It even turns me on a bit. I don't want to be homosexual, it's too hard for me. I want to be like the others. Is everything alright with me?
You have not undergone any initiation, neither with a woman nor with a man, so it's difficult to say something. If "theoretically" you prefer to be "normal" - then you would have to look for a woman who is looking for a man. It's much easier for a man than to look for a man with the same inclinations. Well, it's easy to advise… It would be nice to be in touch with a psychotherapist and discuss these dilemmas with him.
