i think im gay what are the symptons?

Answer 1

attraction to same sex not the opposite simply

Answer 2

First of all, being gay is not a "disease." It is NATURAL, though statistically more rare--much like natural light blond hair or being over six feet tall as a woman.

We as a society like to assume any sexual/behavioral deviation from "the norm" must mean a person is gay--they like to wear the opposite sex's clothing, do girlie (if a man) or "butch" things (if a woman), be especially sensitive/ expressive (if a man) or not (if a woman), finding a person of their same sex attractive physically, etc. But, the fact is, the only thing being gay, truly gay, means is that a person prefers SEXUAL relations with someone of their own sex. Transvestism, sensitivity/expression levels, atypical behaviors, and even "girl crushes" (if a woman) or "guy crushes" (if a man), etc., do NOT constitute homosexuality.

I would imagine that the "symptom" (the only "symptom") of being gay--sexual attraction to your own sex--would vary in intensity and expression, much as it does in heterosexualtiy. There are the hypersexual heteros who jump from bed to bed, and there are the heteros that fall for another person once in a blue moon, where the onset of the feelings/sexual attraction for the other person are slow and cautious. For you, you may feel great arousal at the sight of an attractive man, or you may just feel a bit more of a sexual inclination toward another man vs. another woman.

*Note that lack of attraction to women does NOT constitute being gay in and of itself. If this is why you are suspecting homosexuality, being gay may not be the case. There could be fear, depression, and/or other psychological issues at play there, ones for which you may want to seek counsel.

I had a friend in high school that confided in me one day that he thought he may gay but couldn't "tell for sure." It took another few years before he "came out" to himself, let alone the rest of the world. It may be hard to identify your own feelings right now because there may be denial present. Though our society is becoming a bit more tolerant, it still has a far way to go, and being gay is still not easy.

I hope you find who you are, that you can find peace with it, as well as have people in your life that will support and accept you. I wish you well.

Answer 3

may be u r not, may be u had a rough childhood that's why you think like that, search deep down in ur self n' ask ur self r u gay? or u want to be one?, the attraction to the other men doesn't mean Necessary that you r gay. May be u just want to be like some guy.
think about it more coz making this decision it will change ur life for ever, u'll give up on family u could have in the future,
So go 2 a doctor a therapist and may be he'll see wither u r gay or not

Answer 4

Being gay is not like having a cold, you either are or are not.
I think you used a bad choice of words when you mentioned
"symptoms" A gay person is strongly attracted to their same sex rather they wish to or not. I believe it to have something to do with the physically of a person including chromosomes and genes,or rather an imbalance of them! I believe a true gay person sees them self trapped inside the wrong body sex wise. I am not talking about bi-bisexuals or any of the other or newer terminologies only true homosexuals!

Answer 5

lol there are no symptoms to being gay trust me i know, you will know in your mind whether you are gay or not be the way you look at the same sex/ opposite sex etc, if you look at both males and females then you could be bi the best thing for you to do is follow what your inside is telling you and then you will find out for sure

Answer 6

Honey, being gay doesn't have "symptoms"...it's not a disease!

Maybe you should start a question with saying what you are feeling or doing in particular (and no, it's NOT all about sex) that makes you "think you're gay"...

Answer 7

a great wardrobe, fantastic hygiene, a coordinated home, a bathroom which looks like a fragrance counter in a department store and every gay guy has at least one fag hag and always a back up incase the other is broken :-)

Answer 8

the word "GAY" used to refer to being carefree/happy.....so if you are a little giddy maybe you are ,but if you are talking about being a male and being attracted to males in a sexual way as apposed to being attracted to females ??!!! get ready for this....I'm gonna hit ya with how God set things up.....he created them male and female for a reason...do not be lulled into what society has deemed acceptable/natural the male physic is attractive but the female was made for the male.......if you haven't heard it before here it is ....seek the truth and the truth will set you free ...don't mean to be preaching to you (well maybe) get a bible kjv 1611 and read it....I think perhaps some commen sence is what you need to work on if it was all male and male??? we can't make baby's by ourselves (yet but we are working on it) you need the help of God my Friend talk to him He will here you ,don't be led into the lies of satan,if you do not believe in him (satan) half his battle is won...........common sence......................hope this helps

Answer 9

if you look at men and think sexual thought you just might be gay. why not try looking at farm animals and think about sex, then you would just be a redneck. thats got to be better than being gay.

Answer 10

It's not an illness, and I'm sure you know the 'symptoms'.

I think your stupidity should be a bigger concern for you right now.
