Maybe TMI-ish
(Anonymous) 2015-01-28 01:25 am (UTC)(link)I don't know. I like watching lesbian porn and reading femslash and I fantasize about other women touching me sexually. (Just last night I had a sex dream about a female friend which was very confusing because she's a friend, a gorgeous, amazing woman, but just a friend.) But the thought of touching another woman sexually scares me a bit. It's not exactly repulsive but more "what the hell am I supposed to do?"
But I can't remember if I was feeling the same way about men before I first had sex with one. I identify as bisexual, but I feel like I need to have experience with women first to really count.
Re: Maybe TMI-ish
You don't have to have experience for it to count, but it sounds like it might help you with your confusion, since it seems to come from a "what am I supposed to do" worry.
And don't worry about stereotypes - people from all orientations have experienced uncertainty. I waffled about my bisexuality for some years until I was sure of it.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-28 01:52 am (UTC)(link)Please note that I'm not saying (general) you need to have had experience to define your sexual orientation, I'm only talking about my personal irrational feeling.
But to answer your question I honestly don't remember. I think I accepted heterosexuality as default for myself simply because that's what you're supposed to be, but as I said I have no idea if I used to have the same self-doubt about being attracted to men and acting on that attraction.
Re: Maybe TMI-ish
We don't really put that restriction on heterosexuals who are virgins/lack experience, do we? "Oh, you can't really be het cus you haven't had any experience with a person of the opposite gender yet." They still know they're het. (I realise that you're talking about internal, not external pressure, but this is just another way to look at it, not sure if it'll help or not.)
