Am I bi or straight?

I’m sexually and romantically attracted to men.

I used to be both sexually and romantically attracted to women.

But now, I don’t feel any romantic attraction towards women, only sexual attraction.

I’ve considered being in a relationship with women, but I don’t think I’d be as satisfied because I have a yearning for male approval through a relationship, in order to fix my self esteem issues.

I don’t want to end up like those women who say “OMG I’d totally kiss a girl, but would never date them 😜.”

Please be brutally honest. Am I just straight?

    Sexuality isn’t a fixed thing, it can change over time and there’s absolutely no shame in that.

    I consider myself to be bisexual, I am a woman, and have been in a relationship with a man for a very long time. I understand the feeling that the sexual attraction is more than the romantic attraction, but that is maybe because I’ve never had a chance to explore those feelings (I’m early 20s).

    But that’s just my experience and how you feel is totally valid. There’s certainly no rush to put a label on things if you ever do that at all.
