Question
I am a woman who has only been sexual with other women in the past. Now I have a boyfriend whom I have been with for over nine months. We are starting to be more sexual with each other. He is a great lover and would do anything to please me.

The problem is, I just don't seem to be very sexually interested in this guy, even though I love our relationship. Could it be that I am only sexually interested in women?


Answer
I can see how your situation would be confusing. While I do not have an easy answer for you, I certainly do have some thoughts about your question.

Congratulations on finding a partner who loves to please you. However, this does not solve your problems. Sexual desire can be influenced by many things, including physical changes (e.g., low testosterone levels) or psychological difficulties (e.g., stress, depression). Your confusion about whether or not you have sexual attraction to both men and/or women may be separate from your sexual interest question.

In recent years, sexual behavior with the same gender has been thought to be less rigid. Most sexologists do not describe people's sexual activity in categories of straight sex, gay sex, and/or bisexual sex. It is thought that all of us fall on a continuum of attraction -- of being attracted to both men and women. How we choose to express ourselves depends upon many things including: 1) who we are attracted to, 2) how we feel about societal beliefs about sex with either men or women, and 3) personal belief systems.

Sounds like you have a good relationship, and that it may be worth your time to talk with a counselor or therapist to help tease away what might be going on. Sometimes, support and guidance from an objective third party can be extremely helpful in trying to figure these things out. Your gynecologist can also rule out any possible physical problems. Best wishes.


Best,
