What does attraction and chemistry between same-sex friends mean?

Answer 1

danger get counseling to find out what's deep inside that brain of yours but whatever you do don't make the mistake of believing that you're gay just because you may have chemistry toward the same sex. this happens a lot. sometimes you could just have such a deep subconscious attraction toward that person because you desire to be and have what they are and look like. there's no danger of having chemistry but the danger comes in when you can't understand the type of chemistry it is. get counseling find out what's going on have a therapest help you sort it out it doesn't have to be a shrink you can go to a pastor, teacher, guideance counseler if you're school age, LCSW, or your parents if you trust their judgment. but whatever you do don't do something you may regret the rest of your life. intimacy with chemistry can lead to actions that may either locks you in to a lifestyle that you're either not ready for or the kind that enslaves you to something you're not either of these situations can become like an addiction not to mention expose you to health issues that could be damaging but take you to the point of no return. i don't need to detail all this you know what I'm refering to. God bless and please before you committ STOP, THINK, DON'T ACT.

AnswerI could not disagree any more with your answer above. It all really comes down to this simple question: In what age range are you in? If you are in your early teens (13 to 17), then you are still simply going through puberty and you have numerous hormones cascading throughout your body, affecting your brain functions, your desires, your needs, your wants, your sexual needs and wants, etc. That's perfectly normal. During that time, it does not necessarily mean you are homosexual or heterosexual or bisexual or even bi-curious. However, if these feelings continue and progress beyond the period of puberty (starting at age 18, typically when students go to college), they begin to understand which particular sex they are attracted to. Keep these young early feelings to yourself until you reach 18 to 20. Then, when you feel the time is right, and you do indeed feel chemistry and sexual attraction between members of the same-sex, then start to experiment. And when I say experiment, I mean things like hanging out a lot with a same-sex campanion or going out on dates or doing private things together (sexual or non-sexual, depending on the situation). You will feel all of this when the time is right, and then you'll know what to do. There is no right or wrong. The worst thing you can do is tell people who are not tolerant with same-sex interactions. Confide in a very, very close friend (straight or not). Remember, there is no right or wrong when it comes to sexuality, just like ethnicity and creed and sex. I hope that helps.
