Your sexuality can sometimes seem confusing at your age, or even 'fluid'-as in going back and forth. You are already intact with your sexual assignment/orientation, but most boys have to go on an odyssey of sexual experimentation to figure things out. Just have safe responsible sex, don't trash yourself or become used and figure out if you're more attracted to boys than to girls.
Boys are more comfortable generally, in the company of other males. And since your arousal rates are heightened at your age, sometimes other boys make easier sexual partners than girls. However, having gay sex does not make you gay. Continually feeling love & intimacy for only males, is an indication that you are gay. It's a life to be gay, not just sexual adventures or misadventures.
