Dear Tom

That's a great question, how can you even tell if you're heterosexual? I think it's simply the feeling that shows us what attracts us. It could also be that you're bisexual. But it could be many things and it's certainly not easy to be in the dark. But don't stress, you have all the time in the world to find out and you don't have to have a name for it. Unless you need it for yourself.

Many people have fantasies and this has nothing to do with cheating. There is a great organization called du-bist-du.ch where you can read the stories of different queer people. It might help you to see how other people have found their sexual or romantic orientation and how they have dealt with it.

Sexual orientation

We take a closer look at homosexuality, bisexuality and asexuality and tell you what other so-called orientations there are. We also address the topic of exclusion and violence based on sexual orientation.
