Are You Normal?

I'm confused...

I'm 18, and I'm a little behind in the puberty range, if you know what I mean...everything else is normal, but I haven't started shaving yet, and have very little body hair, other than pubic hair. I've never had a girlfriend, or been on a date for that matter (paethetic, huh?)
Anyway, I'm not sure what my orientation is. I usually j/o to guys, mostly shirtless guys. I don't feel an emotional feeling, but more of a sexual feeling. I'm not sure if this is because I actually am attracted to that, or if it's because I'm jealous of what they have, since I'm rather on the skinny side.
I'm also attracted to women, but more on an emotional level. I feel emotionally attracted, but am rarely sexually arroused by a woman.
So, what do you think I am? gay? straight? bi?
Also, is it normal for me to really enjoy being shirtless? I especially love being shirtless in public, and when people see me without a shirt on, even though my body is rather skinny, I'm not that much to look at.
Do you think it's normal?

Id see a doc.you may have some sort of hormone problem going on there.Ive heard of late bloomers but 18 is a bit late not to have yet bloomed.
i wouldnt worry because no all people have a lot of body hair.but,i think your bi
you're a flaming fag
well.. i know what u feel.. not on the puberty part but on everithing else.. i'll give u my guidelines on determining ur orientation.. Your NOT gay unless you admit that you like men more than woman and you Straight if you admit that you like woman more than men.. So i would classify you as bii
This is way normal. You haven't developed your sexuality with women yet, of course you won't be attracted physically. Physical attraction does not define your sexual preference. It's the emotional attraction that's far more important. And when you find the right girl, you'll develop plenty of physical attraction.

In the meantime, being physically attracted to shirtless guys is normal, especially if you feel sexy or sexual feelings when you are shirtless. Also, if you're attracted to other good looking guys, there's also a jaleous passion component to consider. It's normal for a male to be attracted to another male who he wants to look like or might be a little jealous of.

Anyway, I wouldn't let our society's fear, hatred and homophobia make you worry about your sexual orientation. In fact, there are plenty of straight men who find the male body quite attractive physically. (See jackinworld.com) It's perfectly normal. Forget sexual classification, and follow your heart, that's what matters the most.

As far as jacking off to shirtless guys is concerned, you may want to start focusing on yourself instead, so that you can see that you are good looking and attractive to the opposite sex. Just fantasize how a woman might be attracted to you the way you are attracted to those shirtless guys.
go fuck a woman you actually have feelings for
your lesbian lol
its all normal i think, you seem bi to me, and i personaly wish i could run around in the nude because cloths are confining and uncomfertable
