Am I gay or bi or straight?

I'm 40 years old and am still confused about my sexual orientation. Ever since I was in 4th grade, I was always turned on by big muscles. They always gave me an erection. I don't really seemed turned on by sex. I'm very turned by male or female muscle. I'm afraid to make any commitment to a woman because I don't want to deceive her. Why is the muscle and strength of woman or man giving me an erection? Am I bisexual or gay or what? Can anyone help me?
Do you think it's normal?

Muscle fetish...?
@: Sekhmet
Does having a muscle fetish mean I'm gay. Is there anything I can do to not have this fetish? Thanks for you response!
Hey, who cares, if you are bi... go out with a girl and tell her about it later. shell be happy, two cocks, you will be happy cuz you get fucked and your doing the fucking.
you're too old to change your orientation but i think your gay though
If you get aroused by muscle on either men or women then I'd say you are bisexual. Seek someone who is also bisexual, common orientation will make things much easier for both of you. As for the muscle attraction, it is just a fetish, an object of fixation that generates sexual gratification. It's neither good or bad, but find those who share this fetish and you will be on the right track.
i'd say you're bi.. and it's a good thing too cos i'm bi too..:) double enjoyment...
haha jus kidding.. but i definitely do say you're a bisexual... haha

None of this isnormal.

You're definately gay, because by the sounds of it, the only thing on a female you are attracted to is her muscle mass, and well.....

that's weird too, and not a lot of girls have very much muscle.

So, if you want a girl, you're SOL. If you want a guy, go to a gay bar.
who cares. you're ugly.
uh, i don't know.

Glad i could help!

hot damn, i should open an advice column!

Wow, abusive losers are really coming out of the woodwork today. Sir, I'd say that this isn't an issue of gay, straight, or bi. You most likely have a condition known as sexual fetism:

grow muscle of your own, then you can love yourself
what kind of muscle, a love muscle LOL!!
Probably means you either want to be dominated or you seek safety in a strong embrace. Nothing wrong with that.
Don't believe all the mean posts above. What you're experiencing is perfectly normal. Sexual orientation has little to do with sexual preference. A relationship is about emotional connection. Sexual identity is defined by whom you're attracted to emotionally, e.g. who you want to have a relationship with, not by a physical attraction.

My suggestion is for you to find an athletic woman that you also care about emotionally. And there is nothing wrong with same sex attractions. You do not need to answer the question of whether you're straight or not. You just need to find someone you can love and who will love you back, just the way you are, because there's nothing wrong with you whatsoever. If that makes you feel any better, I find good looking, muscular men quite attractive, and I am straight.

A good website is also jackinworld.com. You'll find a lot of data about others who experience all kinds of attractions.

Find a good therapist who can help you with your own self acceptance. You might also find out that your attraction to muscle could be related to your own feelings of self inadequacy and not feeling good enough as compared to everyone else.
I also have this fetish, and sometimes I think it's making me crazy. It is easy for me to get caught up in the obsession with muscle, but honestly, with me, I'm only crazy about muscular men. I know I'm gay, and I can remember getting erections when I was very young when I would see someone on TV or on a bodybuilding contest. I worried, and of course, hid my feelings for many years. Now that I'm "out", at least I'm no longer repressing my feelings. I think the last respondent hit the nail on the head when he/she said about "feelings of inadequacy and not feeling good enough as compared to everyone else"--fits me to a tee. I want to fix this personality flaw, but it ain't easy at the age of 48. It's very deeply seated.
