Questioning [View all]

I've been in the questioning space for years. It started after my husband came out and we divorced. I have no recollection of sexual attraction to a woman. I am visually attracted to men, but I've never not once in 50+ years thought of sexual things w them. The best way to describe it is I view attractive men like a Teen Beat photo. Maybe I'd like to kiss them and they are awfully pretty but as soon as they show interest I run. I don't even know where to start. I just know it seems my whole life has been spent worrying if men like me as opposed to if I even like them. I loved my ex husband, he was perfect for me, but I suspect it was the things that made him different than a straight guy that I was attracted to. And I long for that. How does one go about figuring this out? Are there counselors that specialize in this?
