So how long can sexuality phases last?

I was just wondering, because I have ha urges for about two years now and they just arn't as strong anymore.

I think "phase" is a very vague term. What a phase is differs from person to person. So for all we know, I could be having the same urges as someone else, but it's a phase for them, but not for me, or vice versa. So this is really just a difficult question to answer.

What urges? Sometimes the best thing to do about sexual urges is act on them. :yes:

It would help if you were more specific..... :)
Okay then, when I was 15, about two years ago, I developed a crush on a very feminine jock, not a nice guy, but he was so good looking I didn't care.
Its been two years, I have had 4 different partners (all male, like me) and now the urges I originally had, the overwhelming lust that used to spill from these fantasies is now barely there anymore.
So I was just wondering is a two years too long to be a phase?

It probably isn't a phase. You might just have the need in your life to find someone special. If it was a phase you wouldn't have continued for 2 years.

I don't think it's a phase. I don't think orientation goes through phases.

I think it's much more likely that you're just getting used to it.

Maybe it's simply a matter of getting older. My "urges" dropped off dramatically around the age of 23-24, and have never gone back, but I found it a relief, as, at that age, my hormonally driven urges overshadowed everything else, and were actually quite bothersome.

I do find that when I have more regular intense exercise, get more solid sleep, and eat more healthy, my body responds with a lot more sexual energy though.

Tastes and desires tend to fluctuate.

There is no particular phase for sexuality as it is an emotion, the day it feels right to give it all up do so, until then enjoy the pleasures of life do not force anything on yourself or on others.

Can't brain. Has dumb.
I tend to fluctuate a bit. For a few months, I'll be more interested in females, then I'll be interested in males for a while, then back again. Lately, more strongly interested in guys than anything, but I'll still check out a good looking girl ;)

Tell me about it. I think I'm a little bit bisexual myself. No really, I do have brief but strange interludes of homosexual ideation that change nothing about my heterosexuality. Why am I telling you this? Because I prefer to be transparent.

You should talk to a teenage unwed mother...

Incidently I do not regard marriage as a particularly beneficial institution, I abhor the concept in fact, I say this as your comment seems to indicate I should consider the rite of marriage to be a 'good' thing. :D

Also I have no issues with teenage mothers...if they are commited to their children.
