I’m struggling with my sexuality. I’ve always been predominantly straight, but 3 years ago, I started feeling attracted to the same sex. I’ve never been with anyone of the same sex and do not wish to have a physical or emotional relationship with them, but I occasionally think about the same sex when I’m turned on, which then goes away.

Any changes in appetite? How would you like to connect with the Psychologist - phone call or online chat?
