I'm sexually attracted to women and romantically attracted to men?

(I am a woman, just to clarify.)

The title question pretty much sums it up. I really only feel sexually attracted to other women. I'm not repulsed at all by the idea of having sex with a man, but it doesn't appeal to me in the least. Having sex with a woman, on the other hand, is something that I love doing and would absolutely do again. This is becoming a problem for me, because I only see myself in long-term relationships with men, which obviously destroys my relationships with women.

I've considered just giving up on enjoying myself in bed, but I think that a satisfying sex life is part of a healthy relationship. Is this something that gay people experience? Am I just not comfortable on some level with the idea of spending my life in a homosexual relationship? This is really frustrating for me, because I'll give up enjoying sex for a great, monogamous relationship with a man, but I don't particularly want to, and I don't particularly want to have an open relationship.

Is there something that I can do to make men more attractive sexually?

(Sorry for the essay, I'm just a little annoyed and lost.)

@nosilla,
Oh, we see longer opening posts all the time. No worries there.

I wonder if you're telling yourself two things, neither of which might be true. Namely,
  1. You can only have a long-term love and marriage in a heterosexual context
  2. You can only be sexually satisfied by same sex activities

What if neither of those turns out to be true for you?

I realize I draw the therapy card around here an awful lot, but have you considered talking to a qualified therapist about how you're feeling? I get the feeling, deep down, you're scared of commitment. Hence these two statements 'cover' you. If one doesn't work, you can go to the other. And, in both instances, you can avoid long-term commitments.

You don't necessarily need long-term commitments in order to be happy in life, BTW. But you might still want to explore this with a professional. Because always acting under the auspices of fear, and leading your life in avoidance, is not fun at all.
