Brief Answer:
It's a normal sexual preference

Detailed Answer:
lHi! Welcome to Ask A Doctor service. Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, it's common that such kind of mood swings may occur after orgasm due to hormonal changes and sudden drop in hormones which otherwise had contributed to the sexual arousal.

Some may feel guilt or low mood which isn't a pathological condition however you can have a sexual councilling session to remove your fears and guilts and to discuss your sexuality in detail without any fear of being judged or to feel guilty about.

It's also a common behaviour to be attracted to a specific type of sexual arousal or to be attracted to opposites sexual parts etc. Unless the behaviour isn't unhygienic or dangerous or fantasies that can cause harm to your body or to the other person it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Wishing you a healthy life ahead. Regards

so that doesn%E2%80%99t make me bisexual? how to make sure that I%E2%80%99m not bisexual? does my case have anything to do with the possibility of me having high female hormones?

Brief Answer:
Sexual orientation is mostly psychological than hormonal

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Thanks for the feedback and sharing your concerns. Actually sexual orientation is more of a psychological phenomenon than hormonal unlike orgasm or the act of physical sexual pleasure, preferences are mostly decided by environmental factors, past experiences, type of personality etc.

If you want to confirm whether you are bisexual or not in those terms you can have a detailed session with a sexual councillor.

If female hormones had been higher than normal it would have interfered with your physical appearance as well as development of sexual characteristics. If those are normal it seems less likely to be the cause. Wishing you a healthy life ahead. Regards
