A couple weeks ago, we asked if you've ever been attracted to or dated another woman after only being with men.

Several commenters wrote that they'd always been attracted to women -- as early as elementary school -- but had never acted on their feelings. Some, like Trina, opened up to women after being cheated on by her man.

One of our readers, Cheri, shared her story of falling for a friend: "I was married for 10 years when I met Tami. At first I thought it was just sh*t and giggles. I found myself wanting to spend more and more time with her. I was falling in love. After about eight months I knew what real love for the first time in my life felt like. Telling my husband was hard, he was a good man, and treated me well but Tami 'rounded me out.' She motivated me to be more than what I ever thought possible. Life with her was a real one."

Katie, who is openly bisexual, points out that women aren't necessarily straight or gay. "The point is that even if you prefer to be in a relationship with women, either because you've been scorned by men or simply because it's more fulfilling, I don't think that necessarily means you no longer feel attraction towards men in general. I feel that I've been able to happily balance both at the same time, and only hope that all women can find their perfect balance."
