That seems fairly normal, to be honest, Silicon.
Anecdotally, I find a lot of gay men grapple with a similar thing, but with women rather than men.
There are plenty of men that I find very, very attractive, but I don't get aroused by men.
I think it's probably not uncommon at all, but not something people talk about because of how black and white a lot of people's views on sexuality or attraction are. When I came out to a couple of my coworkers about a year ago, one woman genuinely didn't believe me at first -- like really, truly she said I was joking or lying or confused -- because we'd have conversations in the past where I agreed with her about how hot Alexander Skarsgård is.
Never mind that I'd also openly talked about attractive women with far more frequency. The assumption almost seems to be that if you're a woman you will be able to comment on the beauty of both genders but if you can see anything appealing about the opposite then obviously you'd "prefer" to be straight and "normal," right? I think it's largely subconscious issues people have, but it makes for very awkward conversations.
She no longer talks about guys with me, too. :lol
