You appear to homosexual or bisexual orientation from the information provided by you. Homosexuality is not physical and psychological disorders because of these laws are being change in all world gradually to provide it legal status. It is just a sexual orientation.
Sexual orientation can be of three types:
• Heterosexuality: liking for opposite sex

As you had tried intercourse then there is possibility of having bisexual orientation in your case, which need to explore. Bisexual orientation person better adjust in social-marital life compare to homosexual person.
Prevalence of Homosexuality-Bisexuality is around 2-4% in XXXXXXX and in some western countries it is more than 5%. Sexual orientation cannot be change and as this is not a disorder, so do not worry about its treatment.
