Well, firstly, I’ve always thought sexuality is a fluid thing so even if you currently identify as straight, there’s nothing wrong with pursuing the same sex if you’re curious. In fact, congrats on being open minded and wanting to see what else is out there in the world.
That being said, I would try to find someone that you have a bit of chemistry with. Explain the situation and let them know that you’re curious, and looking to experiment a bit. Be up front with them, if that’s all you’re looking for. You don’t want to drag someone along and hurt their feelings because they think you’re looking for more than something physical.
I’m sure that you know some girls that might be into it already, hell, maybe some of your own “straight” friends are feeling the same way and you can help each other out. I can say from experience that I’ve had more than a few sexual encounters with friends of mine who didn’t think they were into girls. Just go with the flow and see where things take you. There’s no real rush, and hopefully you’ll find someone that you click well with and you have a lot of fun.
Of course, I have to remind you that safe sex is the best sex and if you’re planning on going out and picking up a random instead of someone you’re associated with, then make sure that you’re safe. Simple things like if you use sex toys, use condoms with them to keep everyone involved healthy and happy.
