I very much agree with what Big Toe has said. It can be very confusing because this world has really messed-up everything in this subject.
Just because you find someone attractive doesn't mean that you are attracted to that person. I really feel that this is the case with people. However, they begin to distort those feelings and convert them into something they're not. Thus, they act on something that never really existed.
I know it's rough and confusing. Just pray and don't give up. God will lead you out of this, if you give Him that chance. You just have to let Him take over.
I just want to give you some encouragement. There is nothing--I repeat, nothing-- concerning sexuality that God can't change. He can fix everything. You just have to remember that this sin/temptation does not define you. It has nothing to do with you as a person. Everyone has curve balls thrown at them by Satan. Some people get struck by one curve ball, others get hit by several, and some manage to duck and avoid nearly all of them. You just have to learn which curve ball to catch and fling back at Satan with all your might. He's not in charge of you...God is. Don't let the attractions, or whatever they are, take over. When temptation comes, run in the other direction like a bear is chasing you. It sounds dumb, but I'm serious.
There is a great expression that goes something like this:
When Satan comes knocking at your door with an armload of temptations, say "Jesus, can you get that for me?"
