Most people find, the more touching, the better. And not everyone has sex to procreate. Many people just find the act pleasurable. Those that want the pleasure without the procreation use birth control devices.
As for what you're feeling...
Over the course of human evolution, humans have developed physiological reactions to member of the same gender. This is called attraction. Attraction may happen on multiple levels: physical, intellectual, emotional. We are programmed with these responses and they affect us, whether we desire to procreate or not. I think that you are beginning to sense them. Or perhaps, beginning to cease ignoring them.

:::Cora finally peered up at Bard, her head still mostly lowered, still recovering:::
So...my brain is telling me to feel this way? Who is it that I'm looking for? How does one find the person that makes them complete?
:::She was still a little confused, but she was beginning to make the connection...she was after all a very smart girl:::

Cora, if I had the answers to that, I'd be more than just a Romance Novelist.
You feel attraction. Your pulse quickens, you become flushed, your stomach may knot up. You want to be near that person more than anything else.
It sounds very biological. And it is, but there's a level beyond biology, and that's not so easy to explain.
I think when you feel it, you'll know it. It may take you some time, and we all make mistake, but you'll understand it better and better as you experience it.

:::Suddenly Cora's expression, and almost her whole body, sank. She gave herself a moment, and then shook her head:::
People in my world do not experience this. I have no one to share this feeling with.
:::She felt so sad...heartbroken, if she knew the expression:::

*stays in the hallway, just outside the main room and out of hearing range, leaning with her back against the wall as the flush begins to drain from her face*

*Bard sits a moment in thought*
Maybe they don't, but they will learn.
Or perhaps you aren't meant to find someone in your time.
Perhaps that's why you're here.

:::she looked up, perhaps a glimmer of hope lingered:::
You think I might meet this person here? That is, perhaps, why I've been brought here? :::but...who?::: And if I do find this person, how do we stay with one another...? We'd be from different worlds...
:::She still had so many questions, most of which she didn't have words enough to ask:::

Oh...goodness! That did not sound very friendly.
:::She watched Maggie disappear in the direction of the bang, and did not hesitate a moment to run after her:::
