I spent years and years and years vascillating back and forth over my attraction to men. I told myself time and time again that I'm NOT bisexual, and yet, the fantasy persisted. I also spent time off and on even as a member of this site, only to decide to pull my profile. 'That's crazy!' I would say to myself. 'What was I thinking?' Probably a good thing since I wasn't ready anyway.
So at least I've taken the major step and have accepted that I'm bisexual. Actually, when you think about it, probably everybody is. We're just forced at a young age to think of it as dirty, disgusting, sick, gross, sinful, etc. when we are usually right at the age where we as humans would be a lot better off had we been able to discuss all sorts of sexuality and our curiosities openly.
I have yet to have the opportunity to explore the physical aspects of all this with anyone outside of cyberspace, and for now I'll wait for the right opportunity to present itself. I'm just a LOT more comfortable finally at least admitting it to MYSELF, because it has made me more open and accepting of a lot of other people and ideals.

Cheers,

I hear ya, good thread and I know just how you feel. Self identification is a good moment isn't it?

Darlin.....

The MOST important person who needs to be comfortable in your shoes is YOU. It was hard to lace them up, but now that they are on....my don't they feel good? Now all you have to do is walk them around the block and break them in. You may get some blisters....but they will wear away with wear.


Best of Luck.

I know how you feel. It took me a long time to really accept who I was. Even when I knew I had an attraction to women, I would argue the point that gay tendancies were just like alcoholic tendancies... "yes you were born with them but it is your resposibiliy to keep them under control". I was in some serious self loathing, self-denial bullshit. I now reallise that most of those feelings stemmed from religious beliefs that were based on fear rather than love. Congratulations on your coming out even if it is only to yourself. That's the most important step in the process. The rest will come when the time is right. :flag4: Brightest blessings and peace.
