pretty weird that you think age will determine your 'preference' - not old enough to know yet

its not like its a time thing... or even an experience thing!

unless you're like 6... in which case kids... get off this site. and all sites. go and play with your pinwheels and skipping ropes. or gi. joes and monster trucks. whatever tickles your fancy.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how many gay/bi males there are on Neowin; especially certain members who I would never have guessed weren't straight ;) But that's the problem with society: people (me included) automatically assume a person is straight unless they have reason to believe not to :(

I'm still unsure about my sexuality, until I've tried it properly with a guy...

I know I definitely like love women - I just find them so sexy & get so turned on by lesbians (the fit lesbians in porn lol), etc. But... I also sometimes have fantasies about guys & doing gay things. E.g. I was attracted to one of my best friends.

I came out as "unsure" during the second year of Sixth Form which everyone in the whole school found out about. I wasn't bullied or didn't have the **** taken out of me by anyone, although I got a lot of questions from people lol.

The only problem was, I know some of my friends felt uncomfortable around me - especially when my friend found out I was attracted to him (although I'm still sure to this day, from signs I've noticed & things he's said, he's in denial about his sexuality).

So, because I kept changing my mind about whether I was straight or bi & because I knew my friendship would never be the same again with this guy I liked (he was so uncomfortable around me & I wanted to stay best friends because he's such a legend), I decided to 'go back in' the closet, lol, & tell them I had a gay experience where I realised I didn't like it :/

So, basically, what I'm saying in this essay of a post is that I'm still unsure as to whether I am bi or straight, & everyone out there thinks I'm straight :/ I hate lying & never do, but it's hard when it's about sexuality because society can be very homophobic at times. My friends at Uni & back home are all straight (& some slightly homophobic), it is very hard to 'come out' & let everyone know your feelings in a society like that...

I imagine it is the same for a lot of guys out there who go through life hiding their feelings for other guys. Some can do that because they like women a lot too (like me), but I know it's only a matter of time before I decide & let everyone know (when I am 100% sure). I just wish all other guys would.

Sorry for the long post by the way...

Actually, I've decided, since actually having sex with a girl last night, for the first time ( :blush: ) and also thinking about my horrible experiences with a guy (even though it wasn't the full way). I've decided I am definately straight now.

So I am: A male who likes the femalesss! :)

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
