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! :)
