BBC Island: Str8 to Gay

Product Information

My best friend lived with me for a time when we were 14. We shared a room and one day he got out of the shower and walked around the room totally naked and didn't seem to think it was awkward. Later that night when I took a shower I did the same thing. We were both pretty fit for 14 year olds since we both swam competitively. At that point I really realized I was attracted to guys. That night we fooled around and made out and eventually more. I've hooked up with a few guys in between relationships — even friends — since then, but entirely for sex." No sexual orientation test online is 100% reliable and accurate in all situations.

He must have caught me eyeing him because he laughed about it. Then, on the next night of his stay, he purposely made sure I saw it again. The rest is history. I was curious and strangely attracted to him. Only happened once and it is not something we’ve ever talked about.”Sometimes, we realize this because we have sex dreams, sexual thoughts, or feelings of intense attraction toward people of the same gender as us. Sure enough, when he arrived in town, he called. I ended up going to his hotel and we ended up getting it on. Nothing serious. He went down on me and I tried doing the same but wasn’t very good at it. The dude was around my age and we used to chat a lot about cars, sports, and the usual stuff that guys do. It’s part of the reason we became fast friends. It was not until my late 20’s that I learned the nasty secret truth - I was not gay because I experimented with other guys when a pre-teen. I found out that it is actually quite common. :eek: The sense of relief was tremendous. It helped me let go of all that guilt and self-condemnation. I should add that there was also a great deal of getting free of the religious upbringing too so it wasn’t just a single-faceted thing. I doubt he would identify as gay because he was married with a little kid at the time. I’m pretty sure we were both just super curious. Only happened once. I still know the dude.”

The whole thing ended when I joined the Army and got deployed. He has long since moved somewhere else with his family. Fun times. But that was years ago.

In the end, I only ended up spending a year in jail. I’m friendly! I’ll even mildly entertain someone who bothers me but I’m not down for no BS. However, I usually do not bother people when I’m in the gym. If you want, give them space to improve their reaction. By this, I mean that they may have realized their initial reaction was wrong.

It happened a few more times that summer – to the point where all one of us would have to do is say ‘utility room’ and the other guy knew what time it was.

Some of them also have stereotypical beliefs about women’s sexuality and think that if they have extramarital sex with women, the women could become ‘emotionally clingy’ and that it could threaten their marriage. People who live in small towns and rural areas typically consider marriage as an important part of their identity. These men think that sex with men is a lot less complicated with no attachment. I find it particularly interesting and ironic that their conservative beliefs about gender actually encourage them to have sex with men.

This could help you segue into the conversation.I was at a typical high school party in sophomore year and my best friend Matt and I were egging on some girls to make out. They told us that we have to first if we want them to, so being close bros and all, we started to make out. More girls started looking and were actually getting quite turned on so we started getting more into it because we knew if we give it our all we'll get something better after. The reward afterwards was totally worth it! For me it happens spontaneously when stressed. I go through most of my life not even considering gay sex, then I get some kind of stress, usually work-related. Next thing I know I'm literally bumping into guys cruising for sex and I'm almost on gay autopilot. Afterwards I usually feel less stressed but guilty as well."

Both of us became pretty tight, which is what you would expect given how F-ing awful they treat you. We used to hang out a lot and I guess we bonded.

But this vehicle needed a lot of work, so I used to contract with a mechanic who specialized in older models.At 13 I moved to another state with my mother and attended a Christian school. Correction - I attended a fundamentalist non-denominational Christian school. VERY rigid, literalist Christian types. I attended this school from 13 to graduation. During this time, as with everyone, you begin to mature in terms of your sexual identity, etc. My past “experiments” with my guy friends began to really eat at me inside. Social stigma against “being gay” and the addition of Christian condemnation of all things sin added to my anxiety about what had happened and I always wondered “Was I gay?”, “What is wrong with me?”, etc. I lived with a great deal of confusion about what my youthful experiences really meant about myself.
