The OFFICIAL Coming Out... Thread

[Terminator X]

I created this thread for the likes of certain, or even not so certain individuals, who wish to discuss their profound interest in communicating their sexual preferences with other people on the Gemstone IV Players' Corner.

Carry on.

[Asha]

I'm straight.
Tried batting for the other team and it didn't flick my switch.

I've fallen in love with guys before, and one I still do.
But you only mentioned sex. So love probably doesn't count in this thread.

[Terminator X]

All my life, I have felt that I couldn't turn to anyone or anywhere in order to voice how painfully frusterated I have become with being a healthy heterosexual in today's oppressive society.

I think about thrusting my god-awful man-tool deep within the confines of evil woman-holes, its corrosive juices burning my very essence another step closer to the devil himself.

Why just the other day, I had my eyes glued to the glutius maximus which belonged to that of the opposite gender. I had to painfully stare at a poster of Brad Pitt's crotch in order to reverse the horrendous damaging evil that constantly lurks deep within the confines of my psyche. It is something that I know makes me, Terminator X, "different." But deep down inside, I know that with the help of impotence-inducing medication and my 10%-off GAP Card, I have the tools that I need to become the correctly functional individual that God has made me out to be.

I dunno, this is a free-for-all I guess.

I think I made this because I was gullible enough in that I actually started to believe what those other two guys had said in the other threads. Heh.

Not that I care, but sometimes I have a hard time taking you seriously.

[Asha]

Since you don't care, just presume I lie 100% of the time.
That's what I'd do in your shoes.

[Shalla]

And what is that supposed to mean?

[Asha]

I honestly care about what 90% of this boards posters have to say.
Their views, beliefs and experiences are all important to me in some way.
I'm just saying, since you don't care, why ask?
Just assume I'm a liar.

[Shalla]

I simply mean't I don't care if you're gay or not. What I do care about is not offending you if assume anything.

[Asha]

Ahh I see.
I don't lie unless it's a silly topic. After I'd posted, you'd know for sure I was kidding around.
Didn't mean to misunderstand you.

[Kainen]

I'm bisexual.. I like men a little more than I like women.. but sometimes, it's not by much.

Thats kind of intresting. Do you not think its possible for straight men to love other men? I mean if you love them and want them sexually but just cant for some reason thats one thing but if you love a friend who happens to be a man then how would that be gay?

[Asha]

It's a good point Delerium.
You know how you feel when you've fallen hopelessly in love with someone. The sleepless nights, jelly stomach, hope of such a wonderful life if only you were with them, ect ect. That's how it's been before with both sexes, and the longest running feeling of that has been for a male.
Call it respect, awe, pride or whatever you like. It's love for me and thank god said person is no longer near me.

Male group showers, high-fiving and drinking kegs doesn't really come into the feelings I've experienced.
:aww:

[Shalla]

I think drayal might be one of those cases when tele-evangelists and other religious groups claim him to be gay and can turn straight by praying to god. When he is in fact straight to begin with, but open-minded enough when under certain complicated circumstances would have feelings for other men. Which I think psychologically for him.. loving does not necessarily equate to sexual attraction.. but more with emotion. Which gives truth to loving no matter what.

Not saying that drayal was part of any religious groups.. but if he was, he would probably be used by them as proof that homosexuality can be "cured".

[Asha]

Haha yah. Thanks.. I think. :lol:

Edited to add:
Shalla that pretty much summed me up completely. Nice shot!

[Edited on 7-17-2005 by Drayal]

[Delirium]

Heh thankfully i havent had to drink kegs with males in a group shower before either.

When you are thinking about a wonderful life with said male what do you think about it? Does sex come up at all? I dont think i could fantasize about a potential love and not think something sexual at least for part of it. If youve had these feelings for him for so long why would it be a relief he is no longer near you? When you say you have "tried" batting for the other team, does that mean youve been with a male before sexually? If so, it wasnt fulfilling? If any of this is to uhhh personal just tell me to shuddup :)

[Asha]

Dude the sexual side of it didn't appeal to me in the first place. But with this person I could think of nothing else. I really wanted to get intimate with him. In the end I got that way with another male, hated the whole affair and decided I couldn't go through it again.
Oddly the feeling of sexual attraction sort of died after that. Just leaving me wishing I could be with the guy I was in love with. Sleep together, be together and be close constantly. It was definately love for me an still is.
He's not apart of my life anymore, and that's good becouse I can move on to something I know I'm 100% comfortable with. Females.
Trust me, I feel far too often that I've let someone I was totally infatuated with, go. We all have to do it sometimes.
I'm 26 years old, and I can tell you that's how I percieve love. If it wasn't love then that's cool, but man, how do I tell the girls I've loved that what I felt for them wasn't love either?

[Delirium]

Sorry if i made it sound like i didnt believe it was love. Sounds like love to me.

I dont think its odd that your sexual attraction died after that. You had a not so good experience to something you wernt comfortable with in the first place. Im sorry it never worked out with the one you really loved as id bet that experience would have turned out better for you.

Moving on, i dont see any problems with just choosing females as that is what you are comfortable with and are more likely to find a satisfying relationship because of that.


When he is in fact straight to begin with, but open-minded enough when under certain complicated circumstances would have feelings for other men. Which I think psychologically for him.. loving does not necessarily equate to sexual attraction.. but more with emotion. Which gives truth to loving no matter what.

I agree, Shalla did seem to hit the nail on the head with this.

Kenn <3 boobies. :D

[Dwarven Empath]

The only suitable time to be Bi is during an orgy. If you dont kiss whats in your face, you probably wont get kissed back.

:aww:

[Shalla]

All of a sudden I'm interested on Drayal's life history. Seems juicy. :!:

[hectomaner]

i'm straight, 100%

just got some heterosexual sex too, 7 minutes ago

You have a good woman, she didn't demand the obligatory cuddling. That or didnt need to much of it.

I have wondered at times if, in the right situation, I might have fun with another woman. But that's it. I really do adore teh johnson.

[OreoElf]

I'm bisexual... I've pretty hard on other bi people cause I'd say at least 75% of them are not truly bi. Some are gay and can't deal with it and others just do it cause its "trendy". Women are often better at kissing than men as well, at least I think so. Both have good/fun points.

[SpunGirl]

I agree, Oreo. I get irritated when women behave sexually with other women solely for attention from guys. It's lame.

[4a6c1]

I like boys and girls. I honestly cant see myself any other way. I've tried one or the other at different times in life and felt restricted and bored. Go figure.

Yep, that was me. For about 6 months to a year I had myself convinced I was bi. Somehow that didn't seem as bad as calling myself "gay." After I got my first boyfriend, it stopped mattering though. ;)

There's a recent study that's been unofficially titled 'Gay, Straight or Lying'. It's pretty interesting though the subject group was too small to really make any definite conclusions. It does though indicate that the subject should probably be studied in more depth.

Also. I've never been able to apply that whole 'homosexual from birth' aspect to myself. Although I agree it is a possibility, the entire perspective confuses me and I dont identify with people who feel that way about their sexuality.

I try to keep politics out of my sexuality in general because the conflicting opinion makes me feel like a monster. For me its an issue of lust. And in some cases power. I've searched myself and I honestly dont believe it goes any deeper than that. I'm only one person. But there ya go.

i'm a lesbian stuck in a mans body

[OreoElf]

True there are very few true bisexuals, but they're out there. I've read the studies... True bisexuals often don't fit in either straight or gay world and are unaccepted in both a lot as well... I make my own way...

[Edited to add] A quote from the gay, straight or lying article...

A new study casts doubt on whether true bisexuality exists, at least in men.

heh heh she said point

[Latrinsorm]

Rieger says that despite the fact that a third of the men in each group showed no significant arousal watching the movies, their lack of response did not change the overall findings. What a terrible study. "These guys who didn't respond to our methods are definitely exactly the same as the ones who did." :rolleyes:

[Asha]

Hah, a wonderful sweeping generalisation.

Actually, that's not what he said at all. What he's saying is that the proportions for each group remain the same so it doesn't throw off the general conclusion. Had one third of only self-professed straight men shown no arousal, it would have changed things a lot.

Given the results though, it might be safe to say that one third of men, whatever their sexuality, do not get aroused by watching porn. Or at least, the type of porn they were being shown. Regardless, it does indicate a need (or at least a reason) for further investigation.

My question then is what the hell is wrong with one third of men?

[Czeska]

Some people are just comfortable with sex in general. They gravitate toward one gender or the other primarily, but can appreciate what the other sex has to offer. These are probably the more "true" bisexuals.

Some people associate sex with pleasure, bonding, love, stress reduction.. all sorts of things, some at different times, even.

I've had friends who declared themselves bi because, basically, they had too many societal/religious/familial pressures against being gay.
