Hi New here, questioning my sexuality, lately I've been attracted more toward men so I'm exploring why is that, looked online and found this forum, hopefully I'll find some answers here. Thank you
Hi Mexem, Welcome aboard. I'm new here, also, and also recently found myself attracted to men too. How are you finding it so far? Are you thinking of meeting and dating bi/gay men or are you simply looking to explore your thoughts more? I hope you find the answers you're looking for, anyway. Best wishes and I hope you're having a nice day.
That's a good place to start. I'm in the same situation and usually around if you have any questions or want to chat about it.
Mexem.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that night that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) when that becomes necessary! In particular you may want to check out the forum that is titled "Sexual Orientation”, there are people there who have dealt with some of the same kind of issues that could be challenging you. *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. Some info on how to navigate EC: When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now, you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership. *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! If you have any questions at all, you can always send me a Private Message. .....David
Welcome to Empty Closets. It's great to have you here. I've met a lot of wonderful people so far, so you'll be making friends in no time.
Yes and no, I'm religious person and cant act upon such feelings it is forbidden so I mostly talk to people online.
i was raised catholic and recently became agnostic, and thinking back i remember being attracted to other men and simply pushing those feelings down or ignoring/denying them to please my god, have u ever found yourself doing that too? also if its not too personal can i ask what religion you practice?
I'm also a struggling Christian. Nice to meet you. How has your journey been going since posting this thread a month ago?
Welcome, Mexem! I'm married and Christian as well as gay. Regardless of where your questioning leads you to you don't have to leave your faith in Christ. Remember that He has not left you. There are a great many Christians that are gay, straight, or bi and questioning.. Many of us on this forum have struggled with what we perceive as a conflict. Remember that sexuality is an earthly thing and will stop at the end of our lives. In heaven there is no straight, gay, or bi.
