I’m new to all this, found this forum last night and really found it helpful. Not sure where this is all headed but this seems like the place to get some advice or answers
Hi there and welcome to the community! Glad you are finding it helpful. Feel free to ask questions, seek support and share experiences.
Seeker.....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! *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation.

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 post a question on my Profile Page or send me a Private Message. .....David
Thanks everyone I’ll get more into my story in next few days as I have a chaotic lifestyle but long and short is I go through a phase a few years where I question sexuality and lately I don’t know where my head and heart is at….film at 11
Ok, a little on my background. Hitting that mid life crisis phase of my life. I’m happily married to my wife of 20 years. We are each other’s best friends and love each other very much. And I have no plans of having an affair with someone half my age, buying a sports car or anything like that. While I’ve always thought of myself as straight as I said before there have been times I’ve wondered if that’s really the case or not and barely stuck my toe into unfamiliar waters years before marriage or dating whether it was talking to people in LGBT chat rooms back in the days of AOL and once going by myself to a gay bar just to see what happened. (What happened was I scurried out in fear after noticing someone I knew before they noticed me. I go through these phases where the thought of just experiencing some level of intimacy with a man really sounds like something I need to do, but the urges tend to fade after a few weeks only to return in the next 5-6 years. Lately though I’ve noticed this interest in the same sex starting to grow a little more and lasting longer than before and curiosity is growing . Maybe it’s just a curiosity or something deeper, but I feel my eyes are a lot wider these days.
