    Ok, well not exactly. I was kinda a "late bloomer" regarding any real expressions about sexuality. I don't know, but lately I've been feeling that combination of excited/scared/fascinated etc that feels just like what I was told we'd feel like from sex ed class, but I never quite did.

    Anyone else?

    Hey CyclingFan I'm happy for your new found joy of exploring your sexuality. I can understand those feelings and look forward to the day when I am where you are today.

    In terms of gay sexuality, you are 14 again. Enjoy your "second childhood". :eusa_danc

    I mentioned to my therapist that I felt like I was going through puberty at 30. She said coming out kind of is like a second puberty for many people as you're open to and discovering all kinds of new desires and emotions. So nope, it's not just you :slight_smile:

    Totally agree with this. Trying to learn to accept the feelings that I feel. It's both scary, sometimes really scary, and exhilarating. It feels weird sometimes though. Haha!

    I am a late "comer" yet I dont feel exactly that way. Feels like a feel less and less each time. Like the smell of coffee that "disappears".

    I absolutely know what you mean. It's like this teenager inside me has woken up.
