    My mom and sister knows about it. They keep a close eye on me when I do go on this site, unfortunately.

    I live by myself. No one knows I post here. Also, since I came on for the general sexuality and Later in Life areas, for the most part, I wouldn't exactly broadcast that I'm on here because I wound up posting in Chit-Chat quite a bit.

    I think my sister might have seen me viewing this site while I was at her place.
    So.. One person?

    No one knows and I wouldn't mention it to anyone at this point. However, when I do come out, I would suggest the site to people who are seeking advice related to all of this.

    My ex knows, and gave me tons of grief over it before we split up. My kids know. And that's about it.

    My little sister knows because she never leaves me alone.
    My dad knows because he likes to snoop through my Internet history.
    My mom knows because I once didn't realize she was standing directly behind me.
    My best friend knows because I mentioned it to her once.

    So four people.

    Really interesting question, I often wonder about this. I guess I kind of figured most people do it in secret. I am out as questioning to many friends but I wouldn't want them to know since I post a lot of personal stuff on here.

    Nobody. My sisters could know and wouldn't care, as I'm out to them, but my online life is my business unless I let them in.

    My ex boyfriend and two best friends know. Then my friends made accounts!

    I don't care if people know. I'm an open book about all my business.

    I've watched this thread from the very beginning.

    No matter how many people voted ;those with no one knowing , whether intentionally or not, hovered at around 50%.

    Nobody and I'm happy with that - cool to have a place without the people from your 'real life'. For that there are enough other online communities and opportunities outside the internet. But some people know that I'm active on a LBGT+ side and that should be enough :wink:

    At the time I'm writing this post 58% of the 99 votes said that no one knows that members are here on EC.

    Fairly consistent.

    Not a sole knows, not even my dog. Someday the time will come when I will not have to hide. Someday the sun will shine through and expose the beauty from within. Not quite there yet, damn fear.
