    I totally agree haha! If God does have a plan than we are very much apart of it. I kind of view it as a spectrum. There’s extreme feminism to extreme masculinity and then there’s everything in between. Maybe not but I do like Ru Paul’s quote, something like, “we are born naked, everything else is drag!”

    Sorry for the delayed reply to your question. Since this encounter I have been with one other guy. Met him over St Patty’s weekend, when we talked, flirted and touched, and agreed to go out later that week. We had dinner Wednesday (more touching, night ended with a kiss, no sex) after which I had butterflies about him (no shame though!) until our movie date Saturday which ended Sunday when we woke together in his bed. Instead of shame about the sex, I felt something new — OMG I like him — followed by a week of OMFG what’s next — followed by dinner tonight and more plans Friday. The OMGOMFG feeling has not gone away. Keeping it in perspective but you know what you guys? I like him.

    Wow, I can really relate to many of you in this thread (x-wife & kids) and having a hard time accepting my feelings (brought up in ultra conservative home (sex was never mentioned), guilt due to religion, which of course led down the failed "pray the gay away " path). I've struggling with the "flawed as a person" notion and felt like my feelings were more of a "curse" that I couldn't escape....

    This is fantastic! I know that feeling well. I am over two years into my relationship with my BF and every day I have that OMFG feeling. Can’t believe it could any better. Enjoy my friend.

    This thread is fascinating. I feel engaged with where I can go from here. Like I'm hetero (I'm like a Trans woman well gender fluid) but I want to experiment but am so nervous about doing it with a man. Albeit in my Trans iteration. Clearly it relates to many of us and I'm not alone.
    PS cut and pasted this reply to my notes and then it popped up here again so I thought what the h*ll I'll post. Just to say I like that facility - it encourages we snowflakes to post.

    Not trans, but I'm really nervous about doing it with a guy, too, really REALLY nervous, but hopeful, too.

    I can really relate to what you have said. It doesn't go away, though. And the feelings keep getting harder and harder to suppress.
