Good day, all. I so appreciate this forum and the experiences, opinions, and support others have shared with me. Thanks, everyone. I am particularly eager to hear from folks exploring/expanding/changing their sexuality or gender identities and expressions while in their 50's and later. Anybody out there? I have moved through the world (mostly) as a male identified but internally/privately queer individual in hetero relationships most of my life. The past decade, however, cracks in my identities and expression have developed and grown. I feel very positive about my growth and embracing strong same sex attraction and desires and a desire/need to transition to an expanded gender identity and expression. I am avoiding fixed labels for myself because it feels like that thinking is what I want to move beyond. Hope to hear from you.
I settled my gender quite a few years ago. For many years I used the label lesbian and greysexual but recent developments have made me realize that I am most likely demisexual and panromantic.
I was in my mid-40s before I embraced my sexuality. I am married and camr out to my eife at 55 yo. I am most comfortable with the "label" of being gay. In my case, this is a true reflection of who I am and who I want to be.
I don't label myself but my long term girlfriend had brought out my other side. While she is straight I enjoy sex and company of both sexes. We both enjoy males at times together and seperately.
