    Hi everyone,
    I am glad to be here on the forums. I grew up gay. I was not attracted to the women at all, and very attracted to men. Now, I am 26-years-old, and I think that I am ex-gay because I am now attracted women and not really attracted to men. I am kind of afraid of coming out because I hope that people will understand that this is just the way my story is going and everyone is different. It just happened. I appreciate any support.

    Hi, Ryan, and welcome!

    Is this something you want to explore and gain more understanding about, or is it something where you feel confident in your current assessment?

    Yes I think so :slight_smile: But I have never kissed a woman but I have always liked the lesbian/bi characters from many series haha and also, I usually get attracted to foreign women, however I only dated men. First I thought it might was phase or something but then later I donĀ“t know anymore.
