    Hello all,

    New here, from the Netherlands.
    I'm a 47 year old male somewhat struggling with himself.
    Not sure whát I am, but pansexual would describe it best I think.

    Oh, with "struggling" I don't mean having trouble accepting it. At least not right now, maybe that will be an issue later of course, but for now I just struggle with the simple fact I've always been with women just because that is more or less what was expected if you know what I mean.

    And only now I'm starting to learn it's about intimacy and daring to be vulnerable, two things I've never known in relationships.

    But it's never too late to learn and change of course, so here I am hoping to learn a lot more about myself :slight_smile:

    Hi there and welcome.

    You will likely find a few EC members have experiences similar to yours who are willing to share what they have learned and how they have approached things. Feel free to post and ask away, share your own experiences. Let us know how we can help. :slight_smile:

    Ludo.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! :old_smile: There are a lot of great people on this website and now there is one more! There is a sub-forum here on EC that is titled "Sexual Orientation". If you post there I think you'll find people who will understand how you feel and will be able to offer support and understanding! :old_rolleyes: You can ask questions in any of the Sub-forums by creating a new thread or by joining in a conversation-thread that is already going. You can also post a message on anyone's Profile Page after you have made at least ten posts yourself. If you have a question that is somewhat private you can always send a Private Message to any Staff Member. Normally Private Messages can only be exchanged between two Full Members, but a PM to a Staff Member is an exception. :old_wink: We are so glad that you have found us here on Empty Closets! :old_big_grin:
    .....David :gay_pride_flag:
