    Hi I’ve just joined the forum.

    I’ve always thought I was bisexual, but it seems as the years have gone by, I’ve gone more and more towards attraction for women. I can now at middle age safely say I’m lesbian.

    So here I am and I feel like I’ve come out all over again.

    Jo

    Congratulations on your progress and coming out again. :slight_smile:

    Has everyone that you’ve told (if you have) been supportive?

    Yes they really have. I think they guessed already anyway.

    I’m that obvious :grin:

    Welcome Jo. After years of being straight with an on and off fascination towards loving women I've recently started to pursue this fascination and make some of my fantasies reality. It's scary, exciting and I would say ultimately a terrifying(but at times in a good way) situation. Sometimes especially when you're older you have a lot more questions especially when it comes to women's health and intimacy especially first time intimacy with a member of the same sex. Have you found that? Or no? I'm learning I sometimes have a lot of questions that I don't always get answers to either. But it's a strange beautiful, wonderous journey that makes your heart race, and your palms sweat. Congratulations on your reintroduction to the world, and welcome to Empty closets. I'm too am coming back after an indefinate hiatus because I didn't know or wasn't sure what I really wanted in terms of Intimacy and companionship in my life. But if you want to talk to more I'm always available. The world could use more friends.
