    Single Dad in my 30s. Been questioning since I can remember. I don't meet the general stereotypes of the LGBT community by a long shot and don't feel I'd fit in. What I'd love to do is chat with and eventually meet someone somewhat similar to me but I don't know where to start or look as its obviously hard to do when both parties would be deep in the closet; any advice would be great. Thanks

    Hello and welcome! I’m a bit new here as well, having recently come to the realization that I’m gay. I would also say that I don’t fit many of the well known gay stereotypes, but like you I’m not sure where to meet similar men, so I will be all ears to any suggestions other members have.

    Hey! I'm also kind of new, and I'd also been questioning forever. Finally I figured myself out, but it takes a while. Hope you find out your identity!

    So far I've come to the realization that I can emotionally be involved with women but sexually struggle...and I feel it is the opposite with men.

    Im a mix of both. I'm more romantically attracted to men, but I'm equally attracted to both sexually.

    Anything above and beyond sex.....social aspects of typical relationships, snuggling, kissing in public...etc.

    After I finally admitted to myself that I’m gay I was struck by how sensual and erotic I found images of men just kissing and holding one another. I’ve always found watching gay sex hot, but once I allowed myself the space to own my identity the thought and sight of men just loving one another was breathtaking.

    Have you ever had sex with a man?

    I haven't.....I'm assuming it was everything you hoped it would be?
