    I am also married (over 30 years) and Out (for several years)to my wife and a few friends. I do love my wife and enjoy being a husband and father. We have a great relationship . Lately though my feelings to have a relationship with a man have grown more intense. I have a need to explore these desires more fully. We have friends of ours , another couple, where the husband came out to the wife. They have since divorced, he met a man fell in love and married . This has both inspired me and scared me at the same time.

    Gayhusband....I can understand how the desire to be with a guy can be very hard to deal with. I am dealing with that problem by, as another poster so politely put it, being "autosexual". This works very well for me, but in no way would I insist that it is a solution to anyone else's problem. I do so hope you can find a way to work out the difficulties that you are facing. ....David

    Hi I'm reading this thread with interest and was wondering if you could tell me what autosexual means. Sorry but I have no idea.

    I'm not familiar with the original post, but I'd guess at masturbation. Might be wrong...

    Yes - I'm the poster who used the term in a different thread as an adjective (and not as a label) to describe sexual expression through self-gratification because it seemed more polite/appropriate than masturbatory.

    Hello All....I rather like the term "autosexual". I have made the comment on another thread that I no longer think of it as masturbation. To me it is sex and it is better than anything I ever had before. ...David
