    Hi all, im 21 and always thought i was hetero, until a few years ago i was interested in older men. I never did something with it until a few weeks ago when i had my first experience with an older man. Since then im confused. Im sure im not mentally attracted to men, always had and have a lot of male friends and never felt some kind of attraction (psychically or mentally) to one of them. Mentally i am interested and attracted in women, but i enjoyed the gay sex more than sexual experiences with women. So what am i? I think just bisexual, but the “bi” part only sexually because i think i can never be in a relationship with a male.

    Besides that, im a lot more attracted to gay porn than lesbian or hetero porn. Sometimes i do not even get an erection when watching hetero porn, while watching gay porn this is never a problem..

    Bram.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! :old_smile: I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that night that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) :old_big_grin: when that becomes necessary!

    *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. When I first joined Empty Closets I was in need of a lot of support and encouragement and I found it here…EC is a safe place. I hope that you'll find good things here too! Folks here will talk to you and share...you don't have to be afraid of asking questions...we're glad to have you! Empty Closets is all about making connections and giving LGBT folks a voice when they otherwise don't have one in their day-to-day lives. In particular you may want to check out the forum that is titled "Sexual Orientation”, there are people there who may have dealt with some of the same kind of issues that could be challenging you. There are very few people who are 100% gay or 100% straight. The idea of being a "little bit" bi is certainly a possibility. The sexuality of some people can also "shift" a little bit. We're not talking about a complete straight to gay or anything like that, but what you describe is not overly unusual. Human sexuality is quite a bit more complicated than just plain male or female, etc. :old_smile:

    Some info on how to navigate EC:
    When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: :old_cool:

    *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership.

    *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! :old_rolleyes: If you have any questions at all, you can always send me a Private Message.
