    I was just wondering if you tell others, like your family or your friends, about EC?

    No one else that i know, knows about me goin on here, but thats cos im still in the closet with most ppl...but even the people who Im out to dont know...i think its cos i share things here about them that i wouldnt want them to know...like saying that i think Andrew's (my friend's) butt is the nicest thing araound

    Anyway, back to the topic, does your family know about this forum and your contributions, or is it something that you keep personal?

    *Sorry if i put this iin the wrong area, mods, just move it if you you think its better suited to Chit Chat*

    Aside from people I met on here, I think I've mentioned the forum but not by name to a few friends. Family doesn't know, because I don't really talk to my family...

    My sis, my mom, my exes, and my therapist know. They could care less though. I hear a lot of interesting stuff on here that I like to share with my family such as things going on about gay rights, new ideas, and basically anything else that I interesting. my therapist asked me why I was going on a gay and lesbian site. I'm like cause I'm gay, did you not listen while I talked about my relationships with girls??? But I don't mind telling other people because they know I'm gay already.

    AWW Becky, you should get him to join. I think it would be good for those of us too scared to talk to our families. Maybe some people would benefit from seeing that kind of open relationship. :shrug:

    The only person that I have told so far is my therapist. Actually he did not know anything about it. I am glad that I said something because he is now able to provide information about EC to other people.
