And I thought that was adorable, and sensible, and kind of romantic. While some men may both have the strength of character and also the front — and it takes plenty of that, be under no illusion — to reject these labels and still be open, it should be said that labels can sometimes facilitate this. All the time, and not too far away from us, LGBT people are fighting for the right to call themselves LGBT, but for your right to define yourself however you choose — gay, straight, fluid, curious.
Just as out gay men have a duty to protect themselves from others forcing their own will upon them, maybe those refusing to conform should acknowledge their sacrifice and honour them by supporting the gay and bi brothers who keep their secrets.

While everyone elses attitude including my own always seemed fundamentally flawed. In your case I guess you just have not met the right person at the right time yet. Which puts you in the same catagory as myself and a fair few million others. Just hang out with people you like, spend time with people that make you happy to spend time with and if with one of those people something "clicks", consider pursuing something more intimate The thing is, you already possess something that a lot of single people don't already have.
Confidence in your own skin, and people are drawn to this characteristic without you having to put forth any real effort. I must say it's refreshing to see someone writing about not having a life of trauma, but I do 'confusion' as well so you're in luck!

Becoming a parent has been a topic I've mulled over for the last few years, and whilst it would be an amazing experience to become a parent, it's not a must for me. This question of where I sit on the sexuality spectrum has caused much confusion and paralysis over the years. I've had up to 5 years at a time where I've not dated or had sex with anyone as I had just shut that part of myself down. It was easier that way. I have decided now that it's time to move on this, ready or not. When will one ever be ready for anything?

I hadn't thought of seeing a sex therapist actually. I had seen a counsellor and a psychologist when I was younger which helped me sort through some other matters but couldn't really help me navigate this one. I will definitely look into that. Surely there is more to understanding a person than which gender they prefer to have sex with.

But Diamond and other researchers have compiled numerous case studies of gay men who spent years feeling and acting fully and comfortably homosexual, only then to fall unexpectedly in love with a heterosexual woman. Recently, I interviewed two people who went through this sexual upheaval late in life themselves. Both said they had never even considered falling in love with someone of the same — or opposite — gender until they reached their 50s or 60s.
Only at that relatively late stage in life did they undergo startling degree turns in their sexual orientation. While the facts of each case are accurate, I've used pseudonyms at the subjects' request. Violet — a tall, striking woman of 60 with snow-white hair — had never married, but she had enjoyed major love affairs with men.
Intensely dedicated to her career, she became a TV executive at age After her last relationship with a man ended in her 40s, Violet says she "gave up on love. A marketing expert, Susan was in a pleasant but not passionate heterosexual marriage at the time.
Why Can't We Accept Straight Men Who Have Gay Sex?
She valued her extended family — husband, two children and their spouses, and four grandchildren — more than anything else. Susan had never been unfaithful. She had never been attracted to another woman. But from the moment she and Violet began working together on a project, sparks flew, shocking both women.
A physical relationship of 12 years ensued. When Violet finally admitted to herself that the two women would never enjoy a fully realized partnership, she ended the relationship. Susan's husband knew about his wife's involvement and tolerated it, but neither he nor Susan was willing to jeopardize their close-knit family relations. Violet loved Susan with all her heart, but she did not define herself as gay in the wake of the affair — nor has she become involved in another same-sex relationship since.
Her "sexual turnaround" applied to Susan and Susan alone. Ned had been gay his entire adult life. Though he had a few sexual relationships with women in high school, he never thought of himself as heterosexual or even bisexual: Ned liked women, but he loved men. When he was 29, Ned fell deeply in love with Gerry, a man 10 years older. They remained a couple for 23 years, which included getting married in , the year California first permitted same-sex unions. Like most spouses, Ned and Gerry had their ups and downs, but they always considered their marriage rock-solid.
