    For the last 10 years or so, I have gone back and forth on whether or not I could be "bisexual" or curious about sexual acts with guys. I have often fantasized about going down on a guy, and look at porn that includes those types of sex acts as well. I have never had an actual experience with a man, but am extremely curious about the act of giving oral sex. However, I am married to an amazing woman, who grew up conservatively and isnt as open minded as I would like. Shes not homophobic, but doesnt have much exposure to these types of things. Recently, my urges to experiment have gotten intense, and frequent. I find myself talking to quite a few female friends, and even family members about my situation in regard to my sexual orientation. I really want to tell my wife, but I am scared beyond belief that she will not understand, and freak out on me. To be quite honest, the fact that I have never had an actual experience sexually may not mean I am bisexual, but I do know that the urge to give oral sex is intense. It seems as though I can talk to everyone but her abotu this, and it has recently came back to bite me, as a couple of her siblings had people tell them I was questioning them in regard to how i came off sexual orientation wise. How do I tell my wife i have fantasies about men? Is there a way to somehow "gauge" her reaction, to see how she might react..or if she currently suspects anything? it should also be noted that I get teased all the time, and have been teased all my life because people think i am gay, or have those tendencies. The following incident happened over a year ago. so i look at the craigslist casual encounters section..alot. never respond to any ads or anything..but i like looking at the couples looking for men section.i search bi couples alot. anyways, about 8 months ago..i left it up on the browser. she saw it. asked me about it that night, and was like why were you on that site? i freaked out immediately and told her it was a pop up, and that i didnt go there on purpose. shes like bull, i clicked back..and saw the pages you looked at. she then asked if i was curious about what type of people posted on there, thats what i told her i mean. she then flat out asks..you arent gay are you? i say no immediately and shes like, then its not a huge deal, just dont lie to me about it.[br>[br>Ultimately, what I would like out of this entire situation is acceptance. My end goal is her accepting this part of me. I have really hated myself for the last how many years because of these urges. I look at a man, and immediately think of how nice his penis might look , or taste..or feel inside of me. Up until lately, the urges were just for the penis..but now..they are towards a certain guy. They have grown in a sense. I get very nervous and anxious around him, not to mention very aroused. Problem is, he is the husband of my wifes best friend. The other reason I want to know what she thinks is because every now and then, she will make little jokes, or comments that indicate to me she suspects something at the very least. She will randomly ask me if I am gay, and play it off as a joke..then when I ask her if she thinks I am, she says Cant you take a joke, I am just giving you a hard time.

    I honestly wish i knew exactly what my wife suspected/thought already..that way I think I could approach it better with her. If she does suspect something, then she is really good at hiding it because the times shes made jokes, i will ask her if she thinks i like men or something and immediately she says no.[br>[br>Another issue i am facing is i have talked to quite a few people. Her couple good friends know, which got to her sisters. The sisters said they wouldnt say anything and didnt want to get involved..but part of me wonders if someone will before i get a chance to talk to her. [br>[br>Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get more of an accurate read on her suspicions before I fully tell her?

    We have kind of talked about it, my wife and i. But it was over electronic means of communication.

    I am finding out who my true friends are with all of this, as a few of my guy friends wont even talk to me anymore. Was I wrong by talking to so many female friends?

    The wife and I have discussed it somewhat, over IM and such while I was at work. She basically told me that unless I would ever leave her for a guy, why make a big deal about it, or discuss it? Advice pleasE!

    My wife and I have an OK sex life. It doesnt happen very often, and is often quite boring when it does.

    I am pretty close with one of her female friends, and we recently discussed things..and she thinks i am trapped in my marriage, and she believed I was gay from the first day she met me. Am i in denial?

    I saw your message, and I would LOVE to help. I just hope I can...

    Your situation does indeed sound very complicated and frustrating. Your urge to try oral on a man might be something you need to actually try to be able to know what your orientation is. Im not condoning cheating--but it does sound like something that could torture you if you dont try it. Only then will you completely know.

    I really dont think 'unless you leave me for a guy' is the right thing to say on her part. How different would it be if you left her for a woman? I had my exboyfriend, when we broke up, tell me to not go after girls. But what will that change?

    Also, I wouldnt say youre in denial. I would say youre confused, and frustrated. When you and your wife have sex, how often does she give you oral?

    Well, to be honest..she stopped shortly after we were married 5 years ago. I dont want to sound cocky or anything..but she said it hurts her jaw too much because i am bigger than average down there.

    It is frustrating, extremely in fact. When I watch porn or see a hot guy, all i can think of is what hes packing down there and how he might taste. I mean, literally. Its horrible.

    To add to my last post..it is kind of a torture, but i think the guilt of cheating on her would be far worse.

    Hm. :< Well, that may add to it.

    I *really* dont want to condone cheating. And Im sure someone else will slap me. But it really sounds like if you dont 'try' it, you wont know. It isnt fair for you or your wife for you to be feeling like this.

    It does sound like she knows something is up, but is confident that you wont do anything about it. Thats probably why she makes the jokes. ....I hate those jokes, and theres nothing wrong with being offended by one :/

    They really dont offend me too much, I guess I just want to know if she indeed thinks I am bisexual. What has been bothering me is that her best friend, who i am close with..told me she thought I was completely gay from the day she met me. I have also alienated myself with female friends in the past by feeling the need to seek out advice on this. Was i wrong for doing so?

    No way! Girls understand it better imo. I think you might think you're bi because youre married to a woman. Its really not uncommon. If your friend's gaydar is going off on you, chances are shes right. Are you still physically attracted to your wife?

    Yes, i am. I mean..our sex life is pretty vanilla..but yea i am. I am still into women in general if you are wondering. Yea, I flat out asked her if she ever thought i was totally gay and shouldnt be with my wife. She said that in the beginning she thought i was totally gay. Not bisexual, but gay. She said she got the vibe even more when i drank. I had to ask her a few times before I could get her to be honest with me.

    Hmmm... Well, I dont think you should fret about bisexual-or-gay, but more about how you feel about guys in general. I sure hope someone else can give better advice, I feel useless :c

    I mean her husband thought the same thing when he met me. Its just freaky i guess. She knows me well, and it makes me wonder how many others think the same thing..and if my wife thinks that. ya know?

    Well, the urges arent so bad when my wife is home from work and we are together, but when shes away..i do watch porn often. bi porn. sometimes i practice oral sex on sex toys, and occasionally try to on myself. Is that TMI?

    What has really backfired though, the amount of people ive asked about it for advice. Like, more people know that i want..including both her sisters and a few cousins etc. Her best friend from college knows, or rather i asked her about it. Her and her husband were in our wedding, and now the hubby wont speak to me.

    Naw, I dont mind, Its just more to get off your chest I suppose, and I can understand.

    But the reason youve told so many people is because you arent telling the ONE PERSON you WANT to tell. I have totally been in that situation. I think it makes it easier to get it over with if youve talked to enough people. It always gives me courage.

    Yea, i think you are right. I mean, her and I have spoken somewhat..but it was over text and facebook when I was at work. Do you agree with her best friend..are signs pointing to homosexuality?

    ---------- Post added 5th Aug 2013 at 03:11 AM ----------

    To add to your question..when i drink, apparently that side comes out more..i had multiple people ask me things after a family get together a couple months ago. lol

    In truth, it sounds like her friend could be right.

    (also, sorry for the late replies, Im distracted with other things XD)

    Although like I was saying before, you wont know until you actually try, but it sounds like you could be bi, with a strong feeling toward men.

    No worries for the late replies. Do you have a messenger we could chat on or anything?

    Yea, I want to try it..but the guilt would eat me alive i think. Do you think women are able to spot a gay or bi man pretty easily?

    Well considering its 2:30 where I am, I will be headed to bed relatively soon. But I think we can still talk in private messages ^^

    Also, I find that women and gay men usually have a pretty keen gaydar. Mine, however, is absolutely useless. :/ Ive realized that after about 8 years of insisting a friend isnt gay, and then suddenly is. Whereas my girlfriends are always saying "Its so obvious, you couldnt tell?" -sigh- heh
