    Okay so some advice from you amazing people would be appreciated... I hope this is the right forum.

    I am in a relationship with the woman of my dreams but I need to tell her something.... that I am bI curious.

    So I have never gone "all the way" with another male, just touching and oral etc, but I fantasise about it a bit. Although we have a very healthy and enjoyable sex life together and are very open about pretty much everything, this is one exception. I feel that if we are to continue to grow together I should tell her about this side of me. I guess I am worried a fair bit about her reaction and the possible consequences, even though she really has given me no reason to be.

    Any advice on how to go about discussing it with her would be appreciated. I want to be 100% honest but this is something I do not know how to approach.

    Thank you in advance.

    That sounds really hard! Is she generally open about LGBTQ topics? Has it ever come up before? Sometimes just waiting for the "right moment" can be helpful .. e.g., a discussion about sex and then mentioning it in that context.

    Yeah she is open about all things. Happy to discuss pretty much everything so far in our relationship. She is aware that before we got together I had an experience (oral and touching) with another man, that took months to tell her, butI have never said anything else about it.

    Thanks for the advice all of you.

    I guess she must be probably aware already that you are bi-curious, so this should not be a big deal for her.

    I think that a different thing comes to play in this coming-out. Maybe what is interresting and important for her at this point will not be if you are (still?) bi-curious but if your curiosity develops into something stronger that will lead you to act on it, ie, want to quit her for a male or try some sort of open relationship because of that. I surely don't know your girlfriend as You know her, but I guess If I was her, that would surely be on my mind.
