    I've recently discovered that most of my frustration about my bisexuality comes from not being able to be open about it. The only person who knows about my sexual orientation is my brother, who is very accepting about it. So far, I'm only confortable with him knowing and no one else. However, I feel as though my only relief to my frustration is being able to talk about guys I find attractive and acting like myself. Even though that my brother, who is heterosexual, says that he doesn't mind me talking to him about it, I feel as though it wouldn't be right. Should I go ahead and be open about it with him or should I wait until I can be open with someone who has an attraction towards guys?

    I don't think it's wrong if he sais he doesn't mind. Just tell him that " if I am making you feel uncomfortable just tell me and we can talk about something else. You allways have your friends on ec who you can talk to

    If he is willing to talk to you about it, I would certainly talk to him. Maybe leave out all the juicy details of how unbelievably beautiful the center of your attention is without his shirt on. :slight_smile: Odds are he might have advice that can help you. relationship advice can easily be used for both sides. And I don't think gay relationships are too very different from straight relationships when it comes to respect, love and such.. And then come on EC and tell us all the juicy details if he isn't any help. :slight_smile:

    You should go for it, if he's understanding. All of my friends are straight girls and we talk about 'hot' people all the time even though we like different genders; no one minds and we can give each other advice.

    My straight brother was so accepting of me that I am willing to talk to him about that kind of stuff. It has only strengthened our relationship. I feel so much closer to him now. I found out once upon a time that he saved my bacon and deleted a gay porn site on my dad's computer after I had used it. He was nice enough not to tell on me during that time even though I was being a moron to him at the time.

    He's into MMA and asked me if I didn't watch it before coming out to him because I was in denial and attracted to the guys. I just said, "No, I am just not into it." He was like, "It is kind of a gay sport if you think about it, that's why I thought you might like it." I laughed, "Yeah, no." He told me about a female crush he had at college, then I told him in high school I had a crush on a guy in his class. He didn't freak out.
