    So i made this post a few days ago (rather than explaining it all again) http://emptyclosets.com/forum/sexual-romantic-orientation/152090-unsure-confused.html

    The last few days since posting this have been an emotional roller-coaster. The day after posting that she took one look at me first thing in the morning and i just completely broke down in tears. Told her everything that had been going on in my head.

    She was amazing about it. She told me she never really thought i was gay and that bi-sexuality comment was just a joke. We opened up about everything and she was disappointed i hadn't said anything sooner and bit hurt i convinced her so well everything was fine. So i know it'd take her some time to completely trust me again.

    The thing is, just seeing her naked gets me aroused. I love everything about her body even if she doesn't. But i can't deny that when i'm away from her, the thought of gay sex is a turn on. I don't watch porn, i look at girls in the street, occasionally look at guys but the thought of doing stuff with a guy gets me going.

    I'm so confused and i don't want to be in denial and hurt an incredible woman that's given me so much. I want to give her the world but afraid that further down the line i might realize i'm actually gay and feel like i've lied to her. She thinks it's just my OCD and just a fantasy and doesn't even mind if i think about it whilst we have sex, so long as actually love her and don't need to think of a guy to want to have sex with her. And don't have sex with her just to reassure myself (completely understandle)
    I'd agree with the OCD part up until a week ago until i let go of it all and just wanted to see if thinking of it did turn me on.

    I really don't know what to do. I don't want to throw away a perfect relationship and i couldn't ever expect her to keep her door open if i went off to experiment. Sometimes i just want to end it and not hurt her anymore but i know i'm happier with her.

    Any advice is really appreciated.

    Maybe you should just close your eyes, meditate for a minute to calm yourself down, then talk about it with yourself. Build a case, test theories in a manner that respect your relationship, talk to people over different forums. There are tons of ways to resolve this but this way won't help. All you're going to win by going crazy over it is a ditch. Then you'll be stuck and no good to yourself or your wonder woman. So my advice is no more driving yourself mad. :eusa_naug (*hug*) :smilewave

    Then don't.

    So, you're attracted to her and you love her? I don't think you should end the relationship now just because of what "might" happen in the unforeseeable future.

    Love and sex are different things. You obviously love and care for your girlfriend, so I would stay with her. You sound possibly bisexual to me.
