Default Greetings! first time here

Hi everybody,

It's my first time here.. I found this site through Google and I was glad to find a supportive community forum. You guys seem to have a lot of knowledge, and are able to help each other out.. which is a good thing!

As for me.. my bi'ness gets confusing if I think about it.

I typically only feel anything (get crushes, romantic feelings) for guys.. and I'm sexually attracted to them.

I may be sexually attracted to girls, but I don't typically get crushes on them.. or become interested in knowing them on anything beyond the friendship level. Even when I try to think I'm just not into girls at all, I'll watch lesbian porn or something.. and it'll remind me that I am..

I wish sexuality were something we could put in a box and stick a label to, but seems it's just not the case!

Oh well, it's nice to meet you all! I'll get to know everyone better as I post more!!

Hi! Welcome to EC

Yes it's bad sexuality cannot be labelled easily...but I guess that's what makes life fun!

I totally agree with you on the label thing, but alas, nothing is that straightforward.

Hello! I hope we are able to help you. It is really sad sexuality isn't so easy to label... would make things a lot easier if it were.

Hello, welcome!

No, sexuality doesn't have to be lots of boxes that you put yourself in. It's fluid! It's amazing! Embrace it!
