    Hi! I wonder what your experiences are when it comes to talking about same sex attraction with straight friends? I often feel that some are uncomfortable talking about it, and that makes me a bit down. I want to have open conversations about this, because it´s a part of who I am!

    Wales... unfortunately
    They normally have no interest about it or get a bit uncomfortable about it yet sometimes they seem interested which I enjoy but being the center of attention isn't really enjoyable for me...

    Ok, no I guess they are not that interrested.
    I also find it a bit uncomfortable being in the center sometimes. Depends on the people I have around me.

    Two of my female friends have 'girl crushes' despite being straight, so I can fairly comfortably talk about it with them... They don't suspect a thing mwahahaaa :slight_smile:

    From my experiences from one person, yes they're interested, but they just don't really understand.

    I really don't talk about my same sex attractions with just anyone because I don't feel they understand. I do talk with my best friend about things but her sister is a lesbian so i think that is why I feel more comfortable talking to her. And she doesn't judge me. At all. That part is important to me. Too many people are quick to judge and I think that is why I hesitate. But the EC community is here for you and you can talk to us. I am always here if you ever need an ear, I would be more than happy to chat :slight_smile:

    Don't have all that many friends, so... here's a few:

    Friend One - Dude is not even a friend, he's mentally ill and constantly comments about how he wants to have sexual intercorse with random girls he sees on the street. Every time i even mention something remotely LGBT related, he quickly starts showing disgust.

    Friend Two - A good friend, whom i share a lot with, being open and understanding, yet showing slight signs (he does do his best to hide them) of disgust.

    Friend Three - Was okay at first, even very helpful and understanding, then 2-3 outings later and we don't even speak for whatever reason. He constantly seems busy.

    Friend Four - Drug dealer who constantly ridicules me about my way of life...

    Friend Five - ... yeah, out of friends, sorry.

    Hope this brought some insight.

    Some straight people I know, friends or not, don't really want to talk about same sex attraction. They accept it exists, but really don't want to know any more than that. Others are curious and ask the craziest questions.

    One of my best friends is straight...

    He usually asks if the guy I am talking about has a sister. LOL

    Our tastes run physically similar but he is hetero-impaired.

    My staught buddy is at ease about it.
