    Hello everyone,
    I'm new to EC and thought I'd introduce myself. Not sure what to say-I'll probably be reading more than posting for a while until I feel more comfortable here.

    I'm struggling with understanding my bisexuality-even at the age of 38. My husband brought it to my attention after we had been married about 5 years that I was bi and perhaps I should accept that about my life. He has been fully supportive of me and we have a committed, monogamous relationship that I love.

    I'm here because I fight the urge to flirt with a woman who is attractive and flirts with me. I fight with averting my eyes in front of my parents when an attractive woman passes me by with a smile. When it's a man I still blush and go silent because I love my husband, but I feel so wrong when I have to hide the same blush when it's a woman. I actually start coughing and run to the bathroom in restaurants when it occurs in front of people who don't know.

    I used to think something was broken inside me. Something was wired wrong or that I would never belong in the world because I wasn't heterosexual (strictly speaking) or homosexual. I question if I am gender blind and respond to someone's energy-but then I have questions about why I am a natural submissive in a male-female relationship yet yearn for dominance in a female-female relationship?

    I can just hear Freud frantically scribbling right about now....

    I end up with more questions than I have answers and my confidence is slowly gaining strength. I thought this might be a great place to start.

    thanks,
    Pheph
