    I grew up in a Catholic household, and, although my parents are liberal compared to some, I was still raised in the belief that being attracted to people other than "normal" women was a sin. Now that I've left the nest, and I no longer have my parents around espousing Christian values, I've begun to question my own beliefs. My struggle to identify just what I am has led me here. I find women attractive, and I've only ever successfully masturbated to porn involving women, but I still find myself romantically drawn towards men as much as women. I've tried looking at male porn, and I've found some that I found stimulating, but for some reason I just can't go all the way through with it. It might just be that the part of me that believes in Christian sexuality ideals makes me think I'm doing something wrong, or it might just be that I don't find it sexually attractive enough, I don't know. Either way, I could still easily see myself being in a romantic relationship with the right man. I also find transsexuals (born male, identifying as female) to be attractive. That pretty much sums me up. I'm not really sure what to classify myself as, and, until I do, I don't really feel comfortable telling people in my life about me. Sorry about the wall of text.

    Welcome to EC. You'll enjoy it here, I'm sure. I read that you liked transsexuals, (born male, identifying as female), well you'll find a lot of them, such as myself, on this very website. Message me if you wanna talk, I'm always up for a chat.
