    Good afternoon!

    I'm just one girl on a quest to get comfortable in my own skin. I've known I really liked girls since I was about seven, but I've only ever pursued relationships with men because I grew up in a less than tolerant neighborhood in the Bible Belt and was bullied relentlessly in my school days. I was married to a man for several years, and although I've been to several gay bars and had several liasons with other women, I've been hesitant to pursue that attraction because a part of me feels like other people won't believe me because of all my past relationships with men, and I don't feel like I'm fully accepted as a bisexual because whenever I have told other people, they either assume I'm attention whoring or that I'm in denial that I am gay. It's weird; I have attractions to members of both genders, but sexually, I'd really prefer a lady. Men's naked bodies don't do much for me, and I find penises to be rather repulsive (and painful); women are soft and smooth and nice to touch. I thought this site would be an excellent way to connect with others who might have the same or similar experiences, as well as help and advice. So....hi everyone! :smilewave
