    Hi there.

    I'm not sure entirely what I should and shouldn't be saying here, so I'll just put myself out there as I am and see what happens.

    I'm a 31 y/o woman who is sexually attracted to both the male and female form. I would not call myself bisexual, however, due to the fact actual sexual relationships... frighten me. I prefer emotional relationships and am still mentally a virgin.

    In my experience, it takes me a long time to get comfortable enough to attempt being sexual with another person and by the time that I start to feel ready, I find myself dumped or cheated on and the relationship ends. I've given up looking and have never sexually engaged with another person as a result.

    I am, perhaps, too old to still be trying to figure myself out. I'm looking for a safe place to do that in.

    I will state right now that I am Christian and I do NOT believe that God hates LGBT people. He made us as we were intended to be. I will not force my belief on anyone, but I also would like to ask that no one challenge me about my belief, either. I am mentioning this now in hopes of avoiding painful, pointless conflict in the future... You can imagine that it's happened before.

    I am a cartoonist by hobby and admittedly do tend to be rather childish at times. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and agoraphobia and am currently awaiting results back from an Adult Autism screening.

    Here I am, as I am. I hope I did this right. Hello, everyone.

    Hey Krissy. Welcome to EC.

    The people here are friendly and supportive and it's a great place to discover who you are in a safe environment.

    Please don't worry that you are too old to be questioning. There are people here from a wide range of the rainbow spectrum who have found themselves both younger than you and older than you.
