Hi everybody, I just joined today and thought I'd come over here and introduce myself. I'm 21 and in my third year of university and I've just switched my major from English to history (don't ask lol.. my academic journey in uni has been a long and winding road to this point). Anyway, one of my very best friends is a member of EC (a gay male) and I naively asked him last week if straight people were allowed to join and he just laughed at me. He was like "of course!!" So I figured I'd check it out. After reading the main page and some stuff about the forum I really liked the sound of the site, so I decided to join. I think that websites like this are just awesome, safe havens where people of all sexual orientations can gather together and support each other. I'll give a little bit of information about my own sexuality "confusion", I suppose I'd call it. I know for sure that I am attracted to men, no doubt about that! lol..The part that I am confused about is whether or not I am also attracted to women. That's why I put my orientation as "Straight, but curious." I think I can safely say that I'm bi-curious. I have had several girl crushes over the years on female celebrities whom I respect and admire, but never on females in "real life". Sometimes I don't know if I am actually attracted to these women or if it's just normal straight girl envy of their fit bodies :lol: Like I don't know if thinking "Damn, she's got a hot body!" means I'm attracted to it or if I just want it for myself, you know? I don't know if that makes sense, I'm probably not explaining this very well. I do apologise if I'm sounding like a blithering idiot, I always end up going around in circles when I talk about this stuff. I guess it's a good thing I'm here, eh? I could go on and on about it forever, but I'll post in more detail in other sections. For now though, it's lovely to be here and I hope to meet lots of great people! Have an awesome day all!
Hey welcome to EC straight, gay, bi, curious we dont care, hopefully chatting to people will help you clear up the confusion, there is always someone here who has been or is in the same situation as you
Well it's great to have you here! This is a great place to work things through, and no one is going to tell you how it has to be - that's something you'll ultimately find out for yourself. And however it turns out, we'll still love you!
