    Hi all, I'm 56, male and live in the UK, until very recently I would have said with out any doubt that I was straight. I've had gay friends and lived with gay men, but I have never been remotley attracted to a man. However I recently 'met' a man on the internet, slightly younger than me, we have writing back and forth for about 10days and I can't get hime out of my head, he sends mails telling me what he would like to do to me and what he'd like me to do to him and it is a massive sexual turn on. I was married until September last year when my wife sadly died, no children. So I am very, very confused at the moment, any advice or support would reallybe welcomed.

    Welcome. Sorry to hear about your wife :frowning2:

    In an ideal world it shouldn't matter who you're attracted to. I hope you figure it out. I have met a few attractive guys in my life, but it has never been a sexual attraction. But it's all about labels to most people isn't it? Who care about labels. Go with your feelings I say.
