    Hello everyone.

    I am approaching this rather tentatively, so here goes. Up until a few days ago I've been convinced I was straight, but a conversation about various aspects of gender identity and sexuality with my asexual, biromantic, girlfriend, has led to me believe I am bisexual. She is of course fine with it. Coming to this conclusion about my sexuality has been a wonderful, freeing, feeling...but it has left me a little overwhelmed.

    A few things about me then...I'm a 23 year old with a master's degree, and am a musician.

    I'm still tentatively approaching this. I would consider myself to still have a preference towards women, am almost certainly heteroromantic, and only find very certain guys attractive.

    One day I'd like to experiment with a guy, but the idea of it still freaks me out.

    All the best folks!

    Thanks. My girlfriend is being wonderful about it, and we're both very happy. Some people might not be as open minded, which concerns me a little. I'm still unsure as to whether to come out, as I am still heteroromantic, and don't want people to misunderstand or get the wrong idea. Also, I am not yet sure that I'd live anything other than a 'straight' life.

    Looking forward to seeing where this all goes.

    Thanks. Can any of you suggest where I should be posting specific questions?

    I should say I like the idea of experimenting, rather than am wanting to. I'm very happy with what I have now.

    Welcome! I'm new here myself.

    First, it is really hard to not be worried about what other people will think of you. And you know what? You'll learn who your friends are. You'll learn who are the good ones to keep around. The others just aren't worth it if they don't like you for who you have been to afraid to be.

    Second, I wish I could answer your question. I for one was(am) not interested in experimenting. I'm simply not attracted to women, but I very much am attracted to men. I suggest posing this question in the Support Area somewhere!

    Continue to ask questions or seek advice if you need it. That's what people are here for!
