Hi

My name is Michael, I'm 23, and I'm living in the northern part of England. I'm 5'10", 9st (128lbs, 57.2kg) after a meal :dry:, blue eyes, and pasty skin. I change my hair colour between various shades of red and brown every six to eight weeks.

I've come to this community to, hopefully: enjoy discussions about things I like and dislike, discover new things and ways of thinking, and provide information and/ or tentative support on issues I'm knowledgeable and/ or experienced with.

Background on my sexuality:

I was oblivious to my sexuality for the best part of 16 years. I wasn't romantically or sexually attracted to anyone. However, due to my feminine mannerisms most people asked, assumed, or referred to me as being gay. I denied being gay. I wasn't insulted; I simply wasn't aware of any such feelings and I thought it wasn't accurate to be labelled as such. There were pretty boys and girls, but I wasn't attracted to them.

I wasn't aware of my sexuality until I met a boy in college. It was completely one-sided, but it still felt liberating to me—to know that I wasn't lacking something that everyone else seemed to experience. From then on I started to take notice of boys and equally became aware of my lack of notice for girls. I thought it pretty obvious that I was gay and I was OK with it; internally at least. Everyone I had known, family, friends, strangers, had all considered me gay at one point or another. I felt like an idiot for being the only one who hadn't known. So I continued to deny it whenever I was asked, despite knowing otherwise.

Background on my personality:

I wasn't myself during my teen years: I was a moody so-and-so. I knew the reasons for it: a mixture of betrayal and hormones. And I hated it, but I couldn't stop it. It took true friends showing that they really did care about me, after a failed suicide attempt, for me to smash my poorly made façade. I took back the personality I had pre-teens: a happy guy who is honest, loves cute things, doesn't bother acting macho, and likes to speak as much as he listens. And I no longer deny being gay.

If I had to choose between mango sorbet and Sex for the rest of my life, it would be mango sorbet.
