this is really really hard for me to write. i've been thinking about it for months (actually years if you count all the speculation and soul-searching and what not) and although i've never actually "liked" another guy, i guess i'll take the first steps to admit to myself (and all of VT lol) that i'm bisexual.

right now i have an big emotional attraction to girls but a small sexual attraction to them, yet i have a big sexual attraction to other guys but a small emotional attraction to them. for a while i've been calling this straight/curious, but who am i kidding? i don't want to lie to myself about it anymore to cover it up.

i'm definitely not coming out to anyone i know any time soon, but i suppose that's the next step i'll eventually have to take. my parents aren't really the accepting type, but i'll cross that bridge when i get to it.

i'm just happy to admit this to myself and admit this to the incredible VT community. step one = complete. :D

Well congrats on your first big step on discovering who you are! It seems that you have thought about this decision for awhile. I have been trying to find my sexuality for 5 years now and I am in a similar situation as you,but I have an emotional attraction to boys whereas I have a physical attraction to girls vice versa. I am trying to convince myself that I am Bi and not straight, it is easy to get caught in the flow sometimes :(. But enough about me, I wish you well in your path of self discovery :D

Hey bud, you just accomplished the first step, i just cam tout as bisexual about two weeks ago to my family and they were fine with it, it took them a few days but they were accepting and I can say this, I never thought they would be accepting, I thought for sure that they would have thrown me out for sure.

BUT

Hey man, if you need anything let me know, I am always here, I am always here to provide any insight you might want or anything at all.

Congrats man and glad you took the first step! :) I'm really happy for you and hope that everything continues to go well and progress. The very thing you must do is accept yourself for who you are, and I think you are beginning to do that. In the long run, much like myself, you'll probably find out that being bi is a pretty awesome thing :P

Hmm, it seems to sound like I have a long lost brother?

I'm the same way. I'm more emotionally attracted to females; I'd rather have relationships with them, as I don't feel as weird. Yet, when it comes to sexual attraction, it's fairly hard for me to get it up

As for guys, I'm not so emotionally attracted to them, yet being in a relationship with one isn't out of the question. But I am much more sexually attracted to guys, much easier to get it up. My reason being seems to be that....well, we're both guys, so we understand each other better, as compared to females haha.

i'm definitely not coming out to anyone i know any time soon, but i suppose that's the next step i'll eventually have to take. my parents aren't really the accepting type, but i'll cross that bridge when i get to it.

This is my take, I don't find it necessary at all to tell someone what gender turns me on, and what ones turn me off. I actually find that really relevant with parents. I don't really plan on telling my mom at all that I'm bi, but I will be honest, lately, it's crossed my mind.

I'd definitely tell some of your friends though, it'll make them respect you more and your friendships may become better. I wouldn't go telling people who you are just "friends" with though, tell people who you really consider your good friends. Because, it's something personal you know.

i'm just happy to admit this to myself and admit this to the incredible VT community. step one = complete.

Once again! Congrats! Admitting it to yourself is a very powerful thing, once you come to grips with yourself and you can clearly admit it to yourself, you do feel much better :)
