Bi curious?

LegacyUser

I'm a male in my early twenties. I have never had a homosexual experience, but I find myself curious about it for the last two years or so. I am wondering if this is a sign that perhaps I have a homosexual/bisexual side (I'm aware of the Kinsey scale etc) but I don't know if it is just a phase I'm going through. I'm wondering if there are any bisexual people here who could relate their own discovery of bisexuality and how it took place for them. I don't know whether it's something I should pursue in order to find out if it is a real feeling. I'm not even sure where I'd begin. Any advice or information would be a great help thanks.

If you've been curious about it for 2 years then I think you already know that it may be something you want to try. I'm sure other bi guys will come along and share their experiences or opinions, but as a gay man, I'd suggest that you get to some guys, and maybe eventually meeting up with an understanding guy and try some stuff. If you do enjoy it then I'd say you are bi, but if you decide it's not for you then you can chalk it down to experience and know it was just a period of curiosity and nothing more. But to be thinking of it for 2 years is a big indicator to me that you could possibly be bisexual.

Go for it.

Meet guys in straight clubs/bars, gay ones or online.
I run into many many guys in your situation so you will hit into so many like minded men easily. I think it's pretty normal to be curious so try it out, what harm?

The idea of a phase is really such a load of rubbish. If it exists, it's in puberty. You're in your twenties and it's going on two years, so it's not a phase, you're just plain old curious. The curiosity is not likely to go away, so you might as well act on it and see how it goes. Good luck!

Op back here again. I know some gay men who I am pretty sure would be very supportive if I were to confide in them with this matter. The only thing is that after so many years of being involve sexually with only women I must admit that while I am curious there is also a certain amount of trepidation. I am wondering that if I do dive in head first and try something and then realise that it is not for me, will this be a traumatic experience or something I will feel very bad about in the future? I'm feeling pretty confused about the whole thing, but I can't change the fact that I have this underlying curiousity. I am also beginning to wonder if part of my curiosity is based on my interests. Many of the literary and cultural figures whom interest me are homosexual or bisexual, and I am wondering if this may have lead me towards this curiosity rather than some deeper explanation. But at the same time I can also identify instances when I noticed what I believe to be an attraction to the male form.
