Hello, everyone! 4laugh

I'm a 20 year old panromantic (though at times, I lean more towards homoromantic) asexual. I found out about asexuality in December 2010, and I've been relatively content with my orientation/identity since then.

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. ^__^ If anyone ever needs someone to talk to, my inbox is always open. Take care!

Hello, welcome to the thread. It's definitely a good feeling when you feel relatively content with your orientation/identity. I'm still trying to come to terms with my transsexual identity but it's getting better. I'm feeling a little more confident and I am starting to come to terms with it. It can still be hard accepting it at times but at least I know who I am.

How long have you been identifying as transsexual? smile It's good that you're feeling more confident with the whole thing, though. I can only imagine how hard that must be.

I've had feelings about wanting to be a girl since I was about 10 (I'm 19 now). I haven't been identifying as trans for that long though. I guess I officially came out to myself and started identifying as trans in late November/early December. It definitely is hard. I'm still in the closet, except for my two best friends, and I have absolutely no idea how the rest of my friends and family will react. The topic has actually never come up so I can't make a prediction based off of anything.

Ah. Growing up must have been hard for you.

But at least you've made the first step by admitting it to yourself. That's the most important thing in the end. As long as you're comfortable with your identity, it really doesn't matter what other people think. heart Are your two best friends supportive? As for telling your family... Don't feel like you have to explain things right away. That can be scary.

I wouldn't necessarily say that growing up was hard, it was very confusing and I didn't know why I felt the way I did. I was a little scared, thinking that something was wrong with me. I'd say mostly confusing.

My two best friends are alright with it. One friend said that he was fine with it and promised to keep it a secret. We haven't talked about it since then but he wouldn't mind if I brought it up. My other friend is finding it a little hard but she's supportive and is adjusting to the idea. It's just hard for her because we're really close friends and she's known me as a guy since we were little kids and she was also my girlfriend at one point. Both have been pretty accepting and supportive.

Coming out is definitely hard and scary. I'm not sure when I'll come out. I know that I don't have to yet and I don't feel ready yet. I'll tell them when I feel comfortable telling them and feel like I'm ready. All I can do is hope for the best for when that time comes.

That's cool. It's always too bad when you don't get to see your older friends as much though.

Hello!
I'm a lurker on this thread, popped in a few times.
Anyway, I had a bit of an...intimate question, sorry if it's too much so.
Do you think that contraception is important for same sex couples? Does it ruin the experience at all?
The last time I was here I identified as bisexual, now I've come to terms with the fact I'm lesbian inn the last year and I'm finally happy with myself, Nice to see you all.

Rubbers are definitely a must for male on male, since with a**l you risk STDs and you can also can get a UTI. Its worth the drop off in sensitivity to wear a condoms as a UTI hurts like crap and the medical bills for the doc visit and medicine hurt the pocket book.

I imagine if you're having one night stands, it would be worth investing in dental dams and condoms for toys or fingers for a female on female sex.

Hope this helps.

-EDIT-
To me its worth having the extra protection and it doesn't ruin my enthusiasm or my good times.

so...three out of four of my best friends died last weekend by drunk and underaged driving...i haven't gone back to school yet because i'm so upset about it...and my mom went thru my fone and saw a message to my boyfriend confessing that i had a crush on one of them he was fine with it and has been trying to make me happy and has been so supportive thru this but my mom decided to exploit this and start harassing me about my sexuality again...it really hurts she'd do this during a moment of weakness and that this is what she's thinking about this and how to tear me down over the fact i'm bisexual when three of her "other children" are now gone

If you do like both girls and guys then that would make you bisexual. Most bisexuals do tend to lean one way more than the other. That could make you bisexual with a preference towards women. However, if you think that you're only tricking yourself into thinking that you like boys, when you don't have any interest in them whatsoever and are only interested in women, then you would probably be a lesbian. You're the only one that can say what you're sexual orientation is however. If you're really not sure then you might want to explore it a little. You don't have to rush to figure this out and give yourself a label. Just take some time to figure it out. I'm sure you'll come to figure out what your sexuality is.

That sounds terrible. I'm so sorry. I hope that things get better and that your mom can someday accept your bisexuality. *hugs* If you want someone to talk to, I'm here.
