Well, if you both like it, and neither of you mind, why not continue to get one night stands with guys. From the sounds of it, you both trust each other, so there shouldn't be any problem from a romance standpoint, and you both like it, as long as you're careful about it, then it sounds like you just discovered a rather amusing new hobby.
XDDDDDD We do both trust each other.
And yeah, It's an option from now on, it's just not going to become an every week or all the time thing. maybe a few times a year.

Just, from now they're using protection and I'm getting birth control so I don't have to spend 45 dollars on pills. D:<

Honestly, this topic just magnifies a couple of tiny worries I have about myself.

I'm 20 years old (female too) and have been with my boyfriend for only 3 and a half months, he's my second bf and I've never been with a girl. I'm bisexual with a strong preference for females though. It doesn't change the way I feel about my boyfriend but I worry about the fact that I'm slightly out as bisexual and the idea that I could "snap" into being either straight or gay. People have told me that it's not strange for people in their early 20s to realise they're not of the sexuality they thought they were, just like young teenagers do.

I feel like I'm not going to be able to appreciate my boyfriend as much as he deserves until I have killed a little curiousity if you know what I mean. I think the poor boy is suffering at the hands of my sexuality even though I don't discuss women with him in that way or anything and he is fully accepting.

I've considered dumping him because I almost believed a month or two ago that I was straight out lesbian.

He told me earlier today that he feels like I don't give a damn about our relationship. I have to admit that I'm not really too enthusiastic about it, I'm quite nonchalant about it really, I'm not really sure that's 100% normal. I have nothing to compare this relationship with, I don't know what's normal in relationships. My mum says that I'm already having the troubles with my boyfriend that her and my dad didn't start having til after they were married for years.

Oh well, there's my non-related rant.
Hmm. That does sound like a problem....

That worries me that hopefully I never flip over to only liking guys or something. Because I care too much about my girlfriend, and I'd feel really bad about it, regardless if the sexual attraction was no longer there. We're kind of to the point where we're too good of friends and care about each other along with the love. Some people love each other but are totally distant. They're kind of, "I love you, but I don't really LIKE you." Well we both like AND love each other. Hopefully that's enough to keep us together even if the passion does run out.

Maybe you could try to ask him if you two can experiment, too? Or if you think he'd oppose a threesome, take a little time off from each other...I dunno, but it sounds like it's really bothering you.

I have to say I feel a little sorry for the poor boy.

Regardless, this might sound corny, but maybe you should....Take a night off to find yourself? What I mean is, just take a look inside yourself, and figure out your sexuality. There's no point in stringing the poor guy's time along if you just plan to dump him at some point.

Or you could just wait for him to dump you, odds are he might not put up with this stuff forever.
I'm glad people helped lighten this topic up a bit.

Sure there were a few mistakes made, but so many more bright points about it.

<3 It WAS hot, like that one person said. XD

And it's good to be able to keep a good love life after five years.

Though things have changed and may have been uncomfortable for a while, this stage I'm in is win-win for everyone involved. I'm happy, and my life is still going how I want it.
I'm spoiled in a way, and lucky because I'm in a relationship where both of us can do mostly what we want and still stay together because we've got so much in common.

I'm NOT going to worry about the sexuality issues again unless it starts to interfere with my attraction towards her. I STILL prefer girls, and thinking on it isn't going to do a thing but worry me. rolleyes
'K, so I finally got tested for STDs today with my girlfriend.

I should get the results in about 3 days. Just keeping anyone posted in case they were concerned about that. .

First things first -

The guy you were involved with is the sort to have sex with random women in the back of a van, regardless of what else we do or do not know about him.

...Therefore, you and your partner need to get checked. Immediately. You should continue to get checked regularly for several months.

Talk to her about it, see how she feels. Make sure she's okay with the situation, and with you, and that everything is good with the relationship.

....Then I would say if you want to stay with her, bury the hatchet on this urge and move on. What's more important to you - keeping your partner in your life, or fulfilling base urges?

....It takes dedicaton, commitment, and trust to maintain a successful relationship.

Having relations outside of the relationship undermines the required dedication and commitment, and throws a shadow of doubt on the trust element of the relationship.

If you want to keep her, then move on past this and consider it a brief phase.

Get tested. A lot. Make sure she does too.

Stay safe.
I just GOT tested? >.>

Yeah, I know a lot of the blame will be put on him because he was the guy.
Even though I helped this all along, even though we were the ones who dragged him onto the van as he just sort of whimpered like some Ukeboy and followed our lead.

The doctors themselves were very light about it, giggled a bit when we went in there today and told them about what happened, and said over 85% of the time, even when it's a one night stand, no diseases are transmitted, that things like this can happen, I really thought we were going to be chewed out big time. But maybe it was the fact we went in there and did explain it responsibly, and admitted it was not planned out properly.

They did NOT say I had to repeatedly be subjected to testing, maybe they just have better technology? Because they took many blood samples and said they could EVEN detect aids/HIV if it was there, even if the encounter was only a week ago, along with every other std.

They never said anything about me having to come back to be re-tested. They said if I had anything, it would show up immediately. They said not to worry so damn much, that we were young and we didn't magically have to be perfect.

I have talked to her about it extensively., I guess no one reads anymore. She's the one who wanted the threesome in the first place. She's been asking to try one for years now. She seemed awfully pleased about this whole thing actually.

How do you know every time someone has a threesome it "casts eery shadow of dooom and doubt" over thewir relationship. Apparently you don't know what a relationship over five years of your life while in your PRIME, without ever experimenting with anyone else is like. It really put a spark back in oujr relationship that was waning a little, and strengthened our bond because we allowed each other to do this and despite being with someone new are still just as close as ever.

It's strengthened our relationship. A lot. We don't feel like we've "missed out" anymore. neutral

I just got checked. I've spent the last page talking about how I was getting checked. My last post was about how we went in today about getting checked. Does anyone read anymore?

Or, you know, I did/can do both just fine with no issues. My only problem was coming to terms with my own self not being totally gay? :]
Not to mention you're making it seem like it was only my urge to do this and not hers.

Except, you know, besides the fact that you're making a gross generalization, what we did made all parties happy.

I'm not going to go overboard and punish myself with needles for one night we all enjoyed, and even licensed professionals told us not to worry horribly about.
We will stay safe though. :] thx.
And what about polyamorous families/lovers?

People who have had a relationship with three or more people successfully for 10+ years?

Just because there's more than 2 people involved, their relationships together are automatically "undermined?" Even if they're all happy? All it takes is the right type of people and those types of things work. I know of a polyamorous family of four who have been together for over 20 years. Diane Reitz, ever heard of her? Probably not, but eh.

Oh, but I guess because most people are only couples and get too jealous when a third person comes in it won't work for anyone. rolleyes

It's undermined, and the trust is broken, when a person runs off and blatantly ******** cheats on their partner without their partner's consent. Which is what I see going on in the world a hell of a lot more than what we did. I guess no one realizes those hard feelings just are NOT there when it's a mutual thing and all three are attracted to each other.
So, the doctor said that they would have my results within three days of the testing.

They said they would not call if everything turned up normal, and they would call if there was a problem or std.

It's been 5 days, but I'm going to cross my fingers until monday or tuesday just to be safe, since it was easter weekend and things may have gotten delayed in the office because of the holiday.

So far though, it seems everything turned up normal.
I am officially std free.
