Thank you! I think the skype group sounds like fun. i'll think about joiningWelcome, Zulithe.
Always nice to see more artists in here. I do traditional art, mostly, but I'm also trying (and failing, so far) to learn digital painting.
We also have a Skype LGBTQIA+ Group Chat, so if you want to join, feel free to contact me via PM with your Skype ID and I'll add you.
You would like that, wouldn't you!
You can find a way to reconcile.

I thought I would ask the others gays in this thread, what was your first reaction when you realised you were gay?
I didn't so much have a reaction as it kind of just gradually dawned upon me, but when it was blatantly obvious to me, I had no problem with it. If anything, I felt as though it convinced me to make more of an identity for myself unlike when I was younger and followed everything everyone else was doing. It felt great, and it still does.

For some reason, I had convinced myself that you were a member who had been forcibly juniored. Please allow me to apologise for this grave insult to your honour.
Yesss!! Dragon's Dogma <3
You're awesome! Welcome!
I don't identify as gay, but when I realized I was attracted to the same sex I was scared and depressed. I guess my reaction was "oh no this can't be happening" and all the drama that comes with it.
This is a perfect description of me as well 0.0
When I was 14, and realized that having spend the last 2 years masturbating exclusively to male fantasies probably made me gay. It just kinda hit me one day in a "OH SHIT" kind of revalation

I was around 11-12 when I started to notice other guys in my class, but I didn't think much about it at the time. I'm not even sure if I really knew what "gay" was or that was different from what other people experienced. It became a bit more obvious once my friends started to talk about girls in our classes, and I'd look at those girls and feel absolutely nothing toward them besides friendship. For a while, I mistook this feeling of friendship to be a sexual feeling. I think I was in denial for quite a while despite looking exclusively at gay porn online. I just told myself that everyone probably looks at all different types of stuff like that, so it was fine. As I got a little older, I began to realize what being gay actually meant, and I sort of freaked out, retreated, and became depressed. I developed some pretty bad crushes on some of my male friends, and I desperately longed to be with them. I grew up in a very religious household and area (both grandfathers were preachers at two different churches, we went every Sunday, etc), so it was especially hard on me dealing with it. I felt like I had no one to talk to about it. It really wasn't until I was a couple years into college that I started to accept myself as gay and began to be okay with it.
Basically the same for me! Same ages and stuff. But with an added 'realisation of a crush on a male friend' for extra clichitude. Didn't have any trouble accepting it really. It was being possibly kinda bi-ish that I had

Probably going to get a haircut today. Need new shoes also but there's no shoe store within walking distance.
I met someone last Friday and we've been spent everyday together since. Lots in common and really good chemistry and passion.
So of course he's just graduated and for his career the town we live in isn't a good fit. He's applied to other cities so if he gets anything soon, well, bye bye.
My luck, of course. Oh well I'll just roll with it and not get too attached.

If he's going somewhere exciting, why not just roll with him?
Once you get the chance after you finish school and whatnot.

I'm in this club took I had a crush on a dude that I thought was normal. Which at the time I thought well that's what everyone else feels right? It took me a few weeks before I figured it out Haha.
You thought he was normal but you had a crush on him? How do you react to the guys you think are special?
So a person with a low libido is an asexual? It makes sense.
Thanks!
I'm glad I know you so well already then.
I don't think I had any kind of "oh I guess I'm gay" moment, I guess it just dawned on me so early and/or so gradually that it was always in my mind somehow. Like I definitely had crushes on other boys in my class in gradeschool but I also knew I couldn't ask them out, stuff like that.
Could definitely be a torturous existence at times back then.
One thing I can definitely say for certain though is that as I got into my tweens and teens and began to discover gay films like The Birdcage, while I found them entertaining I was very struck with the feeling that I was not like any of those characters at all despite them being gay, which I knew I was. I really didn't know what to think about myself for a long while.
Maybe... I think about sex and can get turned on by it but I have no desire to participate in it. I think I probably could in the right situation, but I'm not interested in making the right pursuances that would likely put me in that situation, and so, it will never come up.

No, you misunderstand. I thought it was normal to have a crush on a guy and that most people did. Sorry.You thought he was normal but you had a crush on him? How do you react to the guys you think are special?

I'm in desperate need for a haircut but I really hate paying people to cut my hair - oh well.
That won't be for a while yet! But regardless we've only just met, so it's no big deal, at the moment at least.

I was kidding man. I enjoy bad puns.
To be honest though, I'm not sure why but by the time I realised I liked a guy I already had a notion that I shouldn't. Or not quite that. More an understanding it was an outlier and unusual? So I find the idea of thinking it normal interesting....
Not that it isn't normal! We're none of us 'abnormal' just statistically less probable.
Yeah. I would always assume it was just friendship, and later realize that there was lust to that feeling as well that other people probably had for girls. It's something that hits you like a ton of bricks when you realize it, because you then feel really embarrassed.
Perhaps jumping in a gentle manner. I don't think the penis could get crushed, it's very resilient tissue. But what do I know.
So he's a jerk?
Anyways, I think he's already married. I:

I mean, I don't know exactly where one would "draw the line" - I don't even know exactly where I fit.
But asexuality is different from aromantic.
There may be overlap, of course, but not necessarily.
Since, I have a strong need to be in a relationship, and am very romantic.

Yeah, I mean, not trying to tell you how you fit into it either. Just trying to clarify a bit.
And, yeah, it's not that I don't think about sex or get turned on. Just, the whole process of actually having sex is something I generally don't particularly enjoy.
That, coupled with various negative reinforcements, makes me stay away from it as much as I can >.>

Nah, sex drive and sexual attraction are 2 different things; you can be homosexual and have a low Sex drive, just like you can be asexual and have a high sex drive. Hell, some asexuals enjoy sexual actions, there's just no sexual attraction or anything behind it (which can lead to problems with non-asexual partners where the action alone is not enough).

Oh I noticed. And yes, Metroid Prime is sooo good. I just started replaying my Metroid Prime Trilogy disc to celebrate the digital release on Wii U. I swear those games get better with age.
Welcome!

Rough aggressive jumping on the penis or it doesn't count!
don't do that, it hurts like 3 millions suns going supernova

Back from the haircut. Shorter than I prefer but ok. Never get the haircut I want and am not confrontational enough to say anything about it.

And aspects and such.
As another example, the idea of having sex with someone to get them pregnant is very appealing to me.
But if it's unlikely/impossible to get pregnant... For me, it's like, why even bother?
I'll admit that I'm jealous of people who can have children or have children.
And, yes, at this point, I'm more than a bit bitter about things as well.
Life is a complex thing.
