Confused about my sexuality advice please?

So I’ve always identified as a gay man. I’ve always been attracted to and had relationships with men. Over the last few months I’ve grew close to a female co worker of mine and I’m starting to like and feel a sexual attraction towards her. We were hanging out the other night and she’s always sitting on my lap when we watch movies etc but my dick randomly got hard for her and it confused me so much. I jumped up and excused myself hoping she didn’t notice but I think I’m starting to really like her more then a friend. I’m just so confused at the moment. Ive only ever been sexual with men before and this has really confused me. I honestly don’t know what to do or what’s going on any advice?

OP, don't worry about the ridiculous post above. That's just an obsessed moron who's been shitting all over quite a few threads of late. It has nothing to do with you.

Back on topic, sexuality is a spectrum, not an on/off switch. You may be 90% gay but that would still mean that there might be a few women out there who would be attractive to you. Don't waste your time worrying about that part of it. An attraction to one woman does not mean you're straight: it means you're attracted to one woman.

As for what to do about it, the best answer probably is, "nothing," since this would have the potential to really screw up your friendship. This could be just a temporary thing and that once you relax and back off a bit, things will go back to normal.

If you really are attracted and want to pursue it, then think about how she would feel. If you think she might reciprocate, then tell her, but be prepared to be rejected and be prepared to have it make your friendship get really weird or even lose it altogether.

I think you should have sex with her and figure out if you're bisexual or this is a one off. I had 2 guys in college where we had affairs and i'm the only guy they did before or since. (Separately!) Either way, a nice adventure. Would it be so horrible if you are bi? Sheesh! I had 2 girlfriends in my bisexual years then I went gay and stayed that way.

Life lesson: a penis gets hard. You’re at an age where your penis gets hard for all sorts of reasons and getting rubbed on by someone sitting on your lap is pretty common.

You need to start establishing boundaries. Non intimate friends shouldn’t be sitting on your lap because - obviously, it leads to sexually confusing situations.

So don’t put yourself in that situation.

One other point: if this is a co-worker that you routinely interact with, either on your team or on a team that you work closely with, that's even more reason to do nothing. Office romances often end up in nasty situations that are uncomfortable for everyone, not just the two people involved.

Op, tell her how you are feeling and then if she is game - fuck her.

Do it, and report back.

She is not going to be your bff forever. When she gets into a serious relationship or married, it will be twice a year for drinks and that's it. The risk of losing this friendship is worth perhaps landing your soul mate or maybe just a disastrous failed attempt at sex between a gay man and his hag that I could enjoy reading here.

by Anonymousreply 23July 10, 2019 12:19 AM

OP, I’m almost a gold-star gay but not quite. Meaning, I haven’t had sex with a woman in close to forty years. (OK, I’m an antique human.) Anyway, the point I want to make is that there were times I got hard around women a long time ago but I didn’t really feel attraction to them deep down. Penises are weird sometimes.

If she’s not just a passing acquaintance but a genuine friend, I’d avoid trying to move this thing out of the friend zone. OTOH, if the sensation persists over time, you can reconsider.

One more thing, some people on DL are not happy unless they ridicule or insult someone at least once a day. Don’t pay them any attention. Don’t even bother commenting on them. Not worth your energy.

You're only 22, OP; it's fine if you're still figuring out your sexuality. You can experiment with a woman without it needing to be some big, serious, committed thing, at least as long as you are upfront with the woman about the situation. This particular woman, however, sounds like she might be trouble. Getting involved with a co-worker is always dicey and the lap thing smacks of neediness and attention seeking.

Nothing wrong with being bisexual but have you ever felt sexually attracted to a woman before? What is so sexy about her?

by Anonymousreply 67July 10, 2019 1:26 AM

r32, I disagree with you.

When in college a friend across the hall. Gayer than Kurt Hummel, was so in a huff one day and quite besides himself. I asked him what was going on, he said that he was having a bisexual crisis. It can happen. Gaylings can get stiffies for women from time to time. I also knew a gay guy who was so crazed by cleavage in a woman. Pushed close together. I told him it looks like a butt and not to turn in his gay card.

Straights can have moments of ???, so can gays. There is a spectrum.

Maybe OP went to fast to say he was gay, maybe he is bi. Answer is porn. Watch women, watch lesbian porn. Because if you are watching hetero porn you might be getting excited by the dude. See what comes up. But be sure to put tape over the webcam.

It's a distinction without merit. You're trying to pretend that one instance of attraction to one member of the opposite sex automatically removes the "gay" label, even though the OP clearly identifies as gay. By your standards, probably 99% of the population is bisexual. It's stupid.

by Anonymousreply 70July 10, 2019 1:45 AM

But there is so much more which can come into play besides the obvious, OP. This lady could be turning you on in simple ways, too. Does she have a sweet voice? Pretty? Smell good? Caring and affectionate? Nuturing? Sitting in your lap is storing your masculine energy dude. Examine your attraction to her, and then fuck the he'll out of her, or make sweet love to her, instead.

By the way, by the time you reach your twenties you know if you have any inkling of heterosexual attraction. It's the air our entire society breathes in every waking second, especially among men.
