Thank you so much Silvercamel, for sharing your story with us. One of the great things about this forum, is that we get to meet so many different people, of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities, all with different sexual and loving experiences, (sometimes even unrequited).Thanks Mike for our reply....I grew up in a time when having homosexual feelings (there was no "gay") were a problem to be corrected and I very much wanted to have a family, etc. so I woreked at not being homosexual....I was in a seminary (protestant) when I revealed my "homosexual problem" and since it was a progressive seminary, they didn't kick me out, they just tried to help me get over the problem. So I tried real hard to supress gay feelings....eventually got married (though there wasn't a lot of hot passion) and did have children....but finally, after 15 years and a terrific therapist I realized I wanted passion and it would have to be with a man...my children were o.k. with it; they were never a problem. About a year after I was divorced, I met a guy (at the baths) from Georgia and we fell in love and spent five wonderful years together...his death was a terrible shock....looking back I can see that I was gay from the beginning - I was never very passionate about girls - and if I lived in todays world I probably would never have married. On the other hand, my kids are great so in the end I regret nothing.
Manly men are great kissers - that I know. I hope you get to the point where you can enjoy it...you probably are the archtype for the 21st century man - sexual in all its meanings and able to find enjoyment whenever the opportunity arises and with whomever you happen to be attracted to. It is a new day for bisexuality.
Thanks for your :first time: story - it was hot....
Your story is so typical of a gay guy trying so hard to change, and wasting so much time, trying to change something that is a basic part of who we are. It is unfortunate that we did not grow up in a more enlightened time. I am so happy for you that you are at peace with who you are, and you look at all the wonderful things that you have experienced so far, including raising your kids.
And thank you Mike, for asking this question. We can all learn quite a bit from our brother's here.
