Coming Out…

After keeping everything hidden in regards to my sexual preferences for so long – I’ve come out as bisexual.

It’s been up to now, quite a revealing process to myself – I originally came out to myself a good couple of months ago after a brief get-together with a girl at work, but I have known for more than a decade that I was very different to most other blokes in my peer group.  I wasn’t one who would go down the pub most nights – every penny I had would go on designer gear, particularly in the years after I left school – and I had a certain way of carrying it off – even with my substantial girth.

Originally, when I left school I was only interested in blokes and blokes alone – was continually wanking myself silly over random blokes till my late teens.

However, on a college course about eight years ago – I was introduced to this stunning girl called Marie, who lived in Dover – and I got the feeling that if she wasn’t already attached at the time that me and her would probably had got it on there and there – however like now, there was the feeling that I needed that little more – which is probably why I’ve never been able to find someone who satisfies my needs.

As time moved on – my sexuality has up to a point not really changed in that regard – what I would like to think however is that, now I have come out as what I am, that I can feel more confident and open in being bisexual and being able to find someone who can become that special person in my life.

The one aspect that I worried about was how were my family and friends were going to react – some of my very closest friends suspected for years that I wasn’t straight – and so wasn’t surprised in the slightest – others I think, although they haven’t said so probably feel uncomfortable – which is completely understandable – it took me over a decade to come out to myself.  Overall however, the support from everyone (even my own sister) has been wonderful and extremely heart-warming!

Here’s to the next chapter to my life.
