Am I gay? What am I suppose to do?
Posted On 06/07/2008 03:39:28 by JDme23

I think I maybe gay and I'm not like an expert at this so please read my story and help me somehow figure this shit out:

Well for starters I'm JD. I'm 17. I live in NYC, the greatest city on earth, the big apple, and whatever else those "come to New York City. It's amazing!" commericals tell you on TV. Yeah, its not really like that don't be tricked. But I'm getting sidetracked, I often do that. It's a bad habit. I apologize in advance.

Anyway, okay so I have considered myself straight basically my whole life. I have a gf of 4 months named Jenifer and I really like her. I mean I think I do. She's pretty and yea... I've always dated girls, fooled around with girls I just thought that's how it was suppose to be. There were no other options ya know. Especially because my father, who's father and him borth served in the army, always looked down on homosexuality and talked badly about as they put it lightly "those people commiting sin" to me and my brothers and cousins. But something happened to me the other day. I play football, have been playing since I was 11. I'm a wide recievier. Pretty good. If I do say so myself.

Anyway I was in the shower alone after a really long hard game, and I was the last one in the shower for some reason and I thought everyone had gone home, so I started to jerk off. Not something I'm proud of, but it happens. All of a sudden I heard the door open I quickly tried to calm myself down, but it was too late I was exposed.  this sophomore running back Remy was the person who opened the door. Now Remy I have always admired. You have to understand. The kid is bulit like a greek god. He has these powerful toned legs that move so fast and don't jiggle or anything. And his abs are like three times better than mine. Okay maybe not three, but like they are amazing. Like superman or something. Plus and I still have a hard time admitting this to myself, he's really REALLY REALLY REALLY... good looking. he's like beauitful. He's like... so pretty. With these electric blue eyes, and really black dark hair.

When he saw what I was doing in the summer, I quickly tried to explain my self, but he really didn't care. He needed to take a shower as well, so he went to the oppsiste side of the room and dropped his towel. I was compelled to look over. Like really interested I didn't understand why I wanted to look at hm, but I really did. When I look a quick glance at him, I noticed he was looking at my naked body, I felt like exposed or something. He noticed that I was noticing him notice me and he turned bright red.

"I'm sorry" hes like. "You just have a really nice body."

"Not as good as you" I repiled. We smiled at each other, keeping our distances, but still smiling. Then something really strange happened, he slolwy made his way over to me, patted me on the shoulder a little more than friendly, and looked down.

"You've got yourself a nice set of equipment there" he said slowly looking back up at me with his blue eyes. He ran his hand up and down my back and I flinched, I was liking this all a bit too much and I guess it showed. I got real hard. Real quick. And like... ahhh. He kissed me And that's when I fucking freaked. I leaned in at first, since it was actually warm and good. And then it fucking hit me like a ton of bricks. This was a guy, I was kissing. I was so freaked out. That pushed him off of me.

"hey what's..."

but i didn't even let him finish. I ran out of there so fast, before he could catch me. I took the train from my school on the Upper West Side to where I live in midtown on the east side and I swear people kept staring at me, because I was pretty much holding back tears the whole time causing my eyes to redended. They probably thought I was stoned or something. As soon as I got home I called Jen, but she didn't pick up the phone. I felt like a shithead the whole night. I didn't go to sleep or eat dinner. I told my family I was too tired to eat or do anything, but really while everyone was laughing at the dinner table, I was up stairs crying my eyes out.

It's been about three weeks since the incident and all I can think about is Remy. How soft and amazing his kiss felt. How hard I got. I think about it a lot, when I'm making out with Jen. And I feel bad because she's sucha a nice sweet girl, and she would do naything for me. But lately i don't know. I'm not even getting hard for her anymore. Like she tried to give me a handjob the other day, and I couldn't do it. I could not get hard for her. And when she asked what was wrong I had to make some lame excuse about being under a lot of stress.

I keep thinking about Remy and what we did.  I liked it. A lot. Then I feel gulity and horrible. Do you know how hard it would be to come out? How much it would hurt my family?
How much would it hurt Jen? I feel terrible. Like a fucking asshole. What am I gonna do? What should I do? What does everyone think? Please. I'm desperate.

Not coming out to your friends and family will hurt YOU far more than it will ever hurt them babe!  But I think you should have full on sex with a guy, before you actually make that decision! Rich xxx

I greatly admire you writing such a story. I understand your situation. We all have gone through this one time or the other. You know that you like girls but you have this attraction for the swame sex. I was this confused when I was younger then you. Then again, I had no one to explain these things to me like they are3 being explained to you. You like many boys/men have an attraction for the same sex. Some experement. But later in life choose to marry and have a family. Some change totally and stick to having a relationship with the same sex. It doesn't make you a freak or anything like that. yes we are all tought what is normal and what isn't. But what is being normal? The feelings you have is something every teen goes through. I don't believe you need to stand up on your kitchen table and announce to your family that you are gay when you are not sure if you are or if you are bi. Why hurry. I agree with my friend m8form8. Take your time and think over things. Don't go rushing into anything. You have to like yourself first before you expect someone to like who you are. Again I say, some of us have gone through the same feelings and sometimes when there's no one who can help us explain these feelings we get down on ourselves. I know for I have been there. You have already taken the step to tell others about what had happened and to let us know that you need some help. That is good. The next step like I said is to look inside your heart and see what it tells you. Don't right away try to put a label on yourself. All this creates is problems and more pain inside. Keep smiling and know that people like me care about you and support you. Take care friend! ANLEE

Hey son, dont be so hard on yourself (no pun intended) life is never straight forward and when I was your age I felt exactly the same way. Terrified of what I got turned on by! I know looking back i was in love with my bestmate and i remember my embarisment when i got a stiffy in the showers with him at the swimming pool. But it was much harder for me because he didnt. He was also homophobic as hell so i had to pretend it was not his beautiful arse that had me turned on but a girl id seen in the pool.
As a teenager you are finding your way in life and growing up to be your own man. From what you say your family is pretty anti gay stuff and that is often because they share revulsion about it mainly because former generations always said it was wrong and a sin. But the reality is things are not as clear cut as they thought in years gone by. Without going into things at length homosexuality is not the sin people have been taught it is. It will be very hard for your family to change its perspective, but at the end of the day you will still be their son gay..straight or bisexual. Parents can only bring kids up to the best of their ability and often want for their kids the things they value, but the problem is life is not like that and you have to find your own values in life. If you find your attracted to other boys/guys then supressing it will only make you warped and distressed inside. Trying to dismiss it and lead what is called a normal life can often hurt girls as well, and marrying trying to be what your not will distroy someone elses life..hers!
What you need to do is to find your own views not your parents ones, and you will only do this by thinking things through. You say you have a girlfriend, well all lads of your age do because it is the expected thing, but often it is a just about wanting to conform to steriotypes from our parents.
Your journey of life has made you realise that another guy does it for you and that in itself is not wrong for you. Perhaps you could try talking to him and explaining why you ran off when all he was doing was expressing his attraction like you were, but he seems more at ease with it that you.
Do not go trying to work out how to deal with your parents wishes and girlfriends until you can deal honestly with your own desires. Take life one step at a time and discover what is right for you. It will take time for you to be at ease with something you have always viewed as wrong due to your upbringing. Maybe try to talk and learn with the guy who is on your mind. I expect he will have similar problems as well with his family, and feelings. Having a bit of fun with him and discovering about yourself and about him will be good for you both. Unless you try it and you have an ideal opportunity with him to do so, you will only make it more difficult for yourself to discover if you are gay, bi or maybe that you needed to experiement with the unknown before being able to make a judgement that it is not really you. Just play safelty and if it gets to the point when you have penetrative sex use a condom unless you are totally sure the guy your with is safe enough to not do so with, and that in general is in a relationship of more than a couple of months..
Best..
