A Whole New World!
Oh my literal and actual golly goodness! Why the hell did nobody tell me all about this before? I’ve been trying to look it up online since discovering it and can’t find an awful lot written about it, if at all, that is similar or the same as my experience!

Adapting in the Closet! Part 2
Mother spots early internet activity My first experience of gay pornography came when I was 12 years old. We had just gotten our first desktop PC and installed the internet. I have no idea how I found the images that I did, but I was certainly very glad that I did so! A particular image became imprinted on my mind: two guys sitting on the floor with their legs facing each other and cocks touching. It blew my mind!

Adapting in the closet! Part 1
They say your childhood shapes you, and looking at my less-than-perfect shape now, I can definitely see what it did to me! As a child, one of the taunts that really used to upset me was "You sound like a girl!" and other variations like "You're a girl!", "Why do you always play with the girls?", or "I have every right to pick on you because you're a poof!"

When can I start living?
Welcome As I sit here and begin to write this story, I find myself at a crossroads. On the verge of unleashing my true self, and yet not quite able or brave enough to do so. I’ve actually been feeling this way for quite some time and even think I might feel the same when I look back next year! I’m going to explore the reasons why I might feel this way and hopefully make some positive connections within a supportive online community.
