I'll try to keep it simple, i have dated only women in my life but I think i might actually be gay. (I'm 26). I currently have a girlfriend. I was wondering if anyone has had the experience of realizing they were gay, as in man who likes men.Did any of you struggle with feelings of intense shame that were also very erotic and somewhat addictive? Intrusive thoughts, compulsive masturbating/ porn that you tried to hide?Did you know you were gay from the first time you had gay sex or does it take a long time?
