Need Advice I'm a bi dude. I'm also Christian. I'm scared.

0 Upvotes

Yeah. I've been uncloseted for a few years now and am trying to get closer with God kind of recently. I am well aware that the Bible says that having sex with another man is a sin. To add on, I also have a heavy preference towards other guys.

My two closest friends are both Christian as well, one much more than the other. One of them says it's just like any other sin and that it is likely it will happen at some point and we should ask for forgiveness if and when it happens. The other has kind of refrained from commenting, which is part of the reason I write this.

I don't want to ignore the word of God, but I don't know what other choice I have other than abstinence. Help?

Do yall think I’m trans or just making it up

0 Upvotes

Hey so this is an alt account that I probably accidentally made like several months ago while I was trying to sign into my main account and just haven’t done anything with, but I’m not ready for this whole am I trans situation to be on my main account so I’m just using this one. I hope that’s ok. I’ll probably get blocked for it on most places I post to though…

So I’ve always thought of myself as a cis straight guy. its Sunday Aug 31st 2026 at the time of writing this and a few days ago, like Thursday evening I think, I was playing Powerwash simulator because I like to think while I play, and I was just thinking about various things and at one point I started thinking about trans people and how scary things must be for them politically (I’m American from a Republican dominated state for context) and I guess I just wanted to walk a mile in those shoes

and so I imagined myself transitioning and like talking to a therapist and going and using she/her with friends and experimenting with like feminine clothes and makeup and stuff, and the image just felt weirdly happy? like calming and warm somehow idk. And from that moment on I just haven’t really been able to stop thinking about it. Like 24/7 since then. Also, yesterday, I looked up the effects of hrt and it sounds really nice and comforting like honestly I would love to have that. But like does that mean anything because if you had asked a week ago, I would’ve said I didn’t want it, but now I kind of do like lowkey and this is really embarrassing to say but maybe growing breasts would be nice…

And I guess there’s a few things that may point in that direction even before this but I don’t know if they’re all that significant but I’ll try to give a list of them I guess:

So I don’t think I’ve ever been like “I’m definitely a girl” or anything throughout my life. Like I’ve never really thought about myself as anything other than a guy. But throughout my life the further I would imagine myself in the future and the less connections there were to my current life, the more likely I’d think of myself as a woman idk. Like if I imagined myself being a parent one day, my imagination would kinda just “default” to being a mom. And I usually didn’t notice, but when I did, I would be embarrassed and switch it to being a dad, and I guess it felt less happy like all the color would drain out of it that way.

I cross dressed for like four or five months probably when I was like 11.

I’ve never really liked being called sir or man and honestly I just use “guy” for myself because it doesn’t feel as like “harsh” and “solid”? Like I don’t love guy either but I really hate the idea of being a full-on man.

I don’t have dysphoria like I don’t hate my body or anything. I mean I don’t like my chest hair buy other than that I’m fine with my body I guess. It’s there, it is what it is. That’s how I feel about it.

I will say though that I felt ever since like I was a preteen and it got worse over time that I felt like I “never really met myself” but that feeling never pointed out gender. Like it wasn’t “I’ve never really met myself when I think of myself as a man” but when I think of myself as a woman it does get a lot better idk.

I guess you can ask about more stuff but that’s all I can think of right now.

Also please give me benefit of the doubt because I’ve never really known that many queer people so I might say the wrong things and also I’m nervous as hell for the replies so Im gonna try to be measured but in reality I’m far off the deep end of everything I’ve ever known so yeah. Also I’m gonna give myself probably an hour break or more before I look at or respond to anything because this was a big scary one to type, so please give me that time and be patient with me sorry.

Am I bisexual or just lesbian?

0 Upvotes

Ever since I was young I was attracted to girls. Feminine girls. But there were and still are a minority of guys i was attracted to too. But those guys are always Feminine. And remind me of women. I'm grossed out by the idea of a masculine man. And have always had more female crushes than boys. Am I really just a lesbian?

I’m a lesbian but just had a sex dream about a man? What's that all about?

11 Upvotes

I've mostly gotten them about women before, and maybe once or twice about men back when I was in my early adolescence performing heterosexuality. But recently I got one about a famous actor, who is both 45+ years my senior and hasn't starred in anything this year for me to be thinking about him. It was strange because it was unlike a normal sex dream where it was mostly action. We were just lying in bed talking a very long time, having an intellectual conversation about history and literature, and then he started to touch me and go down on me, and that's when I woke up.

Also have to mention that I don't think I've had a celebrity crush in my life, so even the famous part is a little new to me too.

Is this odd?

Confused about my sexuality

0 Upvotes

(long paragraph, don't care then don't read, it's probably not for you but anyone else please, I'd love the advice.)

Alright, so I've been pondering quite a lot on this. o I'm a cis woman, and I believe I'm capable of having romantic relationships with any gender but not sexual relationships, for that I guess I don't like cis men. And the only reason I put every gender as romantic is probably because of fictional characters. (But even so just a very few handful) In real life, I don't think I'm capable of feeling any romantic feelings or sexual feelings or relationships beyond platonic towards a cis man.

Conclusion: I don't like dih? (Maybe but again heavily dependent on identity, but I definitely prefer one over the other.)

So it could be that I don't like cis men as a whole (that doesn't include trans men actually which is why I'm specifying) and it's not just about dih, it's also mainly because of the mentality and the way just cis men are. I believe that whatever gender assigned at birth and whether or not you identify with it really affects you, your growth and personality as a whole. That's why I'd personal feel more comfortable dating a AMAB but not cis people than cis men.

(And for anyone assuming, in no way this is coming from a place of hate on cis men. Goodness no. It is simply me trying to find my own identity. I would still love to be friends with cis men.)

So now, what am I? I need a little help because I do want to know and understand my own identity, otherwise I'll keep fussing.

(I've considered biromantic homosexual, but that doesn't quite fit it too much..? Because biromantic still includes cis men. Also thought about Omni and poly but I'm not too sure exactly if they work out.)

And actually because of this dilemma, I was scared to explore and actually thought I was ace but it turns out I just looked the wrong way. Cuz I live in a very conservative society, girls are expected to like boys. But I simply can't bring myself to.

(Oh and I've also considered lesbian but I so really like non-binary, genderfluid, Gender-Neutral ppl etc..)

Ich glaube ich bin eine Queere Maus

0 Upvotes

Hey Leute,

Das ist mein erster Post auf Reddit und mein erster Schritt mich mit meiner Identität auseinander zu setzen.
Vorab: Der Post enthält eine kurze Passage zu meiner bisher gelebten Sexualität. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob das in dieser Form eine Contentwarnung benötigt 🙈

Ich bin 30 Jahre alt und habe bisher als Cis-Mann gelebt. Allerdings spüre ich schon lange eine große Unzufriedenheit in mir und habe mich diesbezüglich vor einigen Monaten in eine Therapie begeben.
Dort lernte ich Skills mich mehr mit meinen Wünschen und Bedürfnissen auseinander zu setzen und fange nun an meine Geschlechtsidentität und meine sexuelle Orientierung zu hinterfragen.

Ich fühle mich nicht mehr Wohl als Mann, bzw. wird mein Verlangen immer größer meine feminine Seite zuzulassen.

Meine Bedürfnisse zur Femininen Seite sind mir eigentlich schon sehr lange bewusst.
Als ich damals anfing Pornos zu schauen (So mit 13/14 schon) habe ich die Mädels gesehen und wollte sein wie Sie. Wollte spüren, was Sie spüren. Ich fing also an Anal zu masturbieren. Immer mit dem Gedanken mich sexuell feminin zu fühlen.
Zeitgleich fühle ich mich am im echten Leben so gar nicht zu Männern hingezogen. Noch nie habe ich einen Mann gesehen und hatte sexuelles oder emotionales Verlangen nach Ihm. Ich hatte bisher immer nur heteronormativen Sex mit Frauen und auch nur Beziehungen mit Frauen.
Ich habe mich einmal von meiner Expartnerin peggen lassen, aber fande das leider nicht so geil. Ich weiß nicht woran es gelegen hat, weil wenn ich es alleine tue, liebe ich es und kann nicht genug bekommen.

Ich habe mittlerweile einige Sexspielzeuge und crossdresse auch in meinen Masturbation Session. Aber nur für mich. Das habe ich bisher noch niemandem gezeigt.
Ich liebe es mir vorzustellen die "schwanzgeile Schlampe" zu sein und genieße es richtig. Ich werde hart, wenn ich den Dildo blase und Ich benutze auch Cages um meinen Penis nutzlos zu machen.

Nun glaube ich meine offenbar lange unterdrückte feminine Seite erkunden zu wollen, Dinge auszuprobieren, wie z.B. meinen Körper mal vollständig zu enthaaren, mich zu schminken, meine Frisur vlt. Femininer zu gestalten, oder mal eine Perücke für den Anfang zu probieren.

Wenn ich mich damit wohlfühle will ich vlt doch versuchen einen Mann, bzw. Mensch mit Penis zu daten, der mit mir macht, was ich mir bei der Selbstbefriedigung so sehr wünsche.

Ich merke grad, dass mich das irgendwie überfordert und mich auch unsicher macht.
Ich war ja nun schließlich 30 Jahre ein hetero Kerl und mein ganzes Leben baut darauf auf. Mein Job und meine aktuelle Beziehung wo es auch schon um Themen wie Familiengründung in wenigen Jahren geht.

Ich habe mich diesbezüglich erst zwei Personen geöffnet: Meiner Therapeutin und meiner Partnerin, mit der ich zusammen lebe.
Meine Partnerin ist mit dieser neuen Info leider total überfordert und ich kann Sie grad nur schlecht einschätzen. Sicher ist aber, dass Sie sich eine Beziehung mit einem Mann wünscht und Familie gründen will.
Und das macht mich unsicher: Ich weiß aktuell nur, dass ich unzufrieden bin und unbefriedigte Bedürfnisse erforschen will, aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich am Ende nicht doch trans bin und dann keine Zukunft mehr mit meiner Partnerin habe.

Ich hoffe hier Leute zu finden, die meine Situation vlt verstehen und mir helfen können, oder Impulse für mich finden.

Need Advice Proper nmlnm identify

1 Upvotes

So, ive been thinking about sexualities lately, and i can’t find a fitting one. See, i identify as genderfae (going between non binary and feminine genders but never masculine) and i am only interested in non men (non binary spectrum and women), so i am 100% nmlnm. but i also agree that calling lesbianism nmlnm instead of wlw is watering down the label and centering it around men, because why isn’t gay nwlnw? but there isn’t really an sexual for nmlnm. i’ve been thinking about using sunset lesbian, referring to the current lesbian flag rhat was made to include other gender identitie, and i wanted to know people’s thoughts on that, or if there is a better label for nmlnm.

Need Advice First time dating anyone, paranoia hits hard [lesbian in need of advice]

1 Upvotes

Sooo i have a problem. First the happy news: after 20 years I’m finally dating someone, and she’s awesome! I really like her a lot!

However, in my 20 years of life I’ve experienced a lot of bullying and other problems (like my dad cheating on my mom on multiple occasions for example), people who i thought were my friends secretly hating me etc. this sadly has made me extremely paranoid. There’s constant bad thoughts in my head

“Does she even like me back or is she just pretending?” “Am i just a fling to her?” “Am i being too clingy or obsessive?” “Is she secretly making fun of me?” “Is she sleeping with other people because I don’t want to have sex yet?” “Am i even good enough for her?” “Are these feelings one-sided?”

I know these thoughts are bad and might harm the relationship, but i can’t stop them! It also doesn’t really help that she has a history of many hookups and very short relationships before me. I want to trust her, i want to be good enough for her! But i also feel like i’m too obsessive, too controlling, too clingy. Is this normal? If so how can i make it be better? We’re also both autistic if that helps.

Can you help me please?

Need Advice My dad expects my partner to ask for my hand in marriage... Am I unreasonable for not wanting this?

38 Upvotes

I, 20NB, have been dating my partner, 20NB, for nearly 2 years. I know this is the person I want to marry (I wouldn't be in a relationship with them if I wasn't sure), but my parents hold very traditional Christian values and my dad expects for my partner to ask for my hand in marriage. I fear they will completely shut it down because my partner is nonbinary (male to fem).

Do people still ask for the fathers permission to marry nowadays? Am I unreasonable to want to forgoe this?

EDIT: I fear my church will expect the same. For my partner to ask permission- and I haven't introduced them. And I'm scared to because of us being LGBTQ and I KNOW they will disprove of it. I don't know what to do.

Bisexual can all genders! Happy bisexual month!

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone, Happy bisexual visibility month! Bisexual is attraction to two or more genders. Bisexual people can have a preference, or they can have no preference. Therefore if a bisexual person is attracted to all genders, they can also identify as pansexual (if they have no preference) or omnisexual (if they have a preference). Example: Someone who is attracted to women and bigender people, or someone who is attracted to all nonbinary genders and men. Bisexual people can be attracted to 2, more, all genders and transgender and non-binary people, Bisexual like both and all genders. Bisexual can be with or without a genders preference. Bisexual: Pink represents attention towards the same sex
Purple band symbolizes attention to all genders
Blue stand for attention to the opposite sex
