View Full Version : New guy saying hi...

So I always think is wierd to just start responding to topics without a proper introduction so please allow me to introduce myself...
I guess there's no better way to introduce myself to a group of bisexuals than by telling the story of my self-acceptance if its too long and boring feel free to ignore it
It didn't take me long after the onset of that shitty developmental stage that science terms adolesence that I started to notice other guys. As I'm sure many of you have, I spent much of my adolescence worrying about whether I was gay, hoping I wasn't and feeling reassured every time I had a sexual thought towards a girl that at least I wasn't totally gay. In college I began to come to terms with my desire for guys, and was almost resolved to to call myself gay when I met and fell in love with the woman who would eventually call my wife. She and my best friend at the time were the first people I came out to as bi, and she was the first woman I had sex with. At first I was just happy to be in a relationship where I could exhibit my sexuality as "normal," I was glad to seem straight and perfectly happy to keep my feelings for guys to myself. I used to like the invisibility of being bisexual.
But the older I've gotten, and the more secure in myself I've become, the more I've found my sexual desire for guys becoming a prominant aspect of my sexuality...something changed in me where I really accepted how much I love male sexuality, how much I want to share sexuality with other men. This has been both a liberating and trying experience, but has lead my wife and I to define our relationship as polyamorous.
I identify as queer now, I am sick of trying to define my sexuality, If everybody could lighten up about sex and just be honest and open with one another this world would be a much better place to live.
Sexuality aside, I'm a 24 year old guy living in Portland oregon...I have a lot of interests, I study both eastern and western medicine, but am in school for acupuncture and east asian medicine. I ski, I do martial arts/combat sports, I am into metaphysics, spirituality and science. I'm also into other stuff.
I'm really excited to find this site, I've been looking for a place like this for a while...please hit me up anytime to say hi or whatever...
Sorry if thats a long introduction...I can be longwinded sometimes.

Hey Doc! Welcome to our little corner of the world! This place has become a second home to many of us. I hope that you find what you're looking for here.
It sounds like you and I have a great deal in common. I'm working on my Master's in herbalism from the Australasian College of Health Sciences there in Portland. I have been contemplating the study of accupuncture and eastern herbalism for years. I'd love to hear about your experience in that respect.
I hear what you're saying about labels. Just be yourself and let the labels take care of themselves.
Take care.

Your intro is fine but it would be nice if you would finish your profile too. As you said the teenage years were akward but defining I enjoy my adult life much better. Thanks for being here and opening up.

Hello and welcome to our little hangout,
It sounds like we have some things in common as I myself am very much into metaphysics alternative healing and Shamanism.
Feel free to holler at me if you'd like to talk. Take a look around the place and try not to spend too much time glued to your computer lol, there are a lot of wonderful free thinkers here and I'm sure you'll feel right at home. Be sure to invite your wife's presence as well, we have many spouses of all orientations here and they do much to enrich the community experience.
Again, Glad that you found us and welcome~

Hey Dr., :shades:
"Strangelove... strange highs and strange lows Strangelove that's how our love goes" Sorry I had to get that out of my system, I love Depeche Mode.
Anyway, hey and welcome. I look forward to your perspective and insights, and completed profile. :bigrin:
BTW: Any relation to Dr. Feelgood? :bigrin:

Doc, take my advice...don't walk, run for the nearest exit pronto. Everyone on this site should be under heavy sedation and be kept away from heavy machinery! I've never met a more eclectic collection of witches, pagans, neo-liberals, philosophers, eccentric housewives, privates-shavers, and just old fashioned, constantly horny, shit disturbers.
Sounds like you'll fit right in. Welcome.

BTW Doc, judging by the number or respondents in the 'Piss' thread, I should have added the urine-aholics as part of the inclusive group on this site. As Tiny Tim said, "God bless us every one".

Stanleypark... you're spose to give the doc a couple months to figure this all out! how are we gonna get him addicted to the site, before we sink the teeth in otherwise?? heheheee!! :tong:
Dr. Strangelove which discipline of martial arts do ya practice? have ya ever watched the DVD "What The Bleep Do We Know?'? and which needles do i use to make me and my family fabulously wealthy? :cool:

Hehehe, thanks for all the warm welcomes :tong: I think I like this place.
Sol, I do Brazillian jiujitsu and western kickboxing, but I've also studied aikido and practice qigong and yoga, so in other words i'm fairly eclectic in how I train in the martial arts. I really identify with the philosophy of aikido, though, and see myself training in that spirit no matter where I practice. Thanks for asking.

Bienvenidos Doc...whoops sorry just got done listening to "Oh Mickey" the Spanish version. That is, Welcome.
This is a wonderful place and it is obvious from what you have said thus far that you are a fabulously open person who we are dying to know more about. I always say chat freely and post often and you will amass friends faster than you can say "This site changed my life."
luv and kisses,
