>Part of a successful relationship is opening up to someone and being vulnerable. Sharing those secrets you wouldn’t share with others.

Thank you for pointing that out. This is my first relationship. I'm still learning how to be 100% comfortable sharing parts of me that I don't usually share. I completely agree with you. I want my gf to be in my life for as long as possible, and if I want our love to last long term, then I need to get used to being vulnerable from time to time. I think I'm gonna tell her.

If I had to put a label on it, I would probably pick bi. I feel like my sexuality is for me to know and for everyone else to learn about me if I'm comfortable sharing that part of me. My sexual attraction towards guys has had no impact on my relationship with my gf. I'm romantically and sexually attracted to her. We're both pro porn in our relationship, so it's not a big secret that I watch porn when she's not present. She does the same. Gay porn gets me off as much as straight porn. Last night just happened to be a gay porn night. That being said, now that my parents know, I do feel pressured to tell my gf about it.

I don't blame them to be honest. I've been trying to figure out who I am for years and I still don't really know what makes me me. But I've had time to live with the questions and find some of the answers, whereas my mom and dad had to discover and absorb all of that information about me by accident 17 years later. I can understand how that can be a lot for some parents to process, so I can forgive them for being weird, as long as it's not forever.

Lol I can't even imagine how my mom would've reacted if I said that. I could tell when she asked that question how completely baffled she was at the realization that it's possible for guys to physically have sex with each other. I don't think she ever thought about it or seen it until she got exposed to my porn.
