    OK, this is probably a mistake but here goes.

    I'm a straight guy (thus far). Occationally I get the urge to cross the line and experiment with a fella, but I've never even come close to doing it. The shitty part of it is that in between urges to be with a man, I feel disgusted with myself and with the idea. I doubt its some religious doctrine buried within me, cuz I've shed that years ago. I can't figure out whats up with me.
    Why am I so flip-flopy?

    its interesting you brought up the religion, you may rationally know that the doctrine is wrong, but emotionally is another matter, we need more info if you want us to reflect on this with you

    Your so right about the religon. Its damn hard to be completely rid of a way of thinking when 28 of your 31 years were lived under those ideas. Christianity may play a role in my issue. The weirdest part is how great is seems one day, and then so forign the next.
    I guess I just want to know if its for me or not. I've already discussed it with my wife, who I'd never want to decieve. If we can work out a situation in which I can explore without lieing to her, maybe I'll give it a whirl.

    unless your already in an open relationship (by that I mean you and your girlfriend have sex outside the relationship) telling your girlfriend you are curious about men and would like to give it a go could be enough to destroy the relationship.
    suggesting you have a 3 some with you and another man, but not being totally open about why would also be a bad idea, as I think during it, should she agree she would probably work out that you are attracted to the other man.

    so tread carefully if you do not want to loose your present relationship

    Yeah, I'm not going to do anything to disrupt my marriage. But she does know about my curiosities. maybe just some camming :)

    All joking aside, I am serious about this.
    There is a guy here who is also straight, but we've been PMing and we may try some camming. I hope he's not upset or hurt if it dosn't work, and vise versa.
    Man, you gotta love the internet. What would I have done fifteen years ago?
    Who knows?

    please dont be confused about your situation. if its not really who you are graciously decline, take it as a compliment and know you are a person in this world who is accepting and loving towards all people.

    I know I would.

    Most people TRY sex with the same sex. Myself included.
    I call myself Bi because I did get pleasure out of my own experiences.
    I wouldn't worry about your feelings, until they get to the point that
    they will get you in trouble somehow.
    Only YOU can decide what is or isn't to your tastes. But NEVER! And I DO mean NEVER feel BAD about the person you are.
