I don't normally frequent forums, but I've had an incident which has freaked me about pretty badly and I'm desperate for advice or words of wisdom. Me and this couple went to a gay bar since we thought it might be funny and it was conveniently close to where we were. They left, I stayed for one more drink because I was having a good time dancing. Well, one drink turned into many and I ended up meeting this guy. We made out, and ended up in a 'dark room'(without protection). I strongly believe this would not have happened without alcohol(im not an alcoholic, i just had a few too many) Now, I'm straight, I've had gay thoughts before, but they were just a passing curiosity never to be revisited. I know now that I'm 100% straight. However, this experience has completely freaked me out. I want to sprint to the doctor for a battery of tests, I feel dirty for going outside what I consider normal(since im straight). Am I alone in this train of thought? Have other straight guys had similar experiences? How do you deal with an incident such as this? Is this normal? Please help!
Trust Me, 100% Straight Bois Do Not End Up In Dark Rooms At Gay Bars, Regardless Of How Drunk They Are... If They Are Sober Enough To Stand On Two Feet, They Are Sober Enough To Say...NO THANKS.. Cheers Glen.
Live and learn. If you do not hold your drinks right, watch your drinking. Worse things can happen. Do not beat yourself over this. Proverbial shit happens. If you learned from this experience, chalk it off to the growing pains, and move on. If you go back to any dark room, start reconsidering your own definition of being 100% straight. You are well-aware of what's going on there, and there is little virtue in being self-delusional about this. KD
with the way you keep asserting that you're straight it might give off an impression that that isn't entirely true. you might identify as straight, doesn't mean you are. and frankly, straight guys don't end up in a dark room with another guy at a gay bar. sorry. i suggest you do some self-searching not repress every 'passing curiosity' that you don't agree with, or are afraid of. you might ask yourself why you ever had those thoughts in the first place. just a piece of advice. up to you what to do with it.
i think you should definitely go and get tested. just go to a clinic and ask for the routine STI check.. and ask for a blood test to check for HIV and HepC Although, since this was a recent encounter you will need to get retested in a few months and it usually takes some time for any virus to show up. in the future please save urself the worry and use condoms! As for being straight... i think u need to stop worrying. we are all able to be flexible in our sexuality. its human nature. personally i think experimentation is great! im happy that you took a chance and tried something new! same gender sex can be a really nice new experience. i know pleanty of straight guys who do what you did. i think its great! now as for some advice: this was a one night stand, right? and im sure u have had one night stands with pleanty of women, right? and when u had a one night stand with a woman did you feel any different about urself after? did you aquire a new sexuality from the experience?.. of course not. So, why is this experience any different. a one night stand is a one night stand no matter how or with whom you did it. personally, as long as ur just fucking with guys and not dating them, i dont think u need to worry about joining the next gay pride parade. x i hope this helped
