My oldest, 13, and I have had many "in general" sex talks. But he's given me no indication one way or the other, than me finding one of my 20 year old Playboys in his room lol. Sorry that you feel apprehension about this. And hope that your folks are more compassionate and open than you feel they might be. But you know them more than I. --- I think I need a drink.

I didn't think you were gay but it would make sense since you seemed to hate having sex with girls a lot You know, idk. I like girls more. I can relate and talk to them more, and I'm actually pretty solid about getting a first date with them. But the few girls I've had sex with I didn't particularly enjoy. I mean it obviously felt good, but I wasn't as into it as I think I was supposed to be? I've not done it, but I think I might strongly prefer sex with men - I just don't have the desire to be in a relationship with one.

Literally the best way to tell them is by bringing your boyfriend/fiance to Thanksgiving. I like this idea. But do it with a trap and be like, guys guess what? Like bring a boy who is actually a girl, or the other way around? Either way, this would definitely be a fun Christmas A guy who dresses and looks like a girl. On a serious note, I wish you luck with whatever you decide to do, it sounds like you and your family are pretty close.

Cruddy_horse 04/05/17 12:46:33 AM #38:	I wouldn't tell them, not because they might be against it or whatever but because it's not that important. I mean does it really matter if they know what/who you're into? Enough to warrant telling them in what will be an awkward conversation? I find the idea of "coming out" to be kind of stupid, unless there's a really good reason to somehow. I haven't told mine for these reason. But I understand that you might be feeling some anxiety or whatever. --- equo ne credite! <cite>Cruddy_horse posted [p:876566398] in I'm thinki...

PK_Spam 04/05/17 1:02:27 AM #40:	It's your own choice at the end of the day. Are you still living with them? That's why I haven't told my folks yet. Plus the fact they they'll probably be upset for a little bit that their "golden child" is the only one who isn't gonna give them any grandkids. Try telling your friends first. It's easier that way. And you'll have a backup plan in case your parents freak out. --- "I dont know If I believe in it, real lasting happiness, All those perky, well-adjusted people you see in movies and TV shows ?
