Hey, gents and ladies and whichever terms you prefer to be called.

Let me just start off in the beginning so you all know the full story. I’m about 19 y/o, in the military and straight-ish- or at least i thought so. I had an encounter with a neighbour of mine, whom I’ve known ever since i moved out of my parents 2 years ago. He’s always been nice, was the first to greet me when i moved in the neighbourhood, somehow we clicked. We liked similar stuff- football, making cocktails, architecture, and definitely going and checking out new pubs here and there. We’ve hit it off the first few months even though he was waaayy older than me; he was 37 years old, quite good looking for that age he seemed to have a gym body. He has a wife and 3 kids, roughly the same age as me, from 19 to 23. He’d always come over and play playstation with me if he’d ever need a break from his family (say- just an alone time with a company) and i’ve always welcomed him as he never overstayed his stay and always cleaned up for himself. He even cooks sometimes when he feels like it, hey it’s free lunch.

But that’s all fun and amazing and i’ve always looked up to him. I’ve ranted to him, gave him all my problems and he’d never fail to give me great advice. It’s as if he’s like master Oogway if you’ve ever watched Kung-Fu Panda. One day though, he and his wife had this small argument which his wife took a big deal out of. She took the kids and told him they’d be staying at her mum’s for the next day(s) or so. He came knocking at my door at night, saying if he could come in and have a drink- it was nearing 12am on a Saturday night. As weird as it was, he’d never done that before so being a good mate of his, I said sure. I had a bunch of liquor from home because I liked to make cocktails; as i’ve mentioned before. We drank the night and he explained what happened, basically tearing up whilst telling his story. I’ve calmed him down at some point but he just kept on drinking and I was getting worried sick since i’ve never seen him like this before. I decided that he’d had enough about quarter to 3 in the morning so I told him i’d help him home and he should sleep it off through the night. But he pulled me in forehead to forehead and out eyes interlocked. He’s stopped crying but this took me by surprise. I didn’t know what was about to happen but i let it seeing that his drunk. He went in for a kiss, and i pushed him away, cause i was confused. he fell off the chair and I looked at him with confusion. He then stood up, and apologised- i said sorry too. But he didn’t stop there, he came on towards me and held me on the shoulders then proceeded to call me an attractive person, he’d always found me sexy apparently and he was glad he’d met someone like me to get through him at this time. I didn’t move, and was looking at his lips; thinking about how those lips were just on mine a couple of seconds ago- next thing i know he went him again for a kiss but this time i didn’t stop him. I just let him kiss me and the next thing i know he’s hand was inside my shorts but the question going through my head was- why was I getting hard? He stroked me slowly and I froze at that spot. I thought to myself- ‘was i liking this?’. It continued on as it advanced to something new. I had a couple of drinks myself which i blamed for how i was feeling. From the living room, went to bed and it went without saying anything. Just pure making out and having fun. We jerked each other off, his hand on my cock and my hand on his, and he then sucked me off. It felt so fucking amazing. Now i’ve had loads of experiences with women, and it never felt so good at a guy’s mouth. We both climaxed and i came in his mouth whilst he came on my chest. It was an experience i thought i’d never like.

We cleaned up afterwards with a towel but as we both intoxicated, we drifted off to sleep on my bed, naked. I woke up the next day my head on him and he had his arm wrapped on me and mine on him (i usually sleep with hugging a bolster). I panicked at that moment, I had a GUY on my bed and he was a close friend whose my neighbour Naked. I creeped out of bed thinking my next move but nothing- i put on my clothes and headed downstairs and my first instinct was to make brekkie. He then woke up 15 minutes later but that’s probably because of the smell of the food and he was half naked. We stared at each other saying nothing. He apologised afterwards, saying he was black out drunk and wasn’t sure what he was doing but i dismissed it and said i vaguely remember it and just told him we’d never talk about it, like it never happened. I was confused myself and i didn’t want this to be an awkward thing especially since he’s my neighbour. He left afterwards and we haven’t spoken to each other until yesterday night he shoots me a message ‘Can we talk?’ and i haven’t responded. I don’t know how or what to do, I liked the experience but i’m sure as hell not sure if that makes me gay or not.

I posted this here as I was searching for people with the same thing as me (though i’d doubt it) on google, and came across the LPSG page which had forums so i thought this would be the perfect place to get someone’s opinion and advice. I’m sorry if i’ve taken your time with reading this.
 
... well, he's a married man who had kids early... (oldest is 23, that means he had a kid at 15 if he is indeed 37)

if you can talk things out with his wife he can still be in the picture for his kids, and you won't be a homewrecker...

involving him, you should talk, you should say that while you did have a good time, and while he is attractive, and while you'd love to do that again (maybe more), this is quite messy, and needs to be sorted some before continuing. It's a good idea to say that you're still his friend and Neighbor.

as for being a fully blown (haha) homosexual man: no. Unless you are no longer interested in women romantically and sexually, you're a man who has been sexual with both women and a man. The closest label that you could want to use is Bisexual, and that's still incredibly broad.
 
I wouldn’t worry about your sexuality. The real issue here is that you’re hooking up with someone who’s having marital problems.

Unfortunately, based on the way you described this, I would steer clear of him. You don’t necessarily need to ghost him (since he’s your neighbor after all) but you should tell him it was a mistake and won’t happen again. And make sure he sticks to it: if he’s going to get drunk, he’ll need to do that someplace else. Otherwise it’s going to be a recipe for disaster.

Having said that, there’s nothing wrong with a hookup with someone who’s single with no strings attached. You do need to be careful so you don’t put yourself in bad situations. But if you want to figure out what you like, by all means go on a few test drives! You’re at an age where a lot of people sow their wild oats,

I agree with Stratavos: it sounds like you may be bi, but don’t worry about the label. What really matters is what you like (both physically and emotionally) and only you can figure that out. You don’t really need to label yourself at all, but if you do choose to label yourself, just pick whichever feels right!

Statistically most people are a shade of bisexual. You are probably closer to the straight end of the spectrum. Your sexuality doesn't really change per se, more that over time you become more self aware of what your preferences really are.

Who you have sex with doesn't change who you are. It's not like some zombie/vampire/werewolf movie where you get bitten and then you become something different. You can at any point decide sex with other guys is not really for you and not do it ever again.

Your friend is having a hard time. So as a friend you should give him the opportunity to talk. He's probably upset that he's ruined your friendship. Given his struggles with his wife he may also be in need of a friend.

Hey Stratavos, Thanks for the reply. My mistake, he’s 47, not 37, that’s my bad. I do know the wife, but not as well as him. I’ve been invited to their place a couple of times and we’ve had conversations but she’s never shown any more interest on getting to know each other. But maybe you’re right, she deserves the right to know- but although i feel as if it’s not my position to tell her but his. I think it’d ruin whatever they have if i did.

I’m not sure how to respond to him. As much as i did like it, and yes you’re right, maybe explore more of it- i’m scared to. My relatives, family are quite conservative and I grew up in a Christian household where being gay was looked down upon, and disgraced. Although i’ve never had a problem with gay people, I’m not sure of becoming one- even to consider myself as a Bi person.

P.s, good blow pun. that was funny.

Thanks Briacon429 for replying. Maybe you’re right about keeping it off for now. Although I can’t keep ignoring his as he is my neighbour, you’re right about that too. But deep inside me I do want to be there for him, to keep him company with his current problem he is facing with his family. He’s been there on my lows and helped me, encouraged me and I want to return that favour- especially now.

Do you think it’ll be okay if we met up to talk about it? or do you think- because if what happened, it will be awkward and probably not get anything settled? He’s a responsible person and i’m sure it was just him being drunk and not meaning any of it.

But as i’ve replied before, I’m not sure if continuing this path is a good thing for me; although curious as I am, my family would never approve of this. But doing whatever we did the other day, it was something that got me wanting to try it again with someone, specifically him. I don’t know how else i could find someone to do it with- or even yet, be comfortable to do it with someone i don’t know.

Hey Brodie888, I agree with your phrase. I’ve always never thought of anyone being straight- just having presences; regardless of me growing up in a christian household. Although i’ve always had found attractiveness in women, had sex with women, so having something to do with a guy is new and scary yet intriguing as to why I liked it.

I’ve thought about it that way, being there for him especially now that he’s having problems with his wife. I wanna be there like how he was for me when i needed someone. But i just wouldn’t know how i can do that without seeing his face and remembering what we did. Heck i wouldn’t even know if i can look at him properly cause when i saw him having his run at one point, first thing that came to mind was ‘i’ve seen him naked, i know how he looks like under those clothes’ and that’s something that’ll be bad to think about the next time i’m there next to him face to face.
 
My sister made a point of not introducing soft drink to her kids because it was her belief that it's bad for them.

Then one day the kids came home from a birthday party saying they didn't want water they wanted lemonade. Water was fine for them when they didn't know any different.

So for you, just sex with women was fine too, but having tried something else, you now know that you could enjoy either.

It's only scary because it's new, I'm sure you would have had nerves the first few times with a woman.

The religious thing is common. It's a conditioning thing you've been brainwashed into believing gay sex is a sin. I personally don't get why God would make gay people if he didn't intend for them to be happy being with the people they love.

You are free to believe what you wish but people these days have no issues with sex before marriage and other such sins so it seems a bit odd to be okay break some and feeling bad about breaking others that do no harm to anyone.

I completely get where you’re coming from, especially wanting to be there for him. You’re probably right that being drunk was a major factor, but that doesn’t change what a person likes; it just lowers your inhibitions. In other words, he probably wanted to suck your dick when he was sober, even if the alcohol got him to go through with it. And the same is true for you too: your own drinking probably unlocked desires of your own.

Anyway, I don’t think now is the time to be returning any favors. If his wife or kids find out what happened, or if either of you develop feelings for each other, that’s going to create complications that won’t end well.

You mentioned your family situation but didn’t go into detail. I know that can be a sensitive subject, so if you want to chat privately about it, feel free to DM me. But in my experience, the first big hurdle is figuring out what you like and acknowledging it to yourself. Only afterward can you start thinking about how to approach it with friends or family. But you may be surprised how many people have gone down a path like yours. So for what it’s worth, I’m happy to share whatever advice I can— just let me know!
 
hey man, i know its a tricky situation and honestly i totally get why youre so distraught by it all. my honest opinion is honestly to talk it out with him, obviously its weighing on both you and him. and just because he has a family, keep it between you two and honestly dont let it happen with him again just because he does have kids you know? if you ever want to experiment and venture through it all, theres nothing wrong in experimenting, maybe you might have an interest in guys maybe you dont? experimenting to see whats really going on is okay! i know we dont know eachother like that, but i know sometimes things like this will weigh heavy on your mind, feel free to text me im open to hear you vent and ill give you some feedback and just be hear to talk. youre not alone in this brotha

He has been quite close every time we’d watch the game at my place but i’ve always thought it was just him being brotherly. And maybe at one point he’s looked at me in the eye when i told him i was self conscious about how i looked and he gave me the most stern compliment saying ‘You’re attractive, good body, amazing personality and you have such a cute face. I’d date you if i was a girl.’ (that stuck by me cause it’s the best compliment i’ve ever received). And i dismissed that as just him being a friendly mate.

As for my family, it’s not much of a sensitive topic. I was never close to my family but being in a christian household, it’s always been following what the bible has to teach and all that shit. But never did i really relate to it- i just learnt and attended it for the sake of my parents. I’d be comfortable to answer any questions honestly.

Hey Garciajack018, I’m honestly just confused by it all, I’ve never done anything with a guy- yet alone someone much older than me. And yet i liked every bit of it, not disgusted at all. I guess it does weigh on both of us because i’ve seen him one or two times coming home, but we’ve never said anything. just a nod and we continue on our own day- it just caught me off guard when he messaged me saying he wanted to talk.

But yes, i think there needs to be more experimentation but i’m not sure if i’d be comfortable with doing that with a stranger- i like to think i was able to do it because i’ve known him for quite some time. Maybe it’s the connection but i can never be sure. Hope you get where i’m coming from.
 
If you don't talk you'll never get it out of your head, and if you don't talk what'll you do to him as a neighbour - cut him?
You need to know if its a one time event, decide if you wat it to be more, if he wants it to be ore - in other words get the facts, but as he's married its a cross he will always bear, kids.
Its totally possible to be bi, screw the ladies and screw or be screwed, the guys.
Sorry dude, handsome as you are it does sound like he's groomed you a bit and the wife going away bit the trigger to get your attention.
Regardless the air needs to be cleared.

I honestly do see where youre coming from, Ive felt the same way and i do think its because of the connection. I feel like with any other stranger it feels way out of place, but since there was a stronger connection i feel like everything was easier for you, but hey man everything will be alright just talk things out.

He clearly likes you, and evidently you like him too (both sexually and otherwise). If it weren’t for the wife and kids, I’d say go for it. But under the circumstances, you need to tread VERY carefully with him.

For what it’s worth, I come from a Christian family too, and my folks have always been supportive. So it may turn out fine! But I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be, because I was there once too. I also know Christian families come in a lot of different forms, so a lot depends on exactly how your family operates.

Are you in an area that’s gay-friendly? If so, that can make things easier on multiple fronts. But even if not, you may be surprised at the support you find.

I forgot to mention: at this point you don’t need to tell your family anything. Right now your focus should be on figuring this out for yourself, so try not to worry about anything else. I know that can be easier said than done, but I would put off any family concerns till you’re ready.

maybe, maybe you’re right. maybe he did groom me out with his wife leaving and whatnot. I’m going to respond to him tonight. And then see what wants- but tbh on my side I kind of want to explore more with him, as i’m comfortable with him. But yes, as wrong as it is to do so- i’m not sure i can have the fact going up on me that he has kids as well so.. i’m not really sure what to do.

As a male Masseur of 20 years I've heard this story 1000 times.
There's no such thing as ' gay' sex, there's just 'sex'
Having sex with a man DOES NOT make you gay.
Most men have had same sex experiences and go back to their lives as normal.
For centuries men have given eachother a 'helping hand' when they can't get it at home.
Woman are intimate with eachother all the time and they don't get confused at all so why should men? In Eastern cultures and the South Pacific what happened to you is completely normal, people just accept men are like this.
It will probably happen again so enjoy it!
