I'm Just Talking, I Guess
Posted: 05-03-07 13:54pm

So, my last year and a half have been interesting enough. I came out to my girlfriend last summer and told her I'd been having issues with myself, and finally declared myself bi. She was worried for a while that she'd lose my for a guy (and she almost did, I'll admit. Not to a specific guy, but b/c I was curious).
I almost lost her twice b/c I thought I wanted to be with a guy, and I came out to my parents, telling them I was bi (I don't think they believe me still. But if they knew what me and my gf do in bed, they probably would).
My gf has been supportive of me being bi (we use a more comfortable term for her sake- straight with bisexual tendencies, since I've never had sex with a guy).
I guess the thing that bothers me though is myself. See, as much as I enjoy the "normal" guy and girl sex, I still would like to have some more options that I enjoy. I guess what I'm saying is that sometimes, I do stuff by myself that suits my bisexual tendencies, and I feel bad for not telling my gf.
It also bothers me that sometimes, I like to wear women's clothing, and I don't tell my gf about that either. I told her about that, and she was comfortable with it, as long as it was only once in a while. I haven't done it for nearly five months now, but I'd like to do it a little more often. Like I said, I do it secretly when I'm at my house, but I guess I feel bad not telling her, because she'll start wondering I guess.
I really do love her, and want to spend the rest of my life with her. I know it makes her a little uncomfortable with the women's clothing thing, but she's fine with my sexuality. So, how do I tell her that I do things in private without making her upset or worried?
Anyone that can help, or has gone through a similar situation from either side, please help me if you can.

I am a straight. I am engaged to a bisexual man. He was out before I began dating him and it never bothered me. He'd kissed men before but that was it. He also does things to himself in private. I'd love to do thing to him actually! Like a strap on, or whatever.

I was never worried of losing him before we were engaged. He cross-dresses too, but not often. I'm fine with that; I like to cross-dress too! I actually decided he was really hot looking while he was cross dressing in a miniskirt and tank top, singing karaoke. We are basically opposite-gendered versions of ourselves in many aspects. We even look similar lol.

If you want to spend your life with her, you shouldn't have to hide yourself from her. You should be able to freely engage in the activities you like such as cross-dressing and alternative sex practices (monogamously of course).

Okay, by monogamously, you mean in private, by myself I guess.
Well, let me just summarize some more. This is how I feel about wearing women's clothing. I'm not into the whole putting makeup on, shaving my legs, taking time to look like a girl. I just want to wear what I want, when I want.
I think the whole reason behind the is (don't take this the wrong way), I envy girls and their clothing choice. I mean, you get skirts and low cut shirts to show off everything. Not that all girls do, but it's an option. All guys can get are tight, stretchy shorts or pants that show off what an erection they can get, and they're looked down on for that. Some girls are too for wearing short skirts, but it just seems so unfair that girls have an oppurtunity to show off what they've got, when guys are stuck with nothing.
I'm glad I got in contact with an Ally like you (I just looked up what it was today. lol). There are Allies on campus here where I am, but only teachers and staff are listed. I want someone my own age I can talk to, preferably (if I can find someone), someone who is going through the same thing or already has.
If you can help me some more, it'd be appreciated.

Monagamously actually means you are dating/having sex with only one person. It's got nothing to do with how you behave when you're alone. Monagamously actually means that there is one other person in your life.

That's cool. Women have been doing it for a century now, wearing pants and t-shirts and other masculine clothing. So why can't a guy wear a skirt? I see no problem with it ^^

I absolutely agree. Guys should have the choice to wear whatever the hell thy want to wear! I know a guy who wears low cut flare jeans and women's tight shorts, showing off his midrift. He looks hot in them you know?

I'm not sure exactly what to do; it all depends on how active your college's .g.l.b.t.a communitty is... On my campus we have the rainbow alliance.

basically, what I'm saying here. I love this girl to death. We have our problems, but I know I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I also want to be who I am. I don't want to lose her either. I'm not sure what to do.

All you can do is be yourself. You are a great person. You have many habits my fiancee has, and I've got no problem with him at all.
