This question has been bothering me since forever (I'm 28 now). This may be quite long but I appreciate any help I can get here. I’ve had a few drinks so please pardon the language. The last paragraph is the summary so if you’d like to skip the stories you can just read that and help. Thanks!
Ever since I was small I have been quite feminine (even in terms of appearance and voice. was mistaken as female quite often). I grew up with females in the family, and was surrounded by mostly girls because of my academic results so I had few male friends. My parents chose a boys' junior high for me and there I started hanging around with boys, some of whom happened to be gay. They were quite open about their sexual orientation while I still insisted that I was straight. I did watch porn as well as gay porn, the latter much more often in fact, at that time but I never admitted I was gay.
I didn't have time to think about relationships throughout junior high as my parents separated in that period. I was quite a nerd and just played video games at home without socialising with others. Things were up for my parents in 10th grade so I started making more friends.
Then, there came this guy (let’s just call him B1). B1 represented a state sports team but instead of being all macho he was quite childlike. We got close and sometimes I slept over at his place. As I was still quite shy he was the one who would call and suggest what we do together, but one thing about him was that he would keep saying how much I was like a woman. I did like him but never thought about anything else until one night when we were in bed he asked me to touch him and take my clothes off. I did what he said and found that his dick was hard and all but then he just asked me to stop and we just slept on that night. The next morning we just had breakfast as usual but he said what we did was something indecent.
A few days later he said there was something wrong with his laptop and asked if he could come to my place. I knew something was gonna happen and it did. After fixing his laptop we started doing revision for exam, but he kept saying something arousing. I couldn't control myself and hugged him. He pushed me away a bit but slowly we lay on the sofa and started kissing. At first he didn't let me kiss his lips by covering them with his hands but then he became more relaxed. We took off all our clothes and hugged until he came, but what bothered him was that I wasn't hard at all that whole time. We took a shower afterwards and that was the last time we got physically intimate.
We were still friends in high school and in our freshman year at college even though we went to different colleges in New York. Our friendship kind of ended until I started dating a girl (G1) and told him about us having sex after 2 weeks of dating. He was quite startled when he first heard about it but we were still friends. That was until he started dating a girl that he stopped contacting me in his final year.
I met G1 in my freshman year. She was the exact opposite of me: smiles with a beam of sunshine, extremely sociable and opinionated. We started off as friends as I made it quite clear at the beginning that I wanted to stay single and didn’t want to get into any romantic relationship (probably because how things went with B1). But as I got to know her better I was really attracted by her and asked her to be my girlfriend after a year. Things were great in every way and it was truly the best year of my life. She was really sexually active, which made porn irrelevant all together. I really believed that she was the one until she cheated on me after a year. I wanted to break up with her but eventually we got back together. Of course I wasn’t as much in love with her as before and sexually we became less intimate. After we started having a part-time job she’d refuse to have sex with me so sometimes I would jerk off to gay porn with her sleeping next to me. Plus she became increasingly unreasonable and demanding so we broke up after spending 4 years together.
I again decided not to be in any relationship as that one with G1 really broke my heart, and I wasn’t sure when I might start dating a guy. I’m from a VERY conservative Christian family so there’s no way on earth that they’re gonna accept me with a guy, except my sister who made it explicit that I could bring a boyfriend or girlfriend home (I guess she knows something because we used to share the same computer). Not to leave them heart-broken I decided to move overseas where no one knows me so at least whatever I do they wouldn’t know. I started working for a company and here came G2 who is 2 years older than me.
G2 was a typical good girl: friendly, smiles to your jokes and rarely goes out at night. We got close at first as we lived nearby. We started off as friends only as she was in a relationship. Other colleagues always joked about her and another colleague who had a girlfriend because they were really close. After G2 broke up with her boyfriend she became more open and went out with us more often. One night after a few drinks G2 and the guy started flirting with each other and eventually kissed. In the days that followed they were all secretive. The guy would use excuses to leave us but we knew the two of them were gonna meet up. They seemed to end things after a week or so.
G2 and I then became even closer to a point that I started having feelings for her, and I could feel that she felt the same. We bought each other really nice gifts on our birthdays and started dining out with only the two of us. But I couldn’t forget how she approached that guy and made a move on him so I finally convinced myself not to tell her my feelings. I distanced her for a while to give her a clear signal and started becoming close friends with her again as she’s a really good person. At times she found it hard to accept us being close friends only but eventually she did. But I’m not sure whether I still have feelings for her...
Then a new colleague (B2) came two years ago. He’s three years younger, handsome, athletic, funny and childish/childlike. At first he caught my eye as a handsome guy only, but I didn’t think much about him, well, not until we became close friends. G1, he, a few other colleagues and I started hanging out quite often. At first whenever he was out he was quite bothered by his demanding girlfriend but a few months later he broke up with her. With all of us are single we hang out even more often. Sometimes they make me feel closer than I’ll ever be to my real family so I really treasure our friendship. But at the same time I started to think I may have feelings for B2. Because he was new and all I started taking care of him all the time as a mentor.
A year ago he suddenly confessed to me that he has feelings for G2. I kind of saw it coming from his body language anyway. At first this love triangle did bother me a lot because I seem to be the one who can control the whole thing, and I’m not sure whether I actually like G2 or B2 better. But B2 decided not to say anything because he knows G2 is still very much in love with me. So I decided to do nothing and just let things flow.
But I didn’t know starting when B2 and I started calling each other ‘darling’. We would fool around even in the workplace, hugging each other, playing with each other’s hair etc. Some colleagues have showed their surprise or even dismay seeing things like this, but because I’m senior and help the company earn a lot of money they didn’t say anything. Sometimes he sleeps over at my place and we would hug and sleep together. He said he’d never be with a guy but told me that I’m special, probably in a way that it gets him nervous if I say I don’t wanna talk to him. Once he hinted that he knows I like him by saying that he could’ve used me if he wanted to while he’s waiting for G2’s feelings for me to subside. To avoid any awkwardness I just pretended I didn’t hear anything.
A few days ago he slept over again and I didn’t know why I felt extra horny. Leaning on his shoulder I was hard on the whole night and tried really really hard not to make a move on him. At last I didn’t but I’m afraid I would one day and ruin the whole situation, especially my friendships with G2 and B2.
All these have made me think about moving to another country AGAIN to have a start-over. But wasn’t it what I came here for in the first place? I’m worried that even if I move again same things may happen all over again, and I’ll have to push away all these amazing people again. As everyone tells me I need to find someone, but what am I? And what should I look for? I think I’m emotionally more connected to women, plus more comfortable having sex with them, but am more sexually aroused by men, but not comfortable being intimate with them (based on my experience with B1). I’m afraid that if I were to choose a girl I wouldn’t be able to control my sexual arousal for men, but if I were to be with a guy I wouldn’t be able to connect with him emotionally or do well sexually. I know it’s not healthy holding all these inside but I’d really rather be alone than hurt anyone in a relationship, as I understand how much it can someone. I even thought about seeing a shrink but am not sure how much it’ll help this freaky me.
