I am a single 41 yr old gay man. i have been single for 8 yrs. I have been sulibant for 8 yrs. It has been a lonely yet also an eye opening experiance. I had my heart broken by my ex but in the long run have seen i broke my own heart. I cut the tie to abuse and yet here I am alone and not klnowing if im even worthy of love. I dont want to be alone whom does but seems like no man will even take a chance on me and i close up when those whom only want sex. i believe in the heart but why dont other gay men here believe their is more then sex.

I don't what to come out as a person who just isn't satisfied with my sex life but with my boyfriend and I there isn't any. We use to have sex often but now it feels like a chore and I don't want it to feel like that. I have found myself having this urge to go cheat and I have but I feel guilty doing it. I am only 25 years of age and I don't want to feel like I a don't have this sex drive that I know I have. maybe it's me who isn't all the way there. There are times when I feel like I want to have sex but when it gets down to it I don't. But at most times I find myself wanting sex and I know I am ready and I am ready to try new things but he isn't up for it. I don't know maybe it's me or maybe isn't. Maybe if my boyfriend is up for it maybe we can try new things to do, and it could be fun again.

So there's this guy in my class, he's really cute. He asked me out through a note on like the second to last day of school. i didn't see him or talk to him throughout the whole summer. I haven't answered him yet, should i or shouldn't i? i am only in sixth grade. if i do answer him , i don't want it to be all weird between us, ya know?
