Thank You Janet R, Cass, bigbertha, NikkiT, Cam W.
Noa, darling, kazoo, and especially Adam. I feel
kinda validated by your responses.Adam, your post was awesome. That took a lot of
courage. Thanks so much.I once knew a woman who felt so alone and wanted
some form of intimacy. She said to me "I just wish
I had someone to ask me 'would you like a cup of
tea, dear?'."That is similar to my need. Sex can be loving, fun,
intense. I want someone to come home to and watch
TV with. I want a companion to sail with me.
I want to hold & be held. I want to hug and kiss
and hear someone snoring next to me. If there is
sex, great. But sex is not the most important
thing for me.I know there is no way I will be flamboyant, that's
not my style.I don't have a family or close friends to come out
to. I should begin with the new friend I met in
the hospital, but, yikes!, I sure don't want to
lose him so soon. He's very open and compassionant,
we hug each other, but he is in his 60's
(I think I've got a crush on him, those hugs feel
so good) and a VERY devout Christian. I will
broach the subject carefully to try to get his
opinion.I'd like to say more, about not fitting in or being
uncomfortable in the presence of other gay men, but
I'm sleepy, so goodnight everyone, and thanks again.
