Okay. You comprehend, here's what I'd say about that: you're young, so the chance of you two staying together in this way for a long-long time? It's not very tall, period, and I don't say that to be a jerk. People often outgrow each other with early relationships: in a lot of ways, that's kind of likely what they are for.
My aim is that he may or may not leave you or outgrow you -- or you him -- but chances are that that being based only on his orientation are mighty unlikely. Again, no more likely than were he heterosexual, where that orientation -- being attracted to women, in his case -- could have meant he found another woman he wanted to be with instead of you, you know? And no matter our age, or people's orientations, partners may leave, or we may leave them. Relationships change over time, it's just a thing, and many are temporary rather than lifelong.
In other words, I can't reassure you that you OR he won't end your affair , or find it feels like it's ended. No matter what your age was, I couldn't
I think my boyfriend is bisexual, but he says he isn't. How can I find out?
I recently learned that my boyfriend/girlfriend of five years previously received oral sex from a man twice. I've also caught him watching gay porn on multiple occasions.
These instances lead me to believe he's attracted to both genders. But whenever I question him about his sexuality, he always claims not to be bisexual.
I'm wondering if, despite his insistence, he really is bisexual person, or maybe he's homosexual. How can I detect out?

Dear Georgia,
It's normal to want to label people as a way to make sense of how they fit into the world, but that doesn't mean it's always necessary or productive.
The way I see it, your situation is one of those cases.
You see, sexuality is a complicated notion. Our society has change into more tolerant of people who aren't straight, but there's still much confusion, and unfair stereotyping, about people who don't crave to define their sexuality or are still questioning it.
As New York City-based therapist Rachel Wright previously told me, the types of erotica and physical acts a per
When I told her for the first time that I liked her, she didn’t look at me. She smiled – not the acknowledging kind, but the tight-lipped, strict, polite upbringing nice. You could make out from that smile that she had learned somewhere to not talk her mind when things got uncomfortable – and to just avoid such situations with a polite smile.
So she did. She smiled without quite looking at me and then avoided me for the rest of the semester. That was the last time I ever gathered the courage to walk up to a girl and confess my feelings to her.
Ever since then, I have dated men, mostly casually, some probably a minuscule more intimately. Kevin was among the intimate ones. And he was the second person to whom I openly proclaimed, “I am bisexual. I like existence with women as much as I like being with men.”
Yet, when Kevin confessed something similar to me nearly four months later, I was more than just taken aback – because it also signalled the terminate of our relationship.
Kevin kept it short and sincere. He said, “I don’t want to endure this relationship. I am sorry to break it to you

Dear Sexplain It,
Some big animation things came up recently, which led to some panic, causing my partner and I to get a break. Nothing was wrong in the relationship; we’re both just extremely anxious people, but I can confirm that we were both happy without any doubts. However, during this break, he
