Did my break-up turn me gay?

My whole life I have been straight. I have had a number of girlfriends all long-term.

A few months back I went through a difficult break-up.

For months I withstood any and all advances by females because all I could think about was my ex and I didnt want to be with another woman. I had thought I was going to marry her.

The ride has been emotional and though I was really strong for a while I found myself in a deep depression.

Last week an old acquaintence of mine had me over. He had recently gotten out of a long-term relationship and thought we could benefit from talking to each other. We ended-up having sex. I'm ashamed to say it felt good. (My friend is gay).

He wants to do it again. Says it is no big deal, just physical so we can help each other out exclusively between relationships.

I think the enjoyment was just physical. It was the first time I did anything sexual with anyone since my ex. I could never kiss a man or date a man though. I am attracted to females and connect emotionally only w/ females. I've always wanted to get married and have kids.

What should I do? Does that make me gay?

    You bunch of assh*les. This experience is very significant in this guy's life. This experience doesn't make him any more gay than banging a few women makes me straight.

    Dude, you're not gay. You did, however, have gay sex. People don't just turn gay. It's not a disease or a cult.

    Why do you feel the need to label yourself? You seem to know how you feel about the situation, and that's all that matters. You were hurt and depressed and in need of comfort. Since you swore off of women, this was the only intimacy you were going to get, apparently. If you know in your heart of hearts that you will not find fulfilling companionship with another male, then you guys should stop fooling around, before one of you gets attached (who knows, you could surprise yourself). Give yourself time to get over your ex, and then you can start dating women again and not have to worry about being "gay."

    this is a bit too much for my brain. If in the midst of a breakup my brother had sex with a male. Id say he slept with a guy..and a guy sleeping with a guy..is yesssss..gay. U can play for both teams i suppose..but it sounds to me like at the very least ur bi... It doesnt really make a damn as long as ur honest about urself

    Everyone saying that you "turn" gay the moment you have a gay sexual experience is wrong.

    You might be bisexual. Or, maybe, you are just experimenting. But if you still feel that you are attracted to and connect emotionally with women, you are almost certainly not completely gay.

    Whatever the case may be, you'll figure things out. In these matters, it's best to force nothing and just go with the flow.

    I'm a guy. I get fucked in the rear every friday night and laugh if a girl flirts with me. I also jerk off to straight porn every once in a blue moon. Doesn't make me straight. Jesus you'd think you could figure this out by yourself.

    Dude you had sex to have sex in a weak moment. You are not gay, but like someone said you had gay sex. If you had it again, if its just for relief between relationships with women, it doesn't mean your gay, but that you have sexual needs that need to be met. If the man on man sex continues but you are still attracted to women you could turn into a bisexual. You get the best of both worlds, you get to have the relationships you want with women, and can easily get sexual satisfaction from another dude during the non relationship times.

    you left out details... now did you suck him off? Did he suck you off? I mean was there assholes being fingered here or what? OR did he flat out flip you on your belly and phuck that ass? Was he hung like a donkey? I mean a little hand job ok forget about it... but did you go all out here or what?

    If you were really in love with your girlfriend, then you wouldn't have gotten pleasurement from being with a man. So yes you are so gay, as soon as you did that, you became gay. Don't say you want to be with a woman and have kids but then be thinking about guys. Please don't lead the next woman your with on. If your gay, be proud. Figure out which team you are on dude. A lot of people get hurt by the same thing all the time.

    You haven't gotten over your ex. Snap out of it! and I think you've answered it yourself right there: "the enjoyment is just physical, I am attracted to females and connect emotionally only w/ females." It could have been a female, just turns out that he's a guy and apparently gay.
    I don't think you're gay though, it just so happens that he came when you needed someone. I say get over your ex and stop having sex with this guy! you might scar yourself further emotionally if you do. It nearly took me 1 and a half years to get over my ex. But hey, I made it. And so can you ^^
