Before dating my boyfriend I thought that I was a lesbian. I truly do love him but I really miss intimacy with women. I can't see myself being able to spend the rest of my life without being with a woman ever again. How do I bring this up to him without hurting him?
You need to decide where your interests lie. In the meantime, you shouldn't have a regular "boyfriend," just date around. If you allow the boy you're dating now to become really interested in you to the point he wants an exclusive relationship, you're asking for trouble because what you're doing isn't fair to him and he won't like it.
You could be polyamorous, it's becoming more common. The past few relationships I've been in have been open... I feel it's more comfortable that way. We're honest about what we do so we can stay safe, but there's no paranoia, there's no jealousy or tension at parties when flirting happens, it's fun for both of us because we know it's okay to have both. It's something that's difficult for a lot of people to accept, it's not for everyone... but for mature people who trust in what they have together, I have seen it work. :)
Be open and honest with him about what you want and explain your situation. Unless he is also predisposed to want an open relationship, I don't think it's possible to bring it up with out hurting him. The best think you can do to minimize the pain is to bring it up as soon as you can and be totally honest.
You can progress gradually. For example, trying to watch some porn together with lesbian scenes or threesomes. If he accepts it and if you see that he likes it, then maybe discussing to act out these fantasy, you could suggest having a threesome with him and another woman so that he wouldn´t feel hurt - the first step may be to create the impression that he will not be excluded or cheated on but that it might be done also for his benefit, arranging it as a "win-win" situation from which he might benefit as well (either by just watching you with her or by joining in depending on the situation and your preferences and other factors).
