Hello everyone.
I first want to say that am very moved and believe that you have a lot of courage to be open about your sexuality. I too am a gay smasher, but I'm kind of embarrassed to posting like this. I'm not quite as brave as the rest of you. This isn't my main account. I've been reading this topic, and I wanted to participate, but I'm not quite ready to be out in the open yet, and I know I have friends on this site who browse the pool room. I'm not embarrassed about my sexuality anymore, I already went through that phase. I don't mentally smack myself every time I think a guy is cute or anything. I just don't think I'm really in an environment where I want to be out yet.
I don't think my friends would be disapproving, but I know that life in my hall would be a lot more complicated. Pretty much everyone around me are very conservative jock types. Their favorite activities are watching football, playing football, and Halo. They're not bad guys by any means, I'm pretty good friends with quite a few of them, but I don't think they would be very understanding if they knew I was gay. Conversations would be awkward, half of them would probably stop talking to me, it would just be inconvenient. I saw it happen to another guy I knew who came out during high school. Quite frankly, I don't want to deal with that, especially if I have to live in close quarters with these guys.
So, there we go. I'm gay, but I'm a coward.
As for the V card thing (lol, I didn't know anyone else called it that!) I have done things involving hands and I have received things involving a mouth, but the v card has not gone anywhere. And I almost don't count the minor involvement I've done. That individual was extremely confusing.
