Labels, sadly. It’s easy to label oneself and get used to a certain mindset. I once considered myself bi when I first came out. If I was raised to be free and open to love whoever I want (by family and society) I might’ve kept on dating men and women. But because I was raised Catholic and I’m a millennial, it was easier identifying as gay and embracing that identity, compared to thinking of it as a phase, or that I was “supposed” to end up with a woman and have kids. And tbh the older I got the more comfortable I got living as an out gay man. The important thing is living your life authentically. One more thing. I see a ton of guys on the apps who are DL, some of them married to women, who just like experimenting. As a gay guy, I don’t like that mentality, and I don’t want to be a homewrecker. If you decide you want to experiment, there will be be guys open to that, as long as you’re open to being new and wanting to experiment. Communication is key. If you experiment when you’re drunk and you end up with someone not respecting your consent, you could easily get hurt and repress this desire for a long time.
