Hello,
I thought I'd take the time to introduce myself since this seems to be such a vibrant, friendly community and I don't see any harm in trying. My name is Josh (obviously).
I've been bi-curious since childhood but only recently began identifying as bisexual* after I came to the realization that it was a possibility. Before that point (who knows what triggered it), I was blissfully unaware of the multitude of sexualities on the planet. I was vaguely aware of homosexuality because it has been rising in prevalence in educational studies. The idea that one could be heterosexual and homosexual (or somewhere between) had never occurred to me. I was struggling with it while I was dating a girl, slowly realizing that there were certain guys I found "cute" or "attractive" and that I was spending a more-than-usual time staring at cock in heterosexual porn. I'm still not out to anyone except my aforementioned (ex-)girlfriend and a gay online friend. Most of the people in my life are very homophobic. Yes, I know it's cliched to be afraid of coming out and should be easily overcome by inspiration apparent on this very website. Still, I haven't yet had a relationship with the same sex, there isn't really anything to come out about.
Sexuality aside, I very much enjoy reading, writing, playing and designing games of all kinds, and listening to and composing music. I love programming. I'm not totally sure where I want to go with my life but right now I'm on track to be a math major graduated in two years (after two years of community college) after which I will probably go to grad school for a masters in Artificial Intelligence. Video game design and programming are my dream, but there are many other things I would like to do, so I may just become a professor of mathematics/computer science.
I've looked at a lot of the content on this site and learned a lot from it. I hope the time I spend engaging in discussions will allow me to learn even more. I look forward to these exchanges.

* This may be a crime since I haven't had a sexual encounter with a man, but, yeah...
