How do I (F18) tell my boyfriend that I may be bisexual, and that I want to explore myself with another woman without him thinking of it as cheating?

I have always questioned my sexuality. I do believe that I may be bisexual, but I feel like I can’t really know until I have relations with other women. I get turned on by women as I do men, however I don’t know how to confirm my sexuality without actually exploring it. I know that there isn’t a 101 bisexuality guide and there isn’t just some test I can take on Google which is why I want to explore myself with other women to confirm whether or not I am Bi.

I also want to confirm it before I come out to people because that’s a very serious thing. Is it normal for me to want to “confirm” my sexuality?

The problem is, my boyfriend takes loyalty very seriously (which is what I love about him), and he may consider me having relations with another woman as cheating. What I want to do is talk to my boyfriend, meet a woman I feel comfortable with and that knows my situation (she also has to be comfortable with the fact that I don’t know whether or not I’m bisexual), have relations with her, and confirm whether or not I am really bisexual. If I was really comfortable with her I would offer my boyfriend a threesome with her if he’s into that. I know he’s had a threesome with women before, but I don’t know if he would be comfortable with having a threesome with his girlfriend.

This is something I want to talk to him about when I’m comfortable but I don’t know how to bring up this topic and approach it. He could be totally down with me exploring my sexuality because I know some men that would encourage their girlfriends to do so. However, he could also shut me down if He isn’t comfortable with me doing so.

This man is someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, but I also don’t want to stay in the closet forever. I know that me sleeping with another woman would be considered cheating, but I feel like it wouldn’t be as bad if I were to tell him upfront rather than me doing it behind his back (I would never do that). What should I do in this situation?

  • ". . . and he may consider me having relations with another woman as cheating." That's because it is cheating.

    "This man is someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. . ." And he places a high value on being faithful. It doesn't sound like you and he have a good future ahead of you.

  • Tl, Dr

    You don’t.

    Having sexual relations with anyone other than your partner is cheating.

  • You DON'T tell your boyfriend that you may be partly homosexual, and want to have immoral sexual activity with another female. You would only tell a Head Shrinker about something like that... and then pray that he/she could help you back to complete heterosexuality. Jesus is the ultimate answer

  • "This man is someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, but I also don’t want to stay in the closet forever."

    Can you explain this ^ to me? I don't get it. Would you only "spend the rest of your life" with him if it was an open relationship?

  • You just have to tell him. If he is a secure male, he will understand.

    • When did the idea that a relationship is all about how the other can benefit out wants or desires, and its about putting the other first cause of your genuine love and care for the other. When we focus only on us... then your dating yourself... and their other is now baggage... but they werent when you met them.
