I just found out....?

No, I don't believe it, and here is why.

If you were really "gay," you probably would have had a clue by

now. People don't just "find out" one day. They often feel quite "different" from their peers, even from an early age, as they tend to have interests that are not necessarily typical of their gender. When puberty hits, they often don't understand all the fuss their peers are making over the opposite sex, because their own hormones are attracting them to members of the their own sex.

If you were completely oblivious to your own latent homosexual tendencies all this time, it probably would mean that you were psychologically defended against them because they made you too anxious to be experienced consciously. Such a defended person would be unlikely to watch "Brokeback Mountain" because it would bring his homoerotic attractions into conscious awareness. He would be even more unlikely to have sex with another guy on a whim (unless alcohol or drugs were involved). And in this day and age, I have to doubt that he would simply come out as gay on Yahoo! Answers without any significant internal struggling.

Typically, the process of accepting oneself as gay requires a lot more introspection, struggling to overcome one's internalized homophobia, and anxiety about coming out to a homophobic society. These qualities are almost completely absent from your story, which makes me doubt its authenticity.

The other reason I'm skeptical about your story is that anyone who has really seen "Brokeback Mountain" probably wouldn't describe it as being about "two guys in the woods having all sorts of sex." (Perhaps you were watching "Bareback Mountain" instead?)

But, if your story does have some kernel of truth to it, and you really did have a sexual romp with your friend as a way of experimenting, there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Lots of guys do this who aren't necessarily gay. But, in my opinion, you have a lot more thinking to do about this, especially before you tell your mom.

Great that you and your friend enjoyed the sex.It could have been good at that particular time,but think about this?

Are there other guys you are attracted too?

Maybe this moment made it happen,

I would find out first if you are really or just caught in the moment.

If so,you could tell your mother.

Remember to always have save sex:you don't want to get HIV infected would you?

The fact is you always knew you were gay, just none of us did till now. the question i see is that you want to know if you should reveal this to your loved ones.. well be careful in this for you are relaying personal information on your sexual escapades with another male being. many are not open to this and could result in alot of pain in your heart..but again your loved ones should love you no matter what and see beyond this..though again many do not.

it's ultimatley your call.

OK you didn't just find out, you knew all along you just accepted it. and by putting in that movie you were hoping it would turn him on... sorry sounds like it didn't work so time to try and find a new love interest. as far as telling your mom that's up to you. but be prepared for what ever response you get she may be angry upset or excepting

Congrats on coming out of the closet. Are you sure you was not just trying something new. If you are sure that is the life you want then I say yes tell your mother everything you are going through.

An interesting story, but what the hey?

As long as you aren't reliant on her for accommodation, yes. But pick your time carefully when she's in a good mood and then just get it out with.

It is up to you as to whether you tell your mom. One session of sex does not mean love. If you are gay--be proud of who you are but know that true love takes time.

Offal - i visit't eat any of it. yet i hit upon olive oil yummy only with slightly salt further, and that i understand others discover it yucky. I also love black pudding, made ideally from pigs' blood, and others discover that yucky. And the first Mate loves garlic, which repels me at one hundred yards (or metres, or meters, as you opt for).

it really all depends on her views of homosexuality. I come from a very very uber catholic family, i was kicked out of the house and disowned at 16 when i came out. I also told her I was a liberal with that so i got more heat on top of that.

If your mom is like my mom, wait until you move out. spare yourself the trouble.

Yes. Tell your Mom this story.
