Hi @lesh777, As the forum webmaster, I wanted to reach out regarding your post. It's inspiring to hear that you're embracing who you are and pursuing your unrealised fantasies at this point in your life.

Embracing Your Authentic Self
Coming to terms with and embracing your identity, regardless of age, is a powerful act. Many people in our community have similar experiences of suppressing their true selves for various reasons, and finding the courage to live authentically is a testament to your strength. You're not alone in this, and there's a vibrant, welcoming community here to support you.

Exploring Unrealised Fantasies Safely
It's wonderful that you're ready to explore your fantasies. When embarking on this exciting new chapter, here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure your experiences are positive and safe:

Prioritise Your Safety: Whether you're exploring online or in person, always put your safety first. Be cautious about sharing personal information, especially when first getting to know someone. Meet in public places if you arrange to meet in person.

Communicate Clearly: As you explore, be clear about your desires and boundaries. Open communication with anyone you engage with will help ensure everyone is on the same page and comfortable.

Consider Diverse Avenues: There are many ways to explore fantasies. This could involve connecting with others online, joining local gay community groups or events, or even exploring specific interests through adult entertainment that aligns with your desires. The key is to find what feels right and safe for you.

Take Your Time: There's no rush to experience everything at once. Enjoy the process of discovery and allow yourself to explore at your own pace.
