I don't have a problem with it. Everyone I know knows. This has been the case for 16 years.

Because of a fear of how others will react and treat you after you come out. With all the rednecks around here, it could be dangerous, too. A couple of middle aged guys in a small town about 18 miles north of me woke up one day to find they had a 6 foot wooden cross burning on their lawn!!!!!!!!!!! Of course the cops never found who did it and it made the front page, so they were humiliated.

Maybe because we were educated some way, and I, personally I think our sexuality is still a personal matter, although I feel very comfortable about my sexuality

It's not hard for me to be open at all. Everyone I know gay or straight knows I am a very open lesbian. It all depends on the person and your support system I guess.

because it truly is a "personal" thing. Regardless of your orientation the sexual activities are not spectator sports... it is something only to be shared with the ones closest to you. blatent display of sexuality dose nothing but cause social dis-order. There is in most people, atleast those who have "normal" development emotionaly, an inborn sense of what the limits are in "displaying" sexuality... the minority now are controloing the media and promoting behavior that is not suportive of order in scociety... All of this makes the "normal" socialy restrained display of sexuality even harder to deal with.

it isn't hard, its because u are maybe scared what others(peps) will think of u after u tell them, maybe u think that they will change the way they treat u or just basically look at u in a different way and thats why i think it is hard for anyone to open up about their sexuality!

2 reasons. You're insecure about yourself and what people will think about you because Reason number two people are bigots and haters and those kind of people who are ignorant make it hard for people who just want to get on with their lives instead of having the bible shoved down their throat.

In the USA most people are taught that sex all sex is bad and gay sex is really bad. In Europe most people are taught that sex is just sex so they have a much healthier attitude about it. When I lived in Denmark having a woman take me home with her did not mean that she liked me, it meant that she wanted to have sex with me. We in the USA just do not get that concept, at all. When I tell my wife that I would like to try having sex with another man, she knows that I really do not want anything other than the experience having sex with another man.

Because there are so many hateful, rotten and judgemental people out there (look at some of the jerks that answer questions here!!!) It makes it so much harder to tell people something intimate about yourself.
