Hi. I'm 42 and during the course of the past 2 and a bit years, I've developed an interest in reading erotic fiction online with a lesbian theme. It's also referred to as WLW fiction in some places. I hadn't previously had any thoughts about women in that regard or had any sexual experiences with other women. It was an interest that developed gradually. I am still reading the fiction and enjoying it. I think if it was simply a phase, I wouldn't still be having the thoughts and feelings I'm having. If anything, they have been getting stronger. When I'm reading the stories, I get really turned on. Sometimes I will imagine myself as one of the characters. I also enjoy watching lesbian porn, although I only started looking at that recently compared to the stories. I haven't thought or fantasised about men at all for over 2 years, but I have done so about women on multiple occasions.
I don't know if this means I'm definitely a lesbian, but I'm excited to have discovered this part of myself. I'm single so there is nothing to stop me seeking an experience with another woman or having a relationship with one. The thought of having such an encounter (which may or may not lead to a relationship) has certainly been on my mind however. Has this happened to anyone else later in their life?
