Back when I was young and had did sexual stuff with other guys---my first sexual experiences were with other guys, I was coming of age as HIV/AIDs was also making its way into the world.
Once I started "getting lucky" with girls, I basically was only interested at that point in being with females---but I still had desires to be with other guys, but unless some situation presented itself to be with another guy, I really didn't know how to pursue doing so.
I looked around at the various "gay scenes" I saw in the places I lived or spent time and those scenes all put me off--making me feel that there was no place for me in in that.
It really was probably a good thing, because every single person I knew who came out gay, bi or whatever in those days---were among those first waves of those who died from getting full blown AIDS. so it was good I didn't pursue doing anything with guys other than the one "thing" I had with another guy that was a short term deal, "out of the blue" that I did not seek out--but just happened.
Once done with that--I didn't do anything with another guy for at least another decade.
I hate to admit it---but had I let myself go and have sex with other men at that time, I probably would not have practiced safe sex---being young and thinking you are immortal---so I would have stood a high chance of getting AIDS and going down thanks to that years ago.
In hindsight--I am sure that I missed out on some great sex since that was the time of life I was "in my prime"---but better I didn't do that because if I had--I probably would have checked out years ago.
Based on that--no real regrets
