Hiyas Bone,
Well at 15 I would say his behavour is something most have to deal with.
At that young age he has seen male and female bodies, and am sure that he finds them both nice to look at. His hormones are going through the roof.
Let him find his own way, which I am sure he will. I remember being about 14 and looking at guys in the changing room when swimming. Does not mean I was bi at that age, merely curious of another guys body.
I suppose I was comparing. I know that does not help but....am sure he will find his own way in good time.
ermmmmmm i can only comment from talking to my friend who says he knew he was gay from a very young age and seems to have life very much sorted so much so he is a gay and lesbian councillor.
He says the worst thing he ever felt was the fact that his parents treated him differently just cos he was gay (even before he had done anything)as he says sex advice is the same no matter who your doing it with.
So with that in mind i would say homosexuality is no different to hetro so same rules apply and thats gotta be use a condom and be carefull son.

Yes I would advise the same safe sex it a must whomever you play with be it boy girl or both, My mum used to say if you old enough to ask your old enough to be told so im sure if your son needs to know anything he will ask you and you seem to have a great understanding with your son so you will be fine the both of you, might be just a growing up thing but im sure with your as his mum he will be fine xxxx
Once upon a time, no that sounds like a story, and this is true. Anyway, there was this lad, younger than your son. He was doing the girlfriend thing, but it was not his girlfriend he was allowed to camp with, (sorry for the pun).
It was his cousins he camped with. Now things happened. You could say that is what boys do. Perhaps it is not. Things did not go far, and things never went any further later.
What I am saying is at 15 he has not sorted himself out yet. Are you sure you know what he said to you, I know you know what you heard, but that is not always the same. He came to you, so he is looking for something from you. He may not know what he is looking for himself.
To find out what he wants you must ask him. The trouble is, he may find those questions disturbing. You have to find some common ground, you should be supporting him as much as he wants, but not challenging him. A difficult path to tread.
Good luck
Travis
PS
If you are going to get him books, read them first, they are not all independent.
yes t mann Im pretty sure lol...this came about cos he has a photo of someone as his screen saver on his pc....dad commented on "oooohhh is that your latest girlfriend!"
son replies "its not a girl its a guy" (picture is of a very good looking boy in a skirt, over the knee socks, and so on)
dad - why have u got a piccy of a guy as your screen saver
son - cos i like guys
dad - oh so are you telling me your gay son
son - no i like girls too, i just like lads as well.
and yesterday I was joking to son when he gave me some attitude I said "oi gay lads are supposed to be nicer to their mums than any other boys!!!"
he shouts back "mu-um Im NOT gay"
I replied well "Bi lads then"....and he shouts back "ah well there ya go then, we dont have to be as nice to our mums!"
i dont think I can mistake the way his mind is thinking (at the minute)
Hiya Mrs B,
I can't really offer any advice from experience in dealing with a sproglet... All I can say is that for him to be so open with you shows a huge amount of trust and respect for you both and only does you, your hubby and him enormous credit.
I think if I was in your position, now that he has "tested the water" and got a positive reaction from you both. I'd just say to him that if he wants to ask anything then you are there for him no matter what he does. You've had the safe sex talk, that should apply to whatever sex. I'd be wary of bombarding him with books and websites initially, unless he specifically asks you for it. I think I'd give him time and space to realise exactly what it is he wants from you, if he has not done so already. He may have just wanted acceptance. Then just support him as you have been as I don't think you could have done anything better than you already have.
A good proportion of my sons and daughters friends are openly "Bi". I am not keen on labels and I'm not sure quite what this one means to the young people who use it. My youngsters tell me it means you fancy other males and females.
Using that definition I think I was, as a teen, but discussed it with nobody.
I think its great young people can be open about what's going on in their heads.
I didn't sort out my sexuality 'til I was in my twenties so I intend to simply support my brood as best I can regardless of how, when or with whom they wish to have sex.
Well done and good luck.
and all I can say is big up to you boney, you must be doing something right for you son to be able to confide in you... :thumbup: 
That's the second time in a week I've seen something written on here that could have been lifted from a Willy Russell play :P 
) that the attraction is more to do with the sex of the person they fancy as opposed to what they wear. There's also loads of straight TV's about.
