"Time to explore I think": there's no "I think" about it, this is definitely the time for you to explore any same sex desires you have. Go on a gay hookup site or app for guys and put on your profile that you're a newbie who wants to just slowly explore what he might like, asking no pressure please. You'll have guys responding. You can then email, talk on the phone, meet for coffee, and see where things go. Getting naked with another understanding guy to explore can be a lot of fun. And if you're not feeling it, don't be afraid to say good night. But if you are feeling it, which most likely you will be, then enjoy. You might even enjoy it beyond your wildest dreams, and discover a hidden part of yourself that has been dying to come out forever. I'm sorry about your divorce and the pain you experienced I'm sure, but it may just have been the best thing for you, because there's nothing like being single to freely explore your sexuality. It was for me; OMG, was it ever! Good luck my friend.
