At what age did you know that you were gay?

[Cheshire Bitten]

I'd have ta say prolly around age 5 is when i started noticing it. Didn't really sink in till I was 12 though. Gotta love puberty.  

[AmeliaParadox]

hmmm, well I always talked about marrying my male friends when I was little but didn't see it as gay, I would tell mum I thought certain men were cute, for some weird reason, I thought I would just grow up to be a normal lady. didn't start to panic over it until I was 12, had my first sexual experience with a boy at 12 too. more just looking at other girls going "WHY ARNT I LIKE THAT!!? gonk "  

[Fee blanche]

I don't know when I wasn't.
I only learned what being homosexual was in Middle School, then I went through being bi, then pan, and now I'm comfortably at Homosexual.

I've been remembering things from when I was little and I was so gay, but no one noticed.

I would say 5th or 6th grade I figured out I liked boys

I was 8 when I knew I was slightly different.
But it wasn't until I was about 10 that I figured out what LGBT actually was and that I was attracted to both sex's.

Reading this thread title made me think of something, a conversation between two characters in a tv show. One character is talking to another who happens to be a lesbian. She asks her, "At what age did you know you were a lesbian?" to which the other character replies, "Why do people always ask that. No one ever asks 'what age did you know you were straight?'"

And in my experience, they don't. I find that a tad annoying.

I'm bi, so when I was13-14

14 or 15... when puberty kicked in full swing for me and I realized I liked both sexs (sexes? sex's? Not sure on the spelling.) I tried denying it but a few things happened and I realized I couldn't hide it.

Since early childhood I knew I was attracted to the same sex, but I never acted up on it, because I thought it was wrong, as a child. I was forced to the norm of heterosexuality. I came out as gay last August, previously I was bisexual.  

[STONED STONER CAT]

I was definitely in high school when I started becoming curious,
but it wasn't until I was 20 before I really knew.  

[Taka-tan]

Somewhere in my early to mid-teens, not sure on age but it was when puberty was in full affect on me. All I know for sure is that I made a few mistakes with my then hormone-crazed mind sweatdrop  

[Crockster99]

I knew for definite when I was 11 but I always knew XD all it took was for my friend to forcefully shove his c**k down my throat, Great friends I had.

I was about 12 when I had my first sexual fantasy involving another male. At that time I didn't even understand sexuality, but as I learned about it through media and friends, I did get the impression that being homosexual meant being confused about your own sexual identity and that it was overall a bad thing.

It didn't help that my family used to laugh about homosexuality, calling gay men sissies and such. This and the observation that my mother stumbled from one broken relationship into another, made me believe that relationships, sexuality and sexual identity are just one messed-up heap and that those things will only lead to unhappiness. From then on I desired to be asexual. It didn't work out though. xd

I still felt the need for sexual stimulation, but thinking about other men made me feel uncomfortable, even though I wanted to. So I tricked myself, I fantasized about sexual scenarios where another male transformed into a female, which made me believe it was suddenly okay to have sex with him/her.

When that wasn't enough I imagined myself as a female, though I shied away from imagining having sex with another guy. The thought of having sex with a man being okay in that fictional situation sufficed.

As more and more of my friends started having girlfriends, I suddenly felt under pressure. I felt like I had to get a girlfriend to be socially accepted. I'm not very handsome and had very low self-esteem at that time, so that didn't work out either. smile

By the time I was 17 and lived alone for about half a year, I already repressed the memories of my early sexual desires. I thought I was completely straight until I became interested in the concept of hermaphroditism. I began to enjoy futanari art, the thought of a women also having a p***s was very arousing to me. After a few months I didn't even mind if they had no vaginas, I even dared to look at gay art whenever the pictured guys looked girly enough.

I think I was about 19 when I first actively looked up gay pornographic pictures on the internet and realized that I am definitely not straight.

Now I'm 22. Last month I told my girlfriend of 4 years that I am bisexual. I don't know if this is entirely true though. I feel sexually attracted to her (or at least I believe that), but I can't stop imagining what it is like to have an intimate relationship with another man.

In short I am about to realize if I am entirely homosexual or not. sweatdrop  

[Annawuvyou]

I was probably bi my whole life because I'm a very protective person and I was very protective of my friends that were girls. I alwways seemed to get jealous when they hung out with other girls I also felt very hurt by it, but I didn't know why until I had my very first crush on a girl which freaked me out quite a bit 4laugh . Eventually I came to grips with my sexuality in middle school around the 8th grade and I am currently looking for a girlfriend,but I haven't told any of my family members and I seriously don't know how to tell them. Eep. The thing is that my bi sister is gay (I'm the youngest out of four children, including me) and ever since I was little I was always saying I wanted to be like her and I think tthat they won't take me seriously. I'm really worried about Emma (My big sister) is going to be insulted and everyone will just blow me off and say "whatever". SO I need help.

I was 10 or 11 when I first realized I liked guys... the first guy I really liked happened to be my cousin's best friend and then boyfriend sweatdrop Funny thing is, we're together now blaugh
