Sexual Attractions

[JewishRebel]

Hi there :)

I was just wondering, for quite a few years now, ( ever since about, maybe 12 years old ) I've been romantically and sexually attracted to boys 11 - 16. IDK, I just prefer that age group and something about boys that age and younger than me is something I kind of like. Now I'm not a pedophile, Or atleast so far as the definition goes I'm not ( I'm 17 now )..

But what I want to know is, as I get older, will my sexual attractions change? Like will progress through puberty, alter what I find sexually attractive in a boy? Or will that age group haunt me for the rest of my life?

And if so, I'm sure some professional help could change that. Like a Psychiatrist or something... Because I'd rather not grow up liking people that age.. it's kind of illegal and wrong. :P

Thanks
Ethan (:

During your life your sexual orientation may change at some point of your life you might think you're gay then later straight or at some point you're bi who knows. For some people it never changes.

so I'm pretty sure your sexual attractions will change when you get older and you think about stuff differently than you're now. I'm pretty sure when you're older you stop thinking about that "age group" and look boys who are older just like you're what I mean is guys who are 18+

and yea you aren't pedophile if you're 30 years old and still look at 16yos then you'd be pretty much pedophile tho in wikipedia it says you need to look boys and girls who are younger than 12 so before they hit puberty also if you look 4 year older people that is pedophile too apparently.. dunno you can check from wikipedia if you want that's what it said there if you're more interested ^^

No one is 100% gay or straight. We all fall somewhere in between. While we're in puberty, we are curious, confused and sometimes embarassed to have feelings or attractions to the same sex...or not. This goes for ages too. Get some more info from guys who share their thoughts here. But don't do anything that would mess up younger kids. It might be ok with guys your own age but younger guys are even more confused than we are right now.

im in a similar postition i am romantically and sexually attracted to boys as well. so im kinda in the same boat as you :/
Also i think you should be able to be will who you want to be with, doesn't matter about age difference as long as you like the relationship and your both comfortable with it, i don't see any problem :)

What is it that you like about that age group? Looks, personality?

For me, I can tell when a guy is cute. Doesn't matter if they are ten, twenty, or anywhere in between (being gay does kinda help with that, LoL). But I could never be in a relationship with someone much younger than I am; we wouldn't have hardly anything in common. He could be drop dead Disney Channel cute, and it still wouldn't matter.

exactly like me, theres a lot of cute kids out there and i will acknowledge. some may be 11, some may be 17 or somewhere in between but theres no way i could see my self in a relationship or doing anything sexual with them under the age 15 because that is just gross, for me, i like to be around younger kids, not in like a weird way but i love children i love being around them, from babies up to 13, i just like to be around younger kids and i have no thoughts of doing anything sexual of course

Thank you all for your replies. :D

Okay, so I know I'm gay. I know my orientation is around guys because there's just no way I've ever, nor do I think I could ever be with a girl, though as Nixon said, that very well may change.

However, Peter - I don't like the looks for older guys. Older guys just aren't attractive to me.. like anywhere 17 and up usually I just don't think about those kinds of things with guys that age. I'm more into the baby cute rather than the manlyness, so go figure, it's people younger than 18. =D

To some people it may be considered gross, but ( I have friends who have almost exactly the same things in common as myself, and we are always arguing ) I find it easier to be with someone who doesn't have things in common with me. People who do, ( might just be the friends I have ) will continously argue with me if I express an opinion on something they equally have knowledge.

Baseball fan - to me, I find younger people immature. I have always been kind of immature, I look at the funny side of things, like an optimistic side of everything. So naturally I can relate to an immature person, plus I find immaturity kind of cute in some ways. :P

But yeah, I just don't want to become 30, and live lonely. I'd like to be with someone, but not if I'm still attracted to kids. Which is why I asked, cos if that's the case, I'd get some professional help to try and change the way I'm attracted to people. :D

Thanks

Could you see yourself doing anything sexual with the younger kids?

I already have so I guess so yeah.. but, not really at this age. When I was a bit younger I did.

[Rdsxbaseballfan]

If you can't see your self doing anything sexual with kids that young the. I think you will be fine, but if you start getting feeling like you want to do something to an 11 year old or around there then I would talk to someone about it

[Sean4U]

very attracted to guys period....no matter what age, but I would never do anything with a pre-puberty boy or even one that is just entering his teens...I have, yes, but then I was also younger....you most likely will always be attracted to boys, but you will need to control that just so that you don't do what you know isn't right

[Catholic Guy]

It will most probably change, it's changes a lot anyway all depending on your age
