How old were you when you knew you were gay? I knew I was when I was in 5th grade so I saw 10-11 years old. I tried to come out to a friend in 6th grade, but chickened out.

Oh my God! You joined on my birthday!
Anyway, there wasn't really a time where I realised that I was gay. I always kinda knew that I liked guys and over time that was just something that I learned to accept and have in my mind. It wasn't really until I joined VT that I really started realising that I was actually gay but it wasn't a sudden realisation sort of thing. See what I'm saying?

well I am bi but I admitted to myself I liked guys as well as girls when I was 12. We had to change for gym everyday that year (7th grade) and I knew most guys did not care about seeing the other guys in their underwear, but I was certainly attracted to some. and I just kind of admitted to the fact I liked both guy and girls

I should have worded it differently. I should have said "When did you accept being LGBT?"

I figured out that I actually likes boys when I was 11 almost 12, accepted it when I was 12

I was abused when I was 5. I'm bi but I've always been attracted to men since.

It was when I was 13 that I first realised that I was attracted to guys as well.

I think like early 14? I don't really remember tbh. I only started accepting it recently though.

I'm sexually attracted to girls, but I happened to kiss a friend at a party (he's bi, so he started). It was for fun but it was so good. I wouldn't say I got turned on, but it was such a good feeling that I got so close to him. My gf was not there, fortunately. Am I getting bi?

Life happens! Relax and let what happens happen. You felt it was "so good" so I would guess you are open to a repeat. Enjoy! :yeah:

I realised around the age of 12 that i found guys sexually attractive but i didn't know much about the terms back then and all i knew was being gay is supposedly terrible. Then i had a huge crush on a girl friend. So i didn't pay much attention to it back then. Two-three years later i had my first same sex crush and realized i was possibly gay.

More likely bi, I think.

Specifically, i would be biromantic homosexual but i rather just prefer queer or gay for all effects and purposes.

I have always kinda known I liked boys, but I knew for sure when I was about 10yrs old and thats when I came out to my parents.

it is hard to say. time well tell on that one. I would say at the least you might be a little bi curious, but it is hard to say. don't worry about putting on a label on yourself. if something more happens, see where it takes you :) if you don't want to, that's ok too

He also has a gf, but he said he had a bf before. I meet him often, since he's a track teammate and a good friend. Do you think it could ruin both our relationships if we keep on making out? For me it's just fun, but maybe he has deeper feelings.

I started pushing away the thoughts when I was twelve. I finally came out as bisexual last August.

it could. if he has actual feelings for you, he might be hurt down the road if you don't end up feeling the same way. the important thing to do will be to establish boundaries and discuss what you both want out of it. not to say that still couldn't change down the road but it helps to at least know what you both want going in.
you both are in relationships though and you should consider what your gfs might do if they find out if your not in an open relationships. while I am bi, I have not done anything with a guy or girl other than my gf since I started dating her exclusively.

Yea actually I made it clear that I do not have feelings for him, which I hope he understands. I don't want this whole thing to ruin our friendship. It seems to work right now. However he has come forward with an idea that I dunno what to do with: he proposed to have sex with our gfs in front of each other. Even if I agreed, I do not think my gf would be game.

I've always known something was different, but the realisation came to me almost exactly a year ago. So 15 I guess

well obviously can't do anything your gf doesn't want to do. some couples do that, but it could be just an excuse to see you/be around you in that situation. it is hard to say and I can't speak for your friend. like I said, make sure boundaries are established and then stick to them.

I wouldn't have thought but my gf was into it, so it happened last night after a party at a friend's place where we slept afterwards. It was awesome. But we sticked to our gfs lol. I didn't know it's so exciting to do it while watching them in action. However I think my friend enjoyed it the most, since he's bi and has a crush on me lol.

I didn't understand when I was a kid, but I'm sure I've been interested in guys for my entire life. I remember thinking about guys instead of girls well before puberty even hit. There have been times where I have been interested in girls, and times where I tried to suppress my feelings for guys, but it never worked.

As far back as I can remember. I always looked at guys "different". I didn't think about "being gay" until I was 12 or 13 tho, probably something to do with puberty.

I knew I was gay at 14, the way I knew is quite weird. I was watching the porn one day and was getting bored of straight stuff/not getting turned on so I flicked over to say gay porn for the banta and low and behold I'm gay.

As a kid, i was a lot different than most boys. I liked to dress up princess costumes, play with girls, play barbie, all those good stuff but it wasnt until I realized I was gay when I was 12. I found out I was attracted to the boys in my class!
