Too old?

[MTB1997]

In your opinion, do you feel that there is an age were same-sex experimenting is just being in denial about you sexuality?

[MechaSniper]

18+ years

[Ethe14]

Yeah maybe 16 or 17

[BreakFall]

18 about most males discover there sexuality by then

[ksdnfkfr]

18. When someone 18 posts about something like that I'm like at that age there's probably not room to ponder it anymore.

[NudistKid]

I agree with everyone else around 18

[Awesomeguy13]

About 18 or over.

[refrigeratorx]

i disagree actually... i feel like there is a lifetime to explore sexuality. You may never have a thought or discovery until youre in your 30s or beyond! I'm not that old obviously, so i don't know... but i feel like people may not realize what they like until they try it and some may wait many many years to try something they like and others may never find out because they never try it at all.

I believe that by the time one can fully understand what he is doing whether its satisfying or not, whether they feel comfortable doing is when one should know what sexuality they are. There is no age in which one must know

I would say when you're an adult. By that age you are sexually active a lot more than a teenager. But enjoying sexual experimentation with the same-sex is different being gay for say. I suppose you could be leaning towards a sexuality per say but if you don't think it's serious, such as like seriously being sexually and or attracted to someone like the same-sex then i wouldn't think that it's something to worry about. There is also a point in which same-sex experimentation can just be stopped and called normal sex with the same-sex in which it would be for LGBT people. So i think it's up to you to draw the line between you sexually are attracted to them or it's just experimentation and curiosity. :) Hope this helps.

Yeah I think I would say over 18 too

[Zanman11]

I would say 18, but everyone develops differently

[Landbuscus97]

17 or 18

[Bmble_B]

yup like everyone else I'd say 17 or 18

[backjruton]

I guess I've at least for the past 4 or 5 years always know how I feel. More so the past year though... Telling everyone I was bi in school was the first step, but I've now told them I'm gay instead but now feel too awkward to tell them anything else related. I can't really even talk to my best friend about it because I can never get her to somewhere quiet but I guess she's the same as me with being homosexual as well as having a romantic attraction to both genders at the same time. She's probably the only person I could talk to properly about it as we're the most like eachother in a lot of other things too... but I definitely wouldn't experiment, as my sexuality is definitely something I'm sure of.

I think everyone should say they're bi until they're actually sure... because "Straight but curious" when you're experiencing with people of both genders sounds quite stupid to me.

hear hear

[imthomas]

No I dont

[Just Sayin]

I guess i would prolly say 18 im 17 and me and my best friend friend still mess around sometimes

[CosmicNoodle]

A lot of people say 18, but I do prefer to think that you have your hole life to explore your sexuality, not just from 12 to 18. But ye, if your experimenting at 18 then there's a good chance theres a little more going on than you'd like to admit.

[DerBear]

Well yes, because by then if you've been doing it for awhile its become part of the norm and is more engaging in sexual acts rather than just 'experimenting'. Experimenting is supposed to be something done rarely or not very often to get a feel for something. Whereas if you're doing this on a semi-regular basis then it isn't experimenting because you've accepted it as a norm.

Thats a very good point

Thats a very good point

Thanks :D

So I'm 18 and I haven't ever expierementef or fooled around with anyone so I wouldn't actually know if I might like a guy more than I do a girl..I would like to think that I'm straight but I don't know 100 %

[vtt18]

In your opinion, do you feel that there is an age were same-sex experimenting is just being in denial about you sexuality?

Yes. I knew at 10, but denied it until I was 11. I'm 18 now and I have "straight" friends who try to ask me if I'd be down to help them explore their desires. They'll say they're not gay, but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck...They don't understand that using the wrong label doesn't change the facts. If you like to hookup with other guys, you're not straight no matter how you try to spin it.

[male_greece]

unfortunatelly yeah

[Rocketsnail]

I'd say after you leave school is too late, whatever age that is.

[Hermes]

My personal view is that it is not so important how long your sexual attraction or curiosity for a particular sex lasts, or what age you are at the time, but rather how strong it is compared to your attraction to the other sex and to what extent it will factor in who you choose as a partner.

So say, for example, that you are more attracted to girls but have some attraction to guys. If your mate offers to suck your cock and it seems like something you'd like to happen you don't have to know whether it is just a passing phase or a permanent part of your sexuality. At that moment it is an attractive proposition and if there is no other reason not to go ahead, for example a mongamous relationship, then why not go for it. On the other hand you wouldn't be looking for dates with guys and if your mate suggested becoming boyfriends you'd presumably tell him that is not where your major interest lies.

Good answer. I'm 17 and curious. I want to experiment, but haven't and may not before I'm 18. Wish I had when I was 13-14, then maybe I wouldn't be thinking about it now.

Like I said, you've got your hole life to play with the wonderful gift that is sexuality. You may as well experiment with it a little now. Why hold back, you may discover you love it. And you may discover you hate it. Why sit on the wall unsure?

[Chase_57]

I don't think that you have an age when you need to know. I think it is based on experience, you could be convinced that you are straight but then one day you could experiment with someone and realize, "wait I like this!" You don't have to be 18 to have that moment, you could be 30, 18 is just when most people have it figured out.

[DeletedAccount123]

One cool thing about kids experimenting younger now is that they can have a normal adolescence if they happen to be gay or bi, if they find out about it young enough! Like they can go on actual dates if they want, instead of just messing around. :P

But having said that, I don't think there's a set age like 18, especially if you're raised in a really conservative household or something. It's more like a gray area after you move out and are on your own.

Puberty for Boys :arrow2: Teen Sexuality and Gender

[Body odah Man]

15 +

[sqishy]

From being an adult onwards, it's mostly not experimenting anymore. But I think sexuality changes so experimenting can go on throughout life with that

[Lovelife090994]

I don't think it has an age limit. Some people stay scared and never do anythinng sexually until later. Sexuality is something you have your whole life to unravel and it can be fluid or a mystery for some, I.e. gray or queer. I say I'm bisexual but I have bigender and asexual tendencies and attributes so that gray-queer would fit more.

[Babs]

Seriously? There is no age limit. Sometimes people don't experiment until later on in life, and that's fine. It's bullshit to say they're just "in denial of their sexuality".

If they dont try anything til later in life thats a little different than starting when your 15 and still messin around at 25 and calling it experimenting. Thats when i think it turns into denial

Shit, I misunderstood the question. My bad. I thought it meant starting to experiment at a late age.
Though I stand by what I said, I don't think the age should matter.
