Discovering your sexuality

[rhysyb]

If you are gay/bi, how and when did you first recognise that you find other boys attractive?

i came out to my parents when i was 10. i kinda figured out that i liked boys around 8/9 yrs old, i had a really big crush on my best friend at the time and never wanted to be away from him.

well I kind of always knew I liked boys and girls. without going into too much details my best friend Caleb was staying over and like many kids, we did some stuff together and that confirmed it for me , since I really enjoyed it

I guess I was in primary school when I started 'fancying' girls, and maybe 14 / 15 before I found myself checking out guys too.

I think I knew when I watched other guys on TV when I was little, and how I always looked into their eyes when I talked to them...I just would feel closer to them that way

[Meh Guy]

Always found them attractive but I never really put it into being gay. Then at about 14, I was worried that I was gay. Finally at 16 I came to terms with being bisexual and I'm okay with that :)

It seemed like I liked guys more than girls, but I still liked girls, I denied that I like guys in that way for about a year, and just gave up and rested on Bisexual leaning towards gay kinda thing :)

I've always been attracted to boys but it was confirmed when I enjoyed giving and recieving a blowjob and a snog from my friend.

when puberty hit and i realized i found guys attractive and wanted to do things with them

[jordanhardy]

Dunno really, i've always liked both. I guess i started to notice it around 11 or 12 when I became interested sexually.

It was about 3 years ago, i switched from straight porn to gay, and now i get turned on from lesbian and gay. (Im bi)

[The Lone Assassin]

It all started when my best mate turned round to me and she said "you have no interest in girls, so surely you're gay" I ignored the comment. I was 14 and it about April 2013. I started attending the RAF air cadets. At exactly the same time, another boy began attending as well. And wow, he is cute. I saw him and it was love at first sight. It took me a month to realise that I was gay. But it was a rather ironic story none the less...

I knew since I was in 2nd grade and I throughout elementary school in hints, but I was only confirmed in middle school that I truly was gay.

[DavidNorton]

I've always liked both boys and girls. I just didn't accept it till a year ago.

Well, my first crush was on a girl in 2nd grade, but I was always curious about boys too. When I was younger, my cousins (male and female) and I would sometimes sneak a peek and sometimes touch each other, and while we were just fooling around or experimenting, I think that was my beginning into discovering my sexuality. As I went through puberty, there were many times when I went from considering myself straight, to gay, to bi, to straight again, and so on. By like 5th grade I began having crushes on both girls and boys, and when I began watching porn, it was usually gay porn. When I graduated from elementary school, one of my friends (boy) told me he thought he was bi. I told him I thought I was bi too, and it was the first time I came out as bi to anyone. Because we graduated, I didn't really see him often, but we did have a little online relationship. As high school progressed, we kinda stopped talking, but I did end up telling another person that I was bi. However, I still wasn't exactly sure what I really considered myself. Eventually I just decided that it wasn't really a big part of me anyway, so I stopped thinking about my sexuality. Now that I'm 18 and close to being done with puberty, I still look at both boys and girls, and I still kinda consider myself bisexual. However, because I haven't really had a real relationship yet, I still am not 100% sure. But that is how I came to discover my sexuality lol

Few days ago :D

[mmppfc]

Ive always been sorta attracted to my friends, and when I was 13 I sorta knew and accepted that I liked boys too.

[JerryD]

I always like the girls and had several crushes, but when I was around 10 I started to noticed the cute boys in class and started to get crushes on them. When I started to masturbate at 12, I started too fantasize about the boys as much as the girls, and I always struggled with it and confused to whether I was gay or not. I had no idea that bisexuality was a thing, it was either you like girls or boys. But when I found out that I was not alone (Internet) and there was a name for it (Bisexual), I now accept myself as being what I am.

When I was 12 or 13 I had a big crush on my schoolmate until now.

[hockeyfan]

I'm str8. I only started liking girls around the time I was 12 or 13. I still find that strange because I've always been ahead if most ppl in puberty.

I started to have crushes on girls when I was about 7 or 8, it was only about late summer 2013 when I started to realise I liked guys too, and this year when I fully came to terms with it.

[LiamC]

Well I'm a firm believer it's always there, but of course any sexuality (gay, straight, bi, whatever) usually really manifests at a certain age, when you begin to properly notice boys or girls. I was about 11, and there was a really hot guy on Big Brother haha. I just couldn't stop thinking about him, his body, his face, everything... I had dreams and everything that actually were sexual involving my fetishes today, to be frank!

Then gradually I found more and more guys attractive, but I kind of lied to myself that I was bi for like 3 years... I still remember when I was like "nope I'm gay". I was talking to my online friend (who incidentally had the same path as me, he identifies as gay rather than bi now), he was on about a celebrity crush of his (Faith Hill at the time...) and I said "meh". He said something like "hmm it's always meh, is my taste that bad? :p" but it just kind of clicked in my head that I just like boys and I asked myself why pretend? So I responded "nah it's because she has a vagina" haha.

Well when I was almost 14 I started to find guys sexually attractive. then I started sexually experimenting with guys and concluded that i'm bi.
