When your young?

[shikachunin]

As i was growing up, i always tried to look at penises when i was at urinals, and i always tried to picture myself with guys. I dated 2 girls but i never felt any kind of love-ish connection.

So, is it possible to know that you're not straight, even if you're a young child, even if you didn't know terms/definitions such as "gay", "straight", "bi", etc?

There is no real proof as to that claim I don't think. There are theories as to "early warning signs", like wanting to play with the same sex on the playground and so on. I don't know really. I do believe we are born with it but then again we don't know what it is we are born with at that age. We all were curious at that age like. We didn't know what it was and whether it had any affect on our lives. However I also believe that as we get hormonal we begin to associate this curiosity with being homo, or bisexual.

Just my thoughts.

Looking back... I've noticed I was gay my whole life but didn't realize it. When I was little I'd find myself checking out guys chest... So you could be right

I think I knew when I was like 5. I didn't know then but when i look back it was kinda obvious

When you're that young, you really don't know what gay is.

I didn't know what gay was until I was 11 or maybe 12. :

Yea i guess but remember ur just curious at first so cant really say anything b/c kids are always curious

before you hit puberty you never know who you will grow up to be and who you will like but i surpose ther could be hints in your first years as to who you will be into

Very true. At a young age, you arent going to know if you are gay/bi or not, you just know that Girls rule and boys drool, or Boys rock and girls have cooties. Honestly, when I was very young, I was curious like you. I figured out that I liked guys and girls until I was around 11. Ive had a BF (which didn't last long) and several GFs, which hinted me that I was Bi, but more towards girls. I'm always here to help! :D

this is a HIGHLY controversial subject. personally i don't believe it. actually i don't believe we truly know our sexualities until we are out of college and not so horny. there is no one answer. everyone says something different. however i will say that even as we are younger it is certainly possible to be attracted to the same sex or the opposite sex simply because we are curious, though it may not dictate our sexuality.

[ModernWarfare]

it's definetly possible, especially if you have already had sex with the same sex or both
