How old were you when you find that you gay ??
-
The classic question. I knew something was different with me at 11 but could not put a name on it. Then in my early teens I developed crushes on my schoolfriends but again I was too nervous to come out or telll any one about my feelings. My sister somehow worked it out but that was between us. It was at 16/17 I took the jump and met and finally had sex with a young married man that was incredibly gentle as he was very well endowed. My debut was pleasant and memorable and then I had no doubts from that day what I wanted and what I was.
-
My first crush was before pre-school, around 5/6, when I found my cousin handsome and attractive. but I didn't know the word 'gay' or consider myself gay until 11 that I finally found out the idea of being gay.
-
My first attraction to a guy was when I was 3, really sure about it when I was 11. I did like some girls in between, but by the time I was 11, that had faded and knew my real and strongest attractions were to guys.
-
Since 12 years old. At that age, I had some games with my cousin. After that some tv refferences makes me feel gay like power rangers clothes (that volume is wow), some children actors like Cristopher Castilli from Step By Step, the blue turbo ranger, and some brazilian actors makes my dick up.
-
I perfectly remember when i was in school, i ended up kissing some classmate under the playground slide. I was a bit less than 10
-
I knew when I was 11 - 12 but I "tried" to deny that part of me. I came out when I was 19
-
I was aware of it when I was 5 or 6, as my first vivid memory is of my mother freaking out when she saw me trying to watch one of my uncles shower. I didn't quite understand it though until a few years later, when a talk, I mean condemnation from the church minister informed me of my "problem". I never denied it, but it rarely came up. If someone asked, I would answer honestly, much to my mothers shame. Her obsessive need to have a perfect family and appear to be the perfect family was quite the constant reminder that I was a problem.
I grew up in a Christian church, went to a Christian school, and only knew other Christians. Most people knew that I was gay, and didn't appreciate it. I never acted on it in any way, nor did I act gay in any way. There were no tell tale signs, but with a closed group of people, it was known.
Anyways, long story short, I went quite crazy at 18 shortly after meeting and having sex with the first gay person I had met (That wasn't the cause). I had no interest in men or women until I was 24, then turned back to "normal"… mostly. Yay!

It's amazing to read your stories and see little bits of myself in many of them.

It is always hard to pinpoint the exact time, but even as a child, when I was around 8 years old, I was very interested in the male body and especially in watching or showering with boys. Naked boys or men fascinated me but I could not understand why nor did I know what being gay was. Then joining the boy scouts and going to camp opened a whole new world at 12 and as they say, the rest is history
-
I think when I was 13 I knew for sure. Puberty kicked in, for a short while I had the hots for the female sex, but that changed shortly after. Yeah, the puberty confusion happened the other way around for me than is usually told to be the case, hah! ;D

I didn't know the term "gay" when I was a kid and I've always thought (and still does) that being infatuated with a dude is normal.
My homophobic parents taught me that, "gay" people are obnoxiously effeminate people who wears make up and so on…
It was only on my 1st year in High School (14 y.o.) that everything became clear to me -- that I was gay all along, and the things that my parent told me were nothing but hate.

My parents taught me that, too. They fed me this stereotype that gay men are really effeminate and obnoxiously open and "in your face" about being gay and discussing sex. We're also very well groomed and lean and toned and have a niche for the arts. When I came out, I "couldn't be gay" because I was a clumsy tone-deaf colorblind bear that had been feeding them lies about liking girls since forever.

I really don't know when it started, I think it happens when I was 14 y.o. It was when I discovered porn for the first time. I never feel aroused by looking at women. And, I always feel strange when I look at man things. Especially older folks. So yeah…
-
I don't remember a time where I wasn't gay. I think I've known it since I was a child.
-
around 6/7 years old
-
VERY young… like before puberty
my cousin who's about 5 years older than me showed me a (straight) porno VHS he had, and I found myself mesmerized by the men and totally ignored the women. then I coerced him into letting me suck his dick lol
-
Around 14 years, it just dawned onto me that the videos I watch I watch them for the men in them. :surprise:

I'm not effeminate nor am I masculine, maybe something in between. I am not that over-sexual too, that it's everything that I talk about. But these things shouldn't matter. It's not like we're hurting anybody. It's "their" problem that they're annoyed by it.
I'm not mad at them for telling me these lies - they just aren't educated about this and then there's "religion". From this situation, I've learned a lot: to always ask or question about things before making a judgement, etc…

I was too scared to do anything until I was 18 - I just thought I had a tendency that will slowly subside ::)
