    I'm just wondering, at what age did you guys started questioning about yourself and why?

    Me I started questioning at 20 and I am 21 and I am still questioning and it all started with the question Am I A Lesbian and my mind won't be quiet about it since. No idea why I started it late lol

    I think around 15 I started questioning, but was in denial until I was 16 or 17.

    I started questioning in about the end of 5th grade... but didn't come out until about 7th grade. The reason i started questioning is because I had seen gay porn and yeah... the rest is history xD

    Like last year when I was 14. I started questioning late. I originally thought I was just a very late bloomer, but I'm now more sure that I'm romantically attracted to guys and probably demi or asexual.

    I think I recognized it in myself around 12 or so but didn't start to seriously consider it as a reason for "why isn't it working out with girls" until my early 20s.

    Questioned once when I was 16 but started fully questioning at 21. I'm almost 23 now.

    I've started questionning my gender when I was 9 or 10 (but I quickly got over with it even though it came back sometimes) and my orientation when I was 13.

    Hard to say for sure. I am thinking possibly mid-20s. I am pretty sure I had at least one strong questioning phase in my early 30s.

    To me: engaging/enjoying, questioning, and denial are completely different things.

    Enjoyed: 14 or 15
    Denial: 14-16 ish
    Questioned: 17

    I noticed my attraction for guys when i was 19. why? Im not sure, it just happened when i thought about my roommate. after i questioned myself i denied it and I put it out of my conscious mind for a year. I've been completely aware of it for a little over a year now and I'm 21. the questioning is persistent but there's probably a reason for that.

    12-14 range, I first recognized it at my first summer camp in the scouts. Can't remember my age exactly at that time.

    I started questioning at about...13. I guess that is pretty young. But before I even starting questioning I had a girlfriend per say. I didn't even know it was "wrong" (not saying its wrong, but I was told it was then) to like girls or that it was "different." I just really liked this girl, she was my first love and my first kiss. So...I guess I knew I was gay before I knew what gay was! haha

    11...Didn't really question myself, I just started to feel attracted to a boy in my school...And accepted the thoughts rather than try to push them away...

    I started questioning very early (compared to what I've heard others say), at I think twelve years old. I don't know what exactly made me think my straightness was off, but for some reason I figured out something wasn't quite correct with me labeling myself as straight. It almost felt like I was lying to myself, even though that sounds a bit dramatic (more in the English language, I think). Once I started to think of myself as bisexual, I felt a little freer. But I still am not out to my family. I fear that even though I know they love me very much, some of them might let their very conservative (I think this is the word used for this, sorry if it is wrong) views get in the way of correct thinking.

    What I've learned from listening to people's stories is that it is never too early to begin questioning if you fit the wrongful default of being straight and that there shouldn't be judging for someone knowing they were not what people think they are from a very young age.

    I don't think I ever NOT questioned before I figured everything out..

    I knew I was different since I was little.

    I was 17. I like to think that we never stop questioning, though. We just settle on a word.

    Since about 11 I guess, but I kept it in the back of my mind until the past few years.

    I started questioning when I was twelve even though I felt different when I was younger. I stopped denying my sexuality when I was fourteen. I'm almost nineteen and I still don't know my sexuality. I hate questioning my sexuality.
