How did you know?

I questioned whether I liked girls back when I was about 11-12 years old and I thought it was just that I wanted a relationship so my friends convinced me and one of the new boys in the neighborhood to go out...it was nice at first but I just didn't have that attachment or feel that excited about being in a relationship and I would still think about girls and even more so when we started going out...after going out for about a week my friend and I went to walk my "boyfriend" home and we were playing truth or dare on the way and my friend dared me to kiss him...and I just couldn't do it...needless to say he broke up with me the next day but from then On I knew I liked girls and it wasn't just about wanting to be in a relationship with someone...haven't thought about guys since

 

Lol, up until about 6th grade, I had non~sexual crushes on girls, I really knew I was into guys at my first summer camp. There was this Swedish councilor and... Yeah. I was pretty messed up for a while because I was really excited to see cute guys in my class each day but there were also pretty girls. I had minor (like not worth mentioning) encounters with guys and I started thinking more about them a lot more as the years went by. It took me a while to embrace and find things out. Here I am at 20 and I think I've got it settled but who knows?

 

In late middle school, I found myself checking out girls' butts and legs a lot, and suddenly I had the realization that it was sexual attraction. As the girls around me grew older, they got boobs and I had trouble not staring at them. I have realized that when I look at boys' bodies, I am jealous of their muscle but I am not looking at them in a sexual way.

 

I discovered I was gay at 11 from watching porn. It took me nearly 2 years to accept it though.

 

I start questioning when i was 13 and accept it when i was 14...
I realized i was different because i have no attraction at all towards girl, but i feel it (attraction) when looking at a really cute senior and all of the person i have crushed on were guys... it was long before i get my hand on something called porn.

when i watch porn for the first time then it became crystal clear, but i already accepted the fact that i'm gay by the time i watch it

 

I think I started out as bisexual. I was attracted to girls, but one day I was leafing through a magazine at a store and saw a photo of a hot, fit guy in spandex bike shorts and to my dismay got turned on. After a long struggle within myself trying to combat my desires, I began to accept them and started fanning the flames of my same sex attraction. I now identify as a homosexual. Haven't been turned on by women in a long time, though strangely enough lesbian porn is sometimes erotic. But hot guys in spandex really do it for me.

 

I always knew I liked girls, but I never thought about it. When I was 14 I started dating guys and I just told them I was bi, which I believed was truth. When I was 16 I realized I don't have physical attraction to guys, because my friends checked out boys and I looked at girls only. Sure, I could tell when a guy is cute, handsome, etc, but that's all. Then I figured I am totally gay, went through denial, self-hate, all those terrible things, and understood that my feelings for guys aren't going away. I could love any human being, but I feel physically attracted to only females. It was a long road.

 

I knew when I started finding naked men arousing while women did nothing (however, straight porn could/can do a little for me if the guy is hot).

 

I fancied my bestfriend.

 

When I was around 11 I started to have fantasies with a bad boy from my class. Some time later I started to feel attracted to my best friend.

 

Around 8 or nine. I didn't think of anyone in any sexual way until I dropped out of school in 2nd grade. I can't remember when, but my first earliest man crush I can remember is Lucas Grabeel from HSM. I remember really liking him as a character, and the more I thought about him the more attracted to his looks I became.

I didn't think of it at all, and pretty much accepted right away I was attracted to men instead of women. I didn't think anything of it because I was never around people who said that was a bad thing.

I DO remember what my short times as straight person were like. My first crush ever was Mary Poppins xD

 

I don't know if it is an appropriate story, but here it goes:

When I was 11 I tried jerking off, I knew I hat to think about something sexual, and at the time I tried thinking about a girl who sat in front of me. It wasn't working, when all of a sudden, I imagined her making out with a colleague from our class and it worked. Next time I did it i focused solely on the boy and that's how I realised. xD Sorry for the lack of a love story or something similar. However I just accepted the fact when I was 14...

 

^ Well then. :icon_redf

I was 6 when I felt I was different. I discovered I was gay at 12, and accepted it at 15.

 

I have always liked boys but since I grew up as a girl and was used to that I didn't think of it as anything peculiar, most of the girls around me also liked boys. Then in the puberty I discovered I was actually mentally male which suddenly meant I was gay, but my transsexual issues overshadowed my homosexual ones.

 

I could write out the whole tale, but let's just paraphrase: porn and DSi chatrooms.

 

Early on I had crushes on guys and girls, like four early on. I never really put a label on it until I was 12; which was bi. By the time I was 16 or 17, I altered that to pan because I really didn't care after going through a period of identifying as gray-a. Now, I'm somewhere else. I just say I'm queer to keep it simple, but I'm more or less on the panromantic demi gay side of things if that makes sense.

 

I always felt kind of 'gay', or different. I remember embarrassing myself when I was 9 - I said that Enriqué Iglesias and Ricky Martin were cute, or something like that. I also liked being dressed up as a girl. I remember asking my friend at the time if he wished he were a girl. Because I did. But he said no, and I was surprised because he was extremely effeminate. I also remember being 10, seeing a gay affair on Coronation Street and thinking that I probably was gay. But I would never dare to admit that to myself for another 10 years or so.

I am into kind of fat boys. I've always been fascinated by chubby boys, since at least the age of 7. I remember seeing candids of celebrities with their shirts off, looking a bit on the heavy side, and thinking this was amazing. I don't remember when it became a sexual thing. I remember being aroused by it when I was 10, but I'm not sure if that was the start of it. But I didn't think that was gay. I didn't know there was anyone else like me. I always thought that the stuff I was thinking about was something to be ashamed of. It was kind of unusual. But there's no denying that those thoughts were gay. I was thinking about boys and getting erections and my heart was racing.

 

My interests & feelings have grown, changed & evolved over time. I'm 46 & I had my first crush on a girl when I was nine. At that time, I didn't know about bi or even much about sex. It certainly wasn't the first crush I had on someone, though. I've always been interested in both, before, I had a full understanding of it. Now my husband is the only man I'm with sexually & romantically. Emotionally (as friends), I have a lot of guy buddies. I wish I could tell you the moment I had an epiphany. It's just always been part of me & has ebbed & flowed.

 

I had "girlfriends" in elementary school and "liked" girls in middle school but they never gave me "that" feeling and I always checked out guys, their arms, chests etc and could careless about boobs. I felt different but didn't associate myself with gays....

....until I met my best-friend and completely fell in love with him, he's hot, smart, smells good and being around him felt right and I realized I get "that" connection from guys not girls.... So now I'm older and understand myself better and consider myself gay without a doubt.
