| Guest Posts: n/a | Re: How long have you known? I knew since... I'm not sure. It feels as if I've always subconsciously known, and consciously since I was ten years old. I found out when I wanted to suck my friend's dick when we were masturbating together lol xD |

I first felt attraction beyond friendship in the 6th grade. And then exclusively towards guys. I acknowledged those feelings last year. This year I accepted myself as exclusively gay.

I've known since I was sixteen. I began to suspect some time around when I was 12, but it took me a while to figure it out because I was never quite sure on the differences between the concepts of homo- and heterosexuality.

I kinda always knew, but I played it off as admiration for guys. I got my first crush (and knew it was a crush) when I was 13, but I didn't accept that I was gay until I was 15.

| Dork Full Member  Gender: Male Location: Georgia (the state) Posts: 2,065 Join Date: Feb 2009 | Re: How long have you known? I remember having a crush on my best guy friend in the fourth grade, but I didn't know what being gay was then. I think I started to realize that I was actually gay when I was 12 or 13. But didn't accept it until I was 19 |

| Well Known Regular Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Kinsey 4ish, Panromantic Out Status: Some Location: Minneapolis, MN Age: 16 Posts: 154 Join Date: Feb 2011 | Re: How long have you known? Honestly, since I was 11 and introduced to porn by a friend I've been wondering because I was always drawn to the gay stuff. (somehow I never realized that that was pretty damning evidence. :P) Just about a month ago was when I really fully realized it. |

| Member Regular Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Some people Location: Hibbing, MN Age: 26 Posts: 16 Join Date: Jun 2008 | Re: How long have you known? I remember in 4th grade there were a couple boys I thought were cute. I would guess around 6th grade I actually figured out that I was gay. And looking back, I think 4th grade is right around the time when the whole "girls/boys are icky" thing starts to go away for kids, so that would make sense (in my head at least!) |
