I have a question for you all???

I dont think any question is stupid, what is it they say better to ask the question and look stupid for that minute that never ask and be stupid forever haha, only joking.

I thought I was straight up until I was in my mid twenties, once I came to terms with it I can see that actually I have always been gay but I honestly never realised, and I dont mean I was in denial I really just never realised.

 

me

 

I assumed I was straight until 19. The reason was that I never really did any dating and simply wasn't interested in a relationship, so I never even thought about it.

 

I didn't realize until later on (and only fully accepted it last year). I was very naive as a teenager. In retrospect, the attractions were always there. I just didn't know what name to put on them. Since I never knew what true sexual attraction was until way after I was married, I didn't know that most guys felt a whole different way about women than I did.

I guess a question I have for you is, did you feel attraction to boys at some point the same way you feel about girls now?

 

Hmm not too sure about KNOW I was ATTRACTED to the same sex before puberty, however now I look back there were differences.

I'm not even flamboyant, but I always hung out with the girls, I always thought what they were doing was so much more fun, hand-stands, skipping ropes, talking etc. I still hung out with the guys but it was always so much more fun with the girls, to this day I still like girls more than guys (ironic huh?), I never saw eye-to-eye with guys on a lot of things, and one thing I never got was why every guy was obsessed with football, I hated the game.

However I don't think I realised my attractions until I looked at porn, at which point it became very clear.

 

I matured pretty quickly. I may not have known it at the time, because I'd lived such a sheltered life, but the thoughts I had (even at a scarily early age) definitely indicated my sexuality.

However, everyone's different. I assume that, usually, one becomes more aware of tjeir orientation when they begin to have an interest in relationships of any kind. Although that is uusually around puberty.. Well everyone's different.

 

Yeah this is me completely as well, I found that there are a crap ton of hints that you can miss before you finally accept it.

 

Okay, one, your title shouldn’t have question marks LOL because it’s a statement not a question. LOL

Second, I think realized I wasn’t straight around the beginning of high school but I had hit puberty in Grade 8, so I was past puberty. I always had crushes on girls but now (I’m 22 now) I crush on guys more but some girls make my heart beat fast. Which leads me to believe that bisexuals exist. Yay for me.

 

I realized it at the age of 15, but was in denial for 3 years, I couldn't accept it until recently. Before puberty I just felt curious about the same sex, but never felt sexual attraction.

 

I thought I was asexual until a little over a month ago. It was at that time that I realized that I'm actually bisexual. And I'm 18. And you have plenty of time to figure it out. So no worries.

 

I think I've always known...
But I first came out when I was 14. Looking back, I wasn't ever not gay!
And yes, it's easy to develop same-sex attraction during the later teens. x

 

I didn't have a clue I liked guys until about half a year ago (I was 18 then), and I'm pretty much gay now.

 

I was past puberty when I realized I was not straight, like in seventh grade, but didn't fully accept it until this year . Also, I was in denial for awhile since I didn't think it was right. I am not sure why anyways.

 

I hit puberty when I was 11, and started being attracted to girls as soon as I turned 12, and my feelings for guys fade in and out. When I was younger, I had always been attracted to guys (even really young). I still am attracted to guys, but not in the same "relationship type" way.

 

I guess I'm like you: I thought I had crushes on guys, but then I realised they were nothing, not compared to what I began feeling for girls.

I thought I was bi for a while, but it was only really a way for me to feel more normal. Once you get used to the idea of not being straight, hopefully everything will become much clearer xx

 

Yup. I felt like some guys were more attractive from an age earlier than puberty, but I repressed thinking I was anything but straight till I was 17, but I am positive I have liked guys more than girls throughout my life.

 

I had attractions to the same sex when I was about 7, so pretty early ^^

 

I had an immediate attraction to the same sex. In fact, I can not ever recall feeling otherwise.

For the longest time though I didn't realize that being gay was a legitimate thing. I thought that, despite my attractions, only boys and girls could be together. So for the longest time I, in my childhood innocence, decided that I would have to become a girl in order to be with a boy. This idea was fine with me, as I felt no real attachment to gender as a child.

Then shortly before puberty started I learned that two guys or two girls could in fact be together, and I knew that was for me.

But, to answer your question; I had same sex attractions before puberty. And some people don't develope attractions on either side of the spectrum until during/after puberty.
