    I sort of knew but confirmed when taken totally by surprise by a gorgeous man coming out of a swimming pool. I lingered longer than I should have and got an erection!! After that it's been a struggle understanding that I was gay until recently. Now I just embrace it. Love it in fact. Feel free :slight_smile:

    I should add I have a beautiful boyfriend for benefits who I see just on occasions when needs arise.

    I realized I was pansexual when I had a crush on a girl for the first time. I loooove her, even though I met her on a video game, and I was 11..

    When my friend asked me what my sexual orientation was and I had no idea whatsoever. A couple of months later I started crushing on guys in my class.

    My best friend told me what 'gay' meant, and I thought, Hm... I really wouldn't mind dating a girl...

    When several years had gone by and i had only watched gay porn, and the fact that when i watched straight porn, i wanted to be the girl and watching the guys instead lol when i was making out with guys occasionally even though i told people i was straight. it wasn't really one defining moment, it was more of an "oh shit I'm doing all of these things and I'm not interested in girls like i thought" lol

    As a trans! guy, it took me coming to terms with my real gender before I even started looking at others. I realized I was mostly into guys when I was watching a tv show with my best friend. My (now favorite) male character came on stage and I immediately said, OUT LOUD, "oh wow. He can take me anytime." My best friend, who knows that I'm trans proceeded to laugh her ass off and comment that she now had a gay best friend. Since then I've realized that I'm more attracted to dudes rather than women even if I consider myself mostly asexual.

    It's hard to pin down, but I did notice at one point that I couldn't get much out of straight porn unless there were good shots of the guy (and, as most of you already realize, straight porn usually focuses almost entirely on the woman). Then I discovered gay porn, and felt super guilty (I was ashamed enough about the straight porn, because religious guilt...), but oh my, did that work way better!

    Realizing I was gay came along with realizing I was trans. I was watching gay porn one night, (because even when I id'd as a straight girl it was the only thing I could really get off on) and I just thought to myself, "gay guys are so cute, I wish I could be one" and it just.. clicked haha XP

    I kind of confirmed it when I crushed on a boy from a paralel class at the age of 12 I think.
