Hello everyone! While I do intend to be somewhat active on this forum, I decided the best first post would be this one. I hit puberty on my late 16's early 17's so over 2 years and some change quite likely. Before that I was asexual, I was aroused by pornography and even more so romance/erotica novels but not actual live people. As it was when I did hit puberty I started seeing guys differently, oh Moises smells really good, Aron was rather tall. There wasn't any agonizing moments of, "Not me" or, "You're not one of *those* people". It was just so I am gay. I think it might be because I have rather few memories of before I was 13 or so, around 20 maybe 25 on a good day. Not action-memories but more like I can't really recall events, minuscule that they may be, from that period of my life. I am not a social person so there weren't many people that made me worry about how they would see me now. Not so close to my family, my two friends are bisexual or not entirely straight, so knowing myself what I am was enough. I will always be with myself, so this just means I came closer to understanding Alt.
Welcome to Empty Closets. Congratulations on coming out to yourself, and accepting your sexual orientation. Perhaps with self-acceptance, you will also find ways to become more social, and wanting to forge connections with others.
