    I discovered my sexual orientation when I was 20(still 20 btw) when I started to notice girls a lot more. What about you guys?

    I discovered multiple times: 10, 14, 21, 28 (a friends mom suggested I was lesbian) and recently again at 30. I've just always buried it.

    Bit of a broad question.
    Depends on what you mean by "discovered".

    As in...
    When did you discover/realise that you were attracted to other people of the same sex?
    You may or may not have known what gay/lesbian/bi meant at the time.
    You may or may not have known what the word orientation meant at the time.

    Or...
    When did you label yourself as gay/lesbian/bi?
    When did you come out to yourself and/or others?
    When did you accept yourself as gay/lesbian/bi (i.e. stop being in denial)?
    When did you first talk openly about your life as a gay/lesbian/bi person? (i.e. become comfortable with your orientation)

    I discovered that I had feelings for girls when I was really young, like 6 or 7 years old, but I didn't fully accept it until I was my early 20s.

    I discovered I was gay at 20 but I started questioning at 18 based off the fact I never really was interested in girls. I realized I wasn't heterosexual at 16.

    Its different for everyone. i was always into girls when i was younger and still am. But i was maybe 25 before i started thinking about doing sexual things with guys.

    I've always felt odd about my gender identity, but recently I learned what a transsexual is. Then began my internal and internet adventure of self discovery.:slight_smile:

    I think I always knew I liked girls, but I didnt realize I was different (and where I lived at the time "wrong") until around First grade. I kind of locked away everything until probably Eigth or Ninth grade, when I really opened up to my sexuality

    Because some time this year I started to notice girls a lot more and I started questioning myself like two months ago and that memory popped into my head.

    Oh okay...
    I don't remember ever being truly sexually, romantically, emotionally attracted to girls.

    When I was 12... Came to terms with it quickly. Went through a short "I'm straight and act straight" phase at the age of 13.

    I first became concerned that I might be gay when i was ten. But I would say that when I was 13 and kept getting erections in the boys locker room and showers that it was probably pretty definitive. :roflmao:

    I was 17 when I realized and accepted that I liked girls. I'd had suspicions starting a few years earlier, but I avoided thinking about it.
