When I was younger, a few girls had kissed me and we kind of did some other stuff. I was like still in elementary school I beleive? Yea I was. And I remember one time I wanted to kiss this girl that I would hang out with that had lived next door to one of my grandparents house. We were doing something before like playing house I think and like I leaned in to kiss her but her mom came and she told me to leave. In a honesty I had no idea as to why it had happened back then. I mean, my parents never talked about LGBT community. Like I had no idea as to what happened back then. And now that I started to question myself (i am21) and started slowly to accept myself as a lesbian maybe that's why it had happened back then. Maybe I did like girls after all and it just took a really long time to accept it. My question is does childhood experiences play a part of your sexual orientation?
I quite agree. I got crushes on girls and boys, but I didn't want to kiss the girls. One day I tried to kiss a boy, a friend of mine, in the cheek and he told me boys don't do that! I did it once or twice more because for me it was perfectly natural, but stopped because he didn't like it and we were busy playing videogames. shortly after I forgot about it, and when my friends started to pay more attention to girls(10 or 11) I imitated them although I did not want to be kissed by them.
Well my childhood experiences primarily involved girls. I remember I acedentally kissed a girl whom I found pretty at the time. I think as I grew up, I never really thought if I was anything other than straight. I was well aware of LGBT things, but never really considered myself different. There wasn't really a sign. And I never had any crushes on guys either. I always thought of them as friends even when I knew that there was a lesbian, gay and transgender on my swim team in high school. However, the father figure attraction was there. Still trying to figure it out. I suppose for me, childhood experiences does play a role in my orientation, which is why I'm always going back and forth with gay, bi or even straight.
I think it can play a role in figuring out sexuality for some people but not all. I never had crushes on either gender as a kid. But like most little girls, always thought I would marry a boy one day. Although, from the time I was 12-14 years old, I always had this reoccurring dream. I'm dancing at my wedding but my dance partner cannot be identified as male. Instead, it's a shadowy figure. Looking back, maybe my mind was trying to tell me something.
The answer is yes. In my personal experience, yes. Definitely. In my experience, nothing happened at all. I was in my third grade and staying at a friend of the family's house after school when on one day, their early teenage son came into his room from the shower which was where I was reading or whatever. It was definitely an emotional experience as I found myself attracted to his body and I couldn't myself from looking at his nether regions.
I remember when I was six that my best friend told me that girls could marry girls so that meant that we could marry each other and I thought that was the greatest thing ever.
Maybe for some people. Not for me though. I had crushes on girls up until I was 16. Although I knew I was bisexual at least since about 14, I never had any crushes on people of the same gender until I was 16. I really can't think of any "signs" other than the fact that I wasn't as interested as most boys were in girls.
I have to agree with you on that one. Eversince I stared considering that I wasn't straight, I started to notice that I had crushes on guys as well. Very few, but I notice it now. Up until last year I've had numerous crushes on girls, but never on guys cause I always hung out with guys, and there wasn't really a sign.
For me, not so much. I started having an attraction to girls when I was 13, and I had no idea about gay, straight, purple with a big head, nothing like that. Then at 14 I had a crush on a 23 year old butch woman who was in the Navy, who was staying with my family. At that age, I learned the term 'lesbian'. None of my experiences in life 'led' me to feel that way.
