At what age did you first realise you were gay or bi?

Just curious when you first realised you were gay or bi? (had an attraction to the opposite sex)

Poll is anonymous!

Around 8 or 9 was when I first developed an interest in a boy in my school. As as soon as I realized it, I got scared. I was very little.

I voted 6, but it was actually around 10 ! Had crushes towards different classmates in my class.

Although I wasn't sure at that time, thinking that I might just envy them as they were good at sports and had a nice body, I never completely ruled out this possibility.

@seeking Mine was young too (5) but just a man crush! LOL

I was too heavy in denial to admit it, I want to say i was maybe 9 or so, but I had no idea what the feelings were, I just knew I was different.

By man crush you mean you already had crushes on grown men ? lol

I think I also had it...but I forgot when did it start. I enjoyed too much watching those half-naked action movie heroes in action

I selected 11. That's when I realised I had a crush on my older sister's boyfriend

When I was young, the show Gilligan's Island was popular in reruns. The big debate was always "Ginger or Mary Ann".  I remembered hearing that debate and thinking:  I'd like to hang with the Professor!

Seems like I must have answered this before either here or somewhere else...but I think it was about 9, maybe 8, that I knew what I wanted.  Yeah, the Professor was cool but I actually met Gilligan and he was cool too.  Anyway, that was then and that was a long time ago in some terms.  The late 50's/early 60's was a very different time.  I do wonder what it would have been if it had been the time around 2015 or so.

Maybe some one here can say??

I was 16.
