How did you know?

I was still in kindergarten. Uh, three Japanese high school students ended up being punished with detention because of my naughtiness. They were three hot Japanese guys with a huge bike. It was hard to resist.

Honestly it wasn't their fault at all. Okay so they accepted my naughtiness but the fault was mine.

Nice story Jay... hehehe.:biggrin:

My fantasies involved guys not girls. Simple as that really.

I didn't necessarily "know" when in elementary school, but I knew I was different. I mainly had guy friends and did guy things, but there was that gay streak in me that would lean feminine. I loved being around girls during a time when girls had "coodies", and I'd listen to girly music. I also had a huge collection of beanie babies/stuffed animals while all the other boys were into hotwheels and batman.

It wasn't until I was probably 12 when I finally figured out that I that I was mesmerized by the male physique.
I remember the first time I actually tried looking for gay porn- I was so nervous, and I was literally shaking. It was a whole other side of me that I never looked into.... Plus my mother/brother could of walked in at any moment.

For years the kids around me would call me gay and queer and stuff, and I never understood why. But then one day I found porn. Once I found the porn and it felt... great... I started questioning it. And in 8th grade I went out with a girl to see if there was any feeling. We went on for years but it just wasn't me and she understood (she's a really good friend of mine now). Ever since then I've been comfortable with 'gay'

I noticed at about 13/14 in the changing rooms that some guys had nice asses and then occasionally glanced at the penis (in the usually way), then when I found porn I headed to the gay sections. Then when I was about 16 I fell for a guy, it just happened, from friends we kissed etc and then we dated; probably the biggest sexual self discovery ever as I found out everything with him. I also tried dating a girl to be all "I'm not gay" but gave in to my true feelings.

I kinda told the story in another thread, but it was something like "what AGE did you realise you were gay?"

Basically when I was about 16 I thought I was straight until my best buddy started getting a lot closer to me, being more physical, teasing me a lot with his body and knowing I liked it. It was a big deal for me because I knew I liked him and guys, but wasn't ready to admit it. One of those unrequited love things that never happened but helped me learn a lot about myself. It's lurking in the threads somewhere, I'm too lazy to type it all again lol...

Oh yeah and when I had porno magazines before then, my favourite was always 'one for the ladies!' a few pages of naked guys and boyfriends... I was in serious denial

for me it wasn't like i didn't ever not know. I've always been attracted to both, even since i was a romatisizing little kid who dreamed of bieng married one day. I knew i was "different" because i was raised in a private xian school, and around the age of 13 i wrapped my head around "sexuality" and realized i was termed "bisexual."

How do i know? i have always felt the same compassion, the same drive, and lust, for both sexes, there was no secret to it, to me at least.

I was best friends with a boy in school that lived right down the street from me. When we hit puberty we became curious and started experimenting. Him and I fooled around and had sex on and off for four years. When I was 18 I ran back into the closet because I thought being gay was wrong in gods eyes. I did the church thing for awhile and tryed to live a straight life. I failed to find a girlfriend and settle down to have kids. I thought I was straight but fantasized about guys off and on. I also watched gay porn on occassion along with straight porn. One day I realized I was watching mostly gay porn and wasnt really interested in straight porn no more. I came out of the closet right before my 28th birthday and accepted myself as bisexual/gay.
