When did you realise you were attracted to guys ?

Just think that one day my family and friends know i am homosexual. How will they think about me? How bad it is? I'm so worried! I cannot hide this secret forever.

You are right - you cannot hide this secret forever. The more you try the more your mind and body will rebel. Becoming ill is not much fun.

May you find the support you need to be the man you are.

Best wishes.

I don't remember the exact age but I remember the exact moment...first time I saw Tom Jones singing...OMG...I wanted to rip his clothes off (they were soooooooooooo tight) LOL. I think I might have been around 11 years old.

What will they think? I can't answer that question because I don't know them. However your profile says you are in Anaheim, CA. to start with there are far less liberal places in the U.S., let alone the rest of the world. I dare say chances are at least a few of your family and friends already know someone who is gay, have they ever mentioned them? What do they think of them? Even if they don't know anyone who is openly gay, I am sure they are exposed to gay people via the TV, internet, etc. Have they ever mentioned what they think of them?

You may well be surprised how tolerant and open minded your family and friends are. But just for the sake of argument, suppose they are pretty hostile to homosexuality. At the end of the day blood is still thicker than water, and as for friends, those who don't accept you for who you are aren't really your friends and you have plenty of chance to meet new ones who do accept you.

You can't keep it a secret forever. However you may well keep it a secret for a while. Think about the sort of situation you want to be in when you do come out. As I understand it you are now 17 and living with your family, have you thought about when you might move out? It may well be easier to come out to your family when you are not living under the same roof.

Just my thoughts, I hope they are helpful.

I was in like 5th grade and would peek through the bathroom stall where my guy classmates would change for gym.

I realised I was different from a very early age , probably about five , I would prefer playing with girls rather than boys . I didn't understand why though until much later , about 13 , when i really fancied a boy at school who was more developed than the rest of us , he was very good looking had more muscles and had a great body . I was teased and bullied at school and told I was gay ( even though i didnt know myself) , I suppose something inside fought with myself all those years to proove them all wrong ,only the gay feelings of who you really are never go away no matter how much you try and delude yourself . I came out a month ago at the age of 40

I haven't posted in this thread?!:eek:

Well here goes;
I realised sometime during secondary school, but didn't think much of it or care really.
Once i left secondary school THATS when the whole thing kicked in! And i can happly admit I LOVE MEN. Before i left seconday school i really had no Mental atraction to guys, just physical. And even then, i wasn't atracted to the boys in my school because i only saw then as children.

That about it!:redface:

I was about 13-15 years old when I realized. I didn't come to terms with it many years later though. I remember I had a crush on two guys in junior high school. They were total hotties. Sadly, one of them grew up to be ugly and he did drugs over the years. The other one might still look good since he was athletic and a bit clean cut. They both had brown hair. I do have a thing for brown haired guys.

Sometime between 5-8. I choose 0-5. I remember I used to enjoy looking at those brief boxes with the underwear models on them. LOL Back then I didn't know why though.

Kindergarten.

I was so fascinated and in awe with my big brother's male friends particularly this one guy. He was so good looking.

But of course that can't beat this crazy thing that I did for multiple of times when I was still in kindergarten. My kindergarten was connected to a primary school and high school. I was fascinated by these three to four Japanese high guys that I ... err ... let just say I'm sorry for getting those four into school detention. It was nothing sexual but uh, still crazy.
