Was there a moment you realized that you were gay?

I would say about 12/13, I had no idea what it meant, I was petrified, kept it quiet till July/August of this year. Was a scary time.

Kindergarten. Got three Japanese high school students into trouble because of me.

It was nothing sexual but it was still plain naughty and adventurous. I still remember the whole stuff clearly.

13ish. I just remember watching a few of my classmates on the playground and wondering why I thought other girl's boobs looked better than boy's muscles. Now that I think on it, it was funny. But at the time I was beyond confused and terrified

I'd begun suspecting at maybe 14. I was awkward then and I only had like maybe one friend. He would constantly tell me things I didn't know about like violent movies I didn't get to watch and so on. Well one day he comes over and shows me porn. He showed me some normal hetero hardcore stuff and he was asking me if it did anything for me which it didn't. He left later and I was left wondering if I was some kinda freak.

I put it on the back burner for a while until Sophomore year in high school when all my buddies starting getting laid and I still hadn't had sex. Now I was beginning to think something was wrong with me until I went to a party in a college town near my home. I went in off my ass on cheap tequila and ended up making out with some Bi dude and That sealed the deal. I had kissed girls before but this felt right felt natural. After that it was pretty much a done deal.

Yep. When I was eleven and saw a sixteen-year-old in the showers at school.

Lust at first sight! :biggrin:

No specific moment for me... it was gradual in my early teens.

I'm not sure, I'm sure when I was really little there were a lot of signs. but, I also tried asking girls out in elementary school, confessing my love for them passionately which of course scared them off like any other normal 4th or 5th grade girl hahah.

then when I starting learning what sex was and what attraction really means is when I knew(in the back of my head), and continued to deny it until about 2 years ago.

I mainly knew I was gay because when my brother would walk around with only underwear on, I would notice the bulge first. That was my main clue. Then, I never crushed on any girl or asked any of them out in elementary and middle school. I would always hang out with my guy friends and was rather quiet. Then in high school, I came to my senses and dated a guy. Worked perfectly. Since then, I know for sure.
