Is it possible for a 15 to be homosexual or bi-? Isn't that experimentation time?

Answer 1

You're right, finding out about your sexuality doesn't have to be really quick, you can take time to find out about yourself.

Answer 2

I believe it is impossible to "be gay" if you have not had relations with the same sex. People that claim they were gay from a young age tend to have been witting or unwitting victims of sexual molestation. If a child does not understand "the birds and the bees", how can he make an informed decision as to his sexuality?

I believe there is a time of experimentation usually during or immediately after puberty.

I am gay, but I do not believe I was born gay. I was attracted to "muscle men" when I was about 14, during my puberty. However, without actually engaging in same sex relations, how could a person know for an absolute fact?

Another thing is people tend to use rose-colored glasses when looking at their past. This is a way the mind justifies the decisions made as an adult. Many men that were molested come to believe that they were gay from a young age, that they "brought it on themselves."

How being gay works, in my understanding, is that the individual receives pleasure from certain sexual acts and that the more the individual pursues those acts the more "gay", "bi", "straight" they become.

Freud believed that man (and woman) were pansexual. They would have sex with just about anything. This is the rationale behind intergenerational sex (pedophilia), bestiality, "kinky" stuff, etc.

There should be no shame in being gay or lesbian. A person makes decisions in their life --and no one or nothing is to blame for it. The individual should be his own person and make choices that are in his/her own best interest.

Answer 3

Yes and Yes, it is possible for a 15 year old to know that they are gay and that is the perfect age for experimentation, the experimentation will decide if that is something they like or something that is not for them...but in my opinion until they have done some type of exploration (circle jerk, gay sex, etc) they wont know that they are gay...just having thoughts alone isn't a good sign some guys that age think of homosexuality as showing/being dominate to another man

Answer 4

Well assuming that most gay people are born that way, and that's the best science we have today, it certainly is very possible. However, MOST boys that age aren't certain of their orientation. They probably grew up in a straight family, and while they may have been getting some gay signals, you're right...at 15 he's just starting to get enough experience in life to figure orientation out. I say "boy" and "he" as if you were talking about males, but I think the same is true of females.

Answer 5

Darling, of course it's possible! I myself am fifteen years old and (as my friends describe me) an absolute FLAMBOYANT queer boy (sometimes I don't know whether they mean that in a good or bad way, lol). I've pretty much known I was gay since sixth grade when I was 12, but I know that even before that I was slightly ... different from the rest of the guys I knew (I played with barbies and sometimes dressed up in dresses even tho I have NO desire whatsoever to be a girl). That was probably my experimental stage ... but at the same time, I feel that our whole life time is full of experimenting and such. No, I have never had sex with a guy (or girl for that matter, I believe firmly in abstinence), and I've only kissed a guy once on the cheek, but I've had guys kiss ME on the lips, and I've touched and been touched by other gay guy friends, and I there's just something that I feel then thats completely different from when I have physical contact with my girl friends. Not to crass and perverted, but I've held one of my friend Brittany's boobs (while asking what in the world could by bi guy friend Cam possible see in boobs) and been able to safely and confidently say I felt nothing, if not a little disgust in the fact that I just touched Brittany's boob, who I consider like a sister to me. The only real experiment with my sexuality I KNOW I've done is the time I went out with my best friend Kayla; this was AFTER I had determined that I was queer, but I was still in denial, and I wanted to see if I could turn myself str8 again ... it didn't work. I never touched her in anyway sexually, I really had no desire to, again, I considered her a sister, not a girlfriend. We never really acted like bf and gf, we rarely held hands, and I never kissed her anywhere but the cheek twice at our 8th grade dance, still trying to get something out of me that wasn't there. The truth is, I can look at naked girls and only see them as sluts or whores who aren't smart enough to get a real job so they resort to porn, but even when I see a fully clothed good-looking guy, if he's sexy enough, I can get immediatley aroused. I've become very secure and confident about my sexuality over the years, and I really can't explain to you how I know I'm gay, I just do. I know I know, you just wanted an answer, not my whole life story, but I hope I answered your question. Loves,

Answer 6

of course it's possible. it all depends on the person. If you are unsure, then it could be experimentation, but some teens already know for sure that they are bi/gay.

Answer 7

For some,yes it's experimentation time but for others, no. They know what they are and now they, hopefully, find some support.

Answer 8

id fifteen is more experimental as u say and most that end up turnng bi during their experemental time end up turning gay but i am comfotorble with being bi

Answer 9

Yep, it's possible. I knew my orientation when I was 12. There really isn't a correct time to know or develope sexual desires. Everyone matures sexually at their own pace.

Answer 10

There really is a difference....I knew I was NOT like the rest of the guys at 14-15....just knew it. Came to terms, all was fine eventually. good luck

Answer 11

There is sometimes experiment time, but there are also times when people are sure since the age of 5. If you know, you know. If you're still deciding, you're still deciding. Either way, you're not strange or wrong.
