When would be a good time (age) to come out about one's own sexual preferences?

When you are most comfortable with who you are. Some are out in their teens, some 20's and some even later. It's when you are ready to face the world as you are. And let's face it, most of the world is not ready to face sexuality, their own preference or someone else's.

Coming out is a gradual thing, not something you do all at once to everyone in the world. You have to decide for yourself just when and to whom you want to reveal your sexuality. From what I've read, and it's not a helluva lot, it seems that many dudes start coming out around 16 or so - but it's way different for each person. Give yourself time to make your own decisions about this important part of your life.

This isn't an age decision thing. It is a timing thing. If you are having a sexual relationship, then sometime during intimacy would be appropriate.
If you are coming out as gay then you have to be ready for the repercussions. And there are usually at least some, sometimes LOTS.

I came out when i was 14 and it was one of the best things in my life, it was great telling people and it open the way for new relationships, but at the same time there are those who dont understand so you have to take the good with the bad but only you will know when the best time to come out

You do it,if and when you feel comfortable with it but,there is no need to "come out".Your sexual preferences or the lack of them is of no concern to anyone but yourself.I don't publicize my personal preferences about anything in my private life.It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anyone else and any person with manners so bad,that they would question you about it,should be forcefully told to "mind your own god damned business"I hope this helps.

In this day and age no one should be in the closest.
I guess what i mean is that diverse sexuality is so acceptable, as soon as you are aware, and are comfortable with yourself then announce it to the world.
I was 24 when i came out as gay, but everyone who knew me knew i was anyway, and basically said tell us something we don't know!

If you cant accept yourself for who you are then you are living a lie. If you live that lie to spare someone else's feelings then your lying to them as well. If they love you they should accept you for who you are. Life isnt easy and this question isnt as well. To be honest it is not anyone business but you and the person your with. And it should stay that way. After all you dont want your grandma telling you about how granpa and her and how they did ... well you know. Good luck.

Wait till college at least. The less you talk the better. Not their business.

I feel that what a person does in bed is his/her buisness and I do not see a need to advertise.
