I knew from age 8 that I was attracted to boys in a special way that I wasn't to girls. I understood that being with my male friends excited me and I began to realize it had another component (physical reactions are easy to associate) and that I really liked to be with them. At 11 I fully realized it was sexual and romantic -- cause I started having sexual fantasies and those went instantly to my cutest male friends; and that I had no comparative interest at all in girls, period. In fact I realized that girls turned me off sexually. Without offense, the thought of a girl brought a raging hard on straight down to limp. At a late 13 I told my parents and closest friends (that could have been a very early 14 -- it was quite a few years ago now) and around the same time (shortly thereafter) had my first boyfriend. I think the telling was late 13 and the boyfriend early 14.
Other people I know had the same experience, but fought it because they thought they could force themselves to be straight like "everyone else." It didn't work, they are all gay now, in actions and in some cases, openly.
Hope that helps.
Kind thoughts,
Reyn

I always was but didn't "get it" until I was 20 and a friend was teasing me (not meanly, she was bi) about having a crush on a girl (Brooke) and I kept denying it and after a while of the banter I realised it was true and like a sledgehammer to the head I "got" that I prefered women. It was dead obvious in retrospect, evident through my whole life. DUH!!!...me hitting my forehead. I had a fantastic boyfriend at the time too! First guy I'd really liked. Funny thing is everyone thought he was gay!

Yes, from a very early age I knew I was gay.
Perhaps I didn't realize what it meant at the time, but I knew that I preferred men over women.
Thankfully I never bent under the pressure of social pressures that tell us that we should find a girl, get married and have kids.
I feel sorry for those gay men out there who have deluded themselves into thinking that they could ignore their natural tendencies.

I think some people knew before me when I was around 6-7 years old. At 14 I definitely knew I was gay but ignored that part of myself but people reminded me that I was gay often..

I always feel like something was different in me. It doesn't matter too much until I was 13, because was in that age when I really noticed my sexual interests wasn't the same as my friends'. But i didn't accept that till I was 27. Anyway it doesn't make me better or worse than straight people, just different.

Pretty much. I knew I was gravitating to guys since puberty, while most of my friends were gravitating to girls. I definitely saw the difference, but didn't connect the dots and realize that I was "gay" until I was 18.

I was always attracted to guys, but I didn't know what it meant until college, and didn't really acknowledge it in myself until a psychiatrist told me that I wasn't admitting to myself that I was gay. It was kind of traumatic revelation, but I wish I had had that epiphany when I was a kid and hadn't wasted so much of my life feeling one way but living another.

When I was younger I could remember playing house with other little girls ... and I would end up masturbating with them together ... it was so innocent - but yet it never occurred to me later in my life I would want to be with other women sexually ... I've always loved men and wanted to be with a man ... I never wanted to date a woman or start a relationship with them ... but I know deep down I can't live without their touch either ... so I guess I'm stuck in that whole " Bisexual " territory ... lol ... !!

Don't know yet I'm only 13, but I'm trying out being bisexual and it's o.k. I'm glad the way i am even if to get this happiness i got the rejection of my family.

When I was younger I was always attracted to other girls...but I didn't understand.
When I was old enough to understand I fought it.
I didn't want to be an outcast, so I went along with the social "norms".
BIG MISTAKE
