I know it would have been gradual, but how did you start to find out?

I knew when I was as young as four that I was exclusively interested in the boys. I was a good kid when I was little, and I always heard people saying that gay people are sick and evil, so I didn't associate myself with the word "gay" until I was in my teens and realized that those people were just stupid and ignorant about something they knew nothing about. Having sex doesn't make you gay or straight - you are gay or straight whether you ever have sex at all. people thinkt that being gay simply means that you have sex with the same gender. But being gay means that you are only able to be attracted to, fall in love with, marry and make love to, some one of the the same gender with no interest or desire in the opposite gender. At 38 years old, I still have never once felt the slightest interest in females beyond friendship, and I still have yet to grasp an understanding of what heterosexual men are attracted to in women. I can identify a physically beautiful woman, but only in the same way that you would identify a pretty piece of art. I believe that women are a precious and special part of the creation of humanity, but I will never be interested in kissing a woman, romantic touching with a woman, or inserting my genitals into that of a female's. In short, I could never love a woman the way I can love a man or the way a straight man loves women. The concept is utterly foreign to my brain and it doesn't "compute", I guess is the best way to put it.

I used to be hetero and was against homosexuality because my parents were against because they are christians. When I was hetero no girl ever loved me they all found I was ugly. I was tired of being turned down and wanted to try something new. I had my first sexual experience with a guy in 2001. I found that I got more relationships with guys than girls from then to now. I also later dropped christianity 2 years later when I realized the two could not coexist together.

I realized I was attracted to the same sex when I was about the age of 8 or 9. I remember waking up in the morning, and remembering a dream I had just had before I woke up. It involved a naked man, and I was excited about it. I wanted to touch him. I wanted to be held by him. It gave me butterflies. I didn't know or realize that meant "I was gay" until I was about 12.

I was in the 6th grade so I say like 11 or 12. And I started to noticing girls, like boys notice girls. Like I started to notice their boobs and their *** and how cute they are. Like and I'm a tomboy and being with a girl just seemed natural. Like when I kissed my gf for the first time, it just seemed cool and so natural. Like I was supposed to be with this girl a long time ago. But I finally came out like in mid-November of 2006. It was a surprise to few, but a "we knew it all along and what took you so long" to most. And I told my mom and she thinks its a phase since I'm 17. But I believe I know I'm bi and I know Iove my gf and no one can change how I feel bout her.

I didn't come to the realization of being gay until around 18. I've always thought some guys were cute as far back as 5th grade but I didn't label myself back then.
I came out when I was 18ish...it was cool. I mean at first my mom didn't understand it but she quickly came around.

I figured it out in grade 7. Simply put, I was interested in guys a lot more then I was girls, and I knew that made me different.

it's rather personal, but I suppose it's natural....I really began to realize I was into to other men when I started masturbating.... and especially once I discovered pornography from my older cousin. the straight magazines had some naked men in them too, and i intantly gravitated towards them.....
