At What Age?

[Tonko]

I knew I liked boys instead of girls ever since I can remember, even though I had no concept of what "gay" was untill I was about 12. Grew up self-reclusive, electing for the company of my books to that of people my own age more often than not. I remember trying to get friends I had sleepovers with to play strip poker, and truth or dare was always a favorite game of mine. And no, I was never raped, or molested, and nothing traumatic ever happened in my childhood. One sister, mom and dad not abusive, still together, great healthy caring relationship.

My point is, I don't know if I was simply abnormal in regards to my sexual desires at young ages, but I really don't think I was. Kids play Dr & other exploratory games, but then stop, because of lack of functional knowledge of the steps that come after getting naked in bed (or elsewhere) together. As soon as I knew what to do next I was doing it every chance I got, and I was much younger than you would think.

It's entirely possible that the kid is gay @ that age, and that he has a great deal of hardship ahead of him. But, stressing over it now won't help anything. Let him grow up, and just let him know yer there if he needs anything. That's really the only thing you can do.

how do you find out you're gay again? do you just wake up one day and find your gf/sis's Brandon Routh/brad pit wall posters attractive?

But how did you.. find out "what to do next"?

[Tonko]

The internet is a wonderful resource, even back, in 1989.

And you don't, "find out you're gay" all of a sudden. You either know it innately, and accept it, or you deny it and try to lead the straight life. But you know. I have friends who had wives, and kids, and finally owned up to themselves about the truth. If today's society was a bit more accepting, they wouldn't have to go through the lies and hurt.

My very openly gay uncle says he knew he was "different" ie. gay when he was six, which isnt abnormal at all because I started kissing girls by then. You can still have feelings of a sexual nature, not necessarilly procreative, at a young age without understanding them.

I never really knew until 5th grade when my first real crush was a guy. You can't help who you fall for.

[Kuya]

You think that's bad? Try having your first few crushes be girls, then on the 7th grade, suddenly have a crush for your best friend, who's a boy. Talk about confusing.

My brother married my best friend (woman), divorced her, and is now accusing me of sleeping with her. Note she's like 5-6 years older than me. Awkward!

[Intense]

Nelson: "You're gay!"
Martin: "I'm not gay, I'm nothing yet!"

This is what this thread reminds me of..

Did he punch you in the face?

Btw, is it me or are there a lot of homosexuals @ BG?

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Grab any number of gays that are out, and multiply it by 3 or 5, and that's how many there are, not to mention the bisexuals.

And no, i tried my very best to repress those feelings because i simply did not understand how i could like girls AND guys at the same time. I thought it was just a mistake, or a fluke or something at first, so i brushed it off. He's the only guy i ever had a crush on to, which makes thinking about him very nostalgic.

Wait, wait, wait....










Kuya's gay? Edit: Or bi?

[skurlover]

Define.. normal.

Some of my extended family is rather hickish too, but I don't cut myself and cry over it...

There is no SOLUTION. The kid is 8, he is normal and nothing is wrong with him. 8 year old boys have no sexuality at all.

You're the last person on the face of the planet that should be meddling with someones psychology.

As a person in "fly-over" country, I resent that statement. Ever wonder if we are the normal ones, and the ones belittling "hickish" people are the problem?

No.

K, just making sure.

[Charla]

Would the term redneck be more or less offensive than hick?

[Nirokun!]

less

<3 Seinfeld. Also, lol @ Devek saying no sexuality at that age and then all these gay posters come out of the woodwork with their 6 yr old gay stories and such.

Why be gay or straight, when you can have it all!?

I was 12.

[Charla]

Funny answer: because you can also have a severe beating if you ever happen to get stuck in Bumfuck, Midwest. May not be so much of a problem if you never plan on leaving Puerto Rico.

Real answer: most of us don't get a chance to choose. But you probably realized that before we did.
