Hi everyone I had an interesting chat with an openly gay guy recently. I was mentioning that Junior year gym class was when I realized that I was bent. So then I asked him when he knew what his orientation was. He replied "Honey I came out of the womb in high heels and singing show tunes" For those who would like to share; when did you realize that you were part of the rainbow? Thank you.

In first grade, we were doing the chicken dance, and I could not stop watching the kid in front of me (he was probably in kindergarten) bending over/down during that one part of the dance. It hit me like a bolt of lightning what that meant when that song was played during my brother's wedding when I was 18.

I also never realized how often I hung out with more girls than boys growing up. I had a good mix of friends from those two genders, just naturally accepted more girl invites than boy invites.

Funny enough, I now hang out with more straight guys than straight girls as an adult. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I love your stories ❤️ because a gay recruiter, told me at a gym 🏋️‍♀️ he was going to take me, which I thought he was joking!
Well after I finished working out, I used one of the shower 🚿 stalls to cleanup and within a minute, this same gay guy entered my shower stall and gave me a long hard thick lesson that he was going to take me,
After a few minutes of being pinned into the shower wall with my legs dangling in the air and leaving a large DNA mess inside me!!
It was over for me, and he took me home to finish me!! Now I'm inlove!!

i didn’t have a word for it at the age but i knew i felt butterflies for boys over girls all the way back in preschool.

Kindergarten for me.

Fifth grade is when I first started noticing I was interested in looking at guys. I suppressed those feelings until I was 17 and hoped it was a phase. I had a gf when I was 18 and realized that it just was never gonna click. I admitted it to myself at 18. Told first person, best friend at 19, fully came out at 21. So much wasted time. But I feel like it was different then. I was really afraid.

A friend told me that she caught her son watching porn. He was 9.

Some time in middle school I started watching adult videos and would start to focus on the guys (I was telling myself that I was just comparing size to myself). By the time I got to high school, I started to realize that I actually was attracted to guys but struggled because I also was attracted to girls. Didn’t fully come to terms with the fact that I was bi until I was like 17.

That sounds a lot like my experience in my case I was a bit older and I came out to my brother. Turned out he was Bi as well. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance.

It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
