Gay experience quora

So, to better place my own sexual development in context, I'd like to know how common it is for young boys to experiment with each other. So the seeming commonality among the gay-friendly buddies is probably more of a fact that they are more open about these sorts of things.

Since I had fooled around with friends throughout my early adolescence and since I had never been the one to initiate things, I guess I just assumed everyone else had found themselves in similar circumstances when they were young.

In fact, I had absolutely no concept of hetero- vs. It was with a friend also male and around the same age and went on for two or three years. I have no data to back this up though.

First Time Gay Stories : If somebody would tell me I was gay before that day, I would have given them a middle finger

June 2, PM Subscribe Is it common for men to 'experiment' as boys? Probably as a result of my own experiences, I have long assumed that it was common for boys to experiment sexually with each other. I male had my first gay experience when I was around 12 years old.

I guess this conversation rarely, if at all, comes up in my group of friends, but I would have to say that this is not normal 'kids being kids' type of interaction. Did you ever experiment? To find out what the experience means to.

I think it is fairly common. A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. I imagine that if you have these interactions as a child, you are naturally attracted to this type of relationship.

Often, your local gay bar or club is the only public place you can party or cruise as a queer person without the fear of being judged or threatened for simply being yourself.

I think it's very uncommon. Now, as an adult, I primarily identify as gay, and I feel strongly that having those experiences during my formative years helped shape my sexual identity. Just my thoughts. But at the same time, the idea of striding into a gay venue for the first time can be intimidating for young LGBT+ people – especially anyone new to exploring their sexuality.

Particularly those who grow up to identify as straight. It was relatively innocent, involving nothing more than mutual masturbation. In both cases, it was my friend that made the first 'move'. I would have guessed that something like that, particularly once you made it to puberty, would be very uncommon, but that might just be because it's natural to assume that everybody else had roughly your same experiences.

I suspect (based on absolutely zero evidence or experience, being a straight female) that a boy would almost have to be wired to be gay or bi to initiate such an encounter, but that a straight boy may well be drawn on by curiosity and horniness to go along with the experiment.

Still, as an adult, whenever I've brought this up with my straight and generally gay-friendly buddies, they without exception deny ever having had similar experiences. I never did anything even remotely like that. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space.

I would be surprised to hear anybody say that they did this as a child without having some curiosity or impulse towards the same sex. An older straight male friend of mine once told me how he fooled about with the guy next door when he was He's been married for about 25 years, and has 3 children.
