When did you first realize you had an attraction for the same sex??

I was a teenagaer in high school when I saw her. She stood 5'11", brown-skinned, almond shaped eyes, dark brown shouder length hair, thick thighs, nicely rounded breasts; I was in love. So, to answer this question, I was 14 years old, a freshman in high school trying out for the basketball team, when I realized I had a strong attraction for a woman!

Um..well theres always been an attraction to females. Like a lot of others there was a sort of embarassment of what others would think. Its been about 8yrs...an theres been no looking back! I'm very content with my life. My famlies on board an thats all I need. Trials an tribulations gone come my way,but dats living. She had the prettiest smile and gorgeous skin...I approached her forgetting she was a female. I knew then my transformation had begun,an I welcomed it with open arms. I'll never forget my 24th yr!!!

I was like 13 or 13 when i became clear to me that i found woman attractive. I was 19 when i had my first romantic moment with her...I wont mention her name, but wow she had me open... I love woman...but it is so hard now to find a true lesbian....

I can recall having my first crush on a girl in the 3rd grade. I had no idea then that it was a crush at the time. I do not think I knew that such a thing was possible at that age, but looking back it was definitely a crush. She was a serious tomboy and very athletic. I was not an athletic type, myself, but a very A-typical girly-girl, but I remember doing everything I could just to be on the field with her playing kickball or soccer(which I hated), or I would sit on the sidelines and watch her the entire time. I was in high school when I realized that I had an ongoing thing for tomboys. I came out shortly after, at about 17, and my family literally laughed me back into the closet on account of my being girly and not exhibiting the characteristic tendencies of a tomboy equals a gay girl; the "just-one-side-of-the-story," gender signals that straight people usually pick up on.
