Bisexual. I think I've known all along, I can't pinpoint an exact time where I figured it out. I've liked boys and girls ever since I was around five years old. I've just become more comfortable with it now.

I don't know if I can really pinpoint a particular time. It was more like a slow coming to terms/realisation since I so desperately wanted to be straight.

Indulge my pathetic laziness and tell me about the Kinsey scale!


Wiki says it so much better than I:

The Kinsey scale, also called the Heterosexual–Homosexual Rating Scale,attempts to describe a person's sexual experience or response at a given time. It uses a scale from 0, meaning exclusively heterosexual, to 6, meaning exclusively homosexual.

Thanks Nymphs. Seemed a bit simplistic but then I read others have developed other scales to create a perhaps more encompassing tool.

It is a bit simplistic, but it was developed in the 50's, so whaddya expect?

Well, I am bisexual and I realized this at around the age of 17.

That said, I have never been with a woman and I never intend to be with one. I am living a chaste life and intend to do so for the rest of my life.

Not sure "when", really. Looking back, I guess there were always signs. I "accepted" my sexuality in my 20's then faltered and finally, after a long struggle, came to full acceptance in my 30's. Lots of issues, from childhood trauma to religious indoctrination to other emotional issues that needed solved; these things complicated my road to self-discovery/acceptance.

Bisexual :)
I figured it out when I was in 7th grade. I hadn't really liked anyone of either gender until then, but then I got a crush on both a guy and girl within two months... I ended up liking the girl for a much longer time, but we never ended up together (she was straight...). Anyway, that's my story.

I don't remember when I "realized" I was bi. I fooled around with the same gender well before I ever fooled around with the opposite.
But I guess I accepted that I was Bi when I was 24-ish. I am still in the closet with 90% of people and 100% with my family. It's just not possible to be comfortably open with my job, and I don't know about really coming out to family *shrug*.

I realized I was Scottish when I was 16 roughly. Was a very hard to get friends because of my kilt. Every time I tried befriending a laddie it made things awkward because of my drunken charm. I asked my parents why I was born this way and they told me God loves all of his children and made me special.

I figured out I was straight the first time I saw a vagina and didn't barf. It looked like Willie Nelson lost all his teeth in a bar fight, and yet I was still transfixed.

I realized I was gay when I fell in love with my classmate. I was ten.
Then I fell in love with 8 other guys before I turned 18
