We've heard all the talk on what age we can really decide what sexuality we are. How about what age we should start to pratice what we are?

I have been homosexually active since I was 13. I have a friend who claims to have had his first experience at 6, and yet another who is my age, and has yet to have one. But how young is too young? Did my friend do the right thing at 6? (the experience was of course, with a fellow six year old, not an adult).

My boyfriend is only 13. This is an area of concern to me, as I am 17, and subsequently all my friends, think he is 15 and his friends think I am 15. Should we live that lie like that? Should we never have gone out?

Is age just really a number? If so, why arent we all queing up to date those sweet sixty year olds?

Age is nothing but a number. How ever, a prison sentance isnt.

I dont think age is an issue for experience or finding out your gay i mean who actually says your straight at birth?
is there a law saying untill your 13 your straight and then youl have a phase and you have to choose either way?
no one,nothing makes you gay nothing makes yous stright,trans bi,ect

relationship wise i think aslong as your both carefull and agree on what you want to do then there shouldnt be any harm or problems

I agree that age is just a number and that when it comes to stong feelings, those can't be denied. But, if casses where one party is over the age of 18 and the other is under, sex shouldn't even enter their thoughts. It's just a taboo not to be messed with. But as far as a sutiable age gap, my limit's always been 5 years, but as your age increases, the age barrier starts to loosen. So a 20 year old wit a 31 year old in my mind is okay, b/c their adults. But if its a situation where on is 13 and the other 18, idk....even tho it's 5 years, it's still iffy in the eyes of society.

You just know when you know. Some people know their whole lives, and some don't figure it out until they're middle aged. I realized it when I was eleven, and I hate that there's this assumption going around that people can't possibly know that they're gay until they're 25, and only after being in multiple straight relationships. (That's my parents' thinking, anyway.) But I could've saved myself a lot of pain and heartache if someone had told me that it was okay for an 11-year-old girl to be attracted to other girls.

i don't see anything wrong with someone 13/14 dating an 17/18yo, i do find myself looking at many boys that age and thinking they are gorgeous

i don't know if i would date someone 13/14, but unless you are in a situation to do so you never know.

but if both people are happy then why not

Yea, this is the most important. If you feel happy with 13yo being 17yo, so what's wrong ? It's only 4 years, is this a big difference ?

But backing to the main topic... It's actually beyond me - what do other people (psychologists, scientists, etc.) know about my sexuality ? OK, they studied psychology, they carried on some researches, but all their theories are just generalizations. I realized that I'm gay when I was about 13, my best friend had his first homosexual experience as 6yo (with another kid) - so ? What do psychologists think about it ? Everyone is different - you can be 13yo and be more mature than your 15/16yo friends. This is all nature and humanity not theory and rules. When I was 14/15, some of my my classmates didn't know anything about sex (still stupid, childish bullshit only), while others knew something more and I could even talk with them seriously about it. So statements like "(S)He's only **teen and (s)he's too young to be sure about his sexuality" are stupid, because she/he always knows better than you.
