What was your sexual awakening, and when did it happen?

[dixincide]

TL;DR:

1. Who or what was the first thing that made you realize you might be interested in the opposite (or same) sex?
2. How old were you when this happened?
3. Do you think you were ahead or behind your peers when this happened?

Curious to know when each of you learned that you were interested in the opposite (or same) sex, and who (or what) it was that did it for you?
Not talking sexual experiences, or anything like that, but when did you start to think "Hey maybe ______ don't have cooties after all"

1. Seeing girls naked at summer camp
2. like 10

[Gamdwelf]

4 or 5 found lingerie section of a catalogue.

[RickJamesLich]

1. Finding one of my dad's playboys lol
2. 5 or 6
3. I think I was in the norm.... possibly ahead but just by a little bit

[bertho]

Ugh.

1. Bumping into the bum of a classmate in a changing room before swimming... in primary school.
2. 10 or 11
3. a slight bit ahead maybe. Though I didn't chase it in the slightest, so in that respect, I was behind for years.

Masturbating at the age of 12 to a softcore porn

[Reeve]

I think I was 4 or 5 and there was a girl I had a crush on that also had a crush on me. We kissed in the playground of the McDonald's.

[Forgettable]

1. I remember this hot girl walking on the street while my mom was driving me in a car somewhere.
2. I was 6 or 7.
3. I like to think I'm ahead of the curve. But who knows.

[Deleted]

I found old playboy magazines when I was like 5 or 6. Immediatelly fell in love with big breasted women.

[derpkitteh]

i think dragon ball z was where i saw my first attractive guy. i think it was trunks.

i think raven from teen titans was the first time i ever realized i was attracted to a female, but looking back my first ever real crush was actually on this girl that was about three years older than me, and we were great friends and rivals. if she had a cool looking pokemon card, i wanted a cooler looking one. if she got the high score on tony hawk's pro skater, i would sit for hours until i finally beat her score. i've got a scar on my shoulder that's still visible from when i tried to do a trick on our bikes that she did. i really loved her and loved beating her. but i didn't realize that i was actually kinda into her, because i was only like 7 or 8.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Probably 10 or higher. I didn't get romantically interested in girls until late high school.

[Deleted]

1. Cameron Diaz in The Mask.
2. 5 or 6
3. I think I was probably ahead of most people

[Ichifails]

When I heard a coyote howl for the first time and I realized it was a mating call so I ran outside. I had to run back in because I identify as deerkin :/.

In all seriousness, around kindergarten.

Considering a friend from high school and a girl (confirmed by both) used to touch each other down there at nap time, I didn't find it weird but apparently for some people it was at 10 Oo.

[Prifter]

Like at 6 when I was in the pool with my babysitter and I was rubbing my dick on her cause it felt great. Yeah

[dixincide]

Watching the girl from a tv show called "The Big Comfy Couch" tell the time with her yoga poses (Childrens TV was the best where I lived)
I must have been 8 years old when I realized I was an assman.
My friends and I all joked about that stuff and thought it was "ickky" but looking back I think I was part of the norm.

[B]TL;DR:

1. Who or what was the first thing that made you realize you might be interested in the opposite (or same) sex?
2. How old were you when this happened?
3. Do you think you were ahead or behind your peers when this happened?

1. Falling in love with my best friend. Nothing came out of it, I freaked out and stopped speaking to him.
2. 14
3. Behind, but mostly because I had no idea what the hell was going on with me. I always thought I'd love women, when I was young I got a few "love" relationships (IE: hugging and holding hands, which was the farthest it went). So when I discovered I loved men, I was under shock and just tried to push it as far as I could.

[Drekker17]

1. There was this girl in my 5th grade class that I wanted the attention of, in 6th grade I realized I wanted to kiss her, nothing sexual.
2. 11 or 12
3. Late.

[Kalis]

1. Miss White, my infant school teacher. A fair skinned, raven haired Canadian who couldn't pronounce my first name correctly. My first 'encounter' was in my first Christmas school play, I was Joseph and the girl playing Mary French-kissed me, it wasn't in the script - I was only 5, so she was clearly a paedo.

2. 5.

3. No idea. It wasn't uncommon for people to have boyfriends and girlfriends at that age, but I can't recall there being any sexual element to those relationships, so they may not count.

I remember my first crush being in second grade, so 8 i guess?

i think i declare bullshit at all these people in this thread saying 5-6. i barely remember anything from when i was that young let alone something like this.

Call it BS all you want, it's true. My dad said it was 4 years old for him. Then again, he said he was making sexual advances on his sister who was a year younger than him at the time... I like to think I'm not as messed up as my father was.
