When did you start sexually liking girls/boys?

I had my first gf at age 6 but I didn't actually like her or girls in general though. At age 8 I started to really like this girl but I didn't have any sexual desires and at the most I wanted to kiss her. At age 12 or 13 I understood what sex was but still didn't have any sexual desires. I started to have sexual desires at age 15. So to clarify what this question asking, I am not asking when you went through puberty, had growth spurts, or started liking girls/boys etc. I am asking when did you start having sexual desires or how old were you when you wanted to have sex?

  • I was similar to you.
    I remember when I was 7 or 8, I knew when a boy was good looking. I didn't felt desire to kiss them or have a boyfriend, tho.

    When I was about 10 or 11, I felt in love for the first time. Of course I wasn't thinking about sex with him, but I was attracted to him and feeling butterflies in my stomach, so I wanted to kiss, holding hands and be her girlfriend.
    At that time I knew what sex was, but I didn't want to do it. I just knew I probably would to do it when I grew up because everyone does. I remember rubbing against the pillow and enjoy the sensation, but I used to feel guilty after doing it. I knew it was related to sex, but I didn't know what masturbation was, though.

    At 14/15 I began to view masturbation as a normal thing, and I wanted to have sex in future.
    When I was 16/17 I started thinking about experience that.

  • As far back as I remember I have had sexual desires. Before I even knew what sex was.

    I have never fancied boys, only men. I only started wanting sexual relations with a man when I was around 15. I desired sex but I didn't actually want to have sex until around then.

  • 12. Got my first girlfriend but it was a couple months before anything happened.

  • I've been attracted to girls for as long as I can remember. I remember in preschool when I was 3 or 4, I'd always try to hide out under this one table that had a long tablecloth, and I'd lay on my back and try to peek up the girls' dresses😈 A little foreshadowing to my future Level 3 Sex Offender status... kidding of course😆

    But actual SEXUAL attraction? I guess 4th grade was when my mission in life became trying to make out with girls, but the concept of sex was still a little hazy at that point. I knew OF it, but didn't have the whole story. I think 5th or 6th grade was when I knew I wanted to do more than just kissing. 6th grade I was trying to get OTPHJs😢 7th grade, I was ready to try to get laid, but it took me a couple more years to make it happen.

    • Hit the wrong emoticon. No sad faces over OTPHJs, hahaha😂

  • I think I was 12 or 13 when I started to have sexual desires.

  • I started liking guys around 13 and loved girls at the age of 17 and now I only date girls

  • Maybe around 11 or 12.

  • Around 10 but it wasn't in the "wow I'm horny I want sex" way... it was "wow I feel something. I'm not sure what it is but I want to make out". I think that "something" was horniness lol but back then I didn't know what that was. Does that count?

  • since i was born i guess

  • Around 13, but I wasn't REALLY interested in anyone I knew until I was 17 and met a specific person.

  • I've always liked girls.

  • I started masturbating when I was 7 years old and thought about girls in a sexual way about that age. I was molested by someone older, (female) when I was 9. The first time I had "sex" I was 10 and it was a neighbor girl. More of a dry hump but we were both naked in a cornfield. I had no idea what I was doing and I guess neither did she. I don't think I ejaculated until I was 10 or 11. I'm sexually active even at my age and with my medical issues. (diabetes and heart).
