Hey, everyone! My name is Bryan, I'm 19 and asexual (My word, I'm doing a lot of introductions lately.) I realized I was when I was about 17, but I sort of always knew. Sex just doesn't interest me, though I have had intercourse. It's just kind of cold and boring to me, and more gross when I think about it.
I didn't really understand to what extent until after I had done it. I was indifferent to it. I didn't find myself wanting to do it again. Not with anyone. When I was younger, I thought I might have been gay because I had only been with women. Didn't take long to figure that one out, either. I don't mean to stereotype, but I find men to be either too macho or too feminine where as I've had no problem finding women that were the perfect blend. So, while I was interested in women, I most certainly wasn't going with guys.
So what about you? Any stories?

i always knew i found girls attractive. and i was very suprised when i learned that most peoplke only like one gender, i always thought everyone was bi/pan
after 6th grade i went into a bit of deniel for a few years because a teacher told me i was going to go to hell if i was ever with a woman. it wasnt until after my first year in college i started to accept myself. though in highschool i did have a girlfriend but i didnt make it public and i didnt treat her as well as i should have because of my insecurities

I had never really had an interest in girls. I would say that I liked a certain girl at school just to fit in, but I never really liked them. I realized that I was gay in 7th grade, when I wouldn't even pay attention to girls at all, whether it was to conform or not.

I'm really glad to know I'm not the only late bloomer. The majority of you are as well and it makes me feel less like a weirdo. whee

I'm in the same boat as Neko-mata. But a little different. I've always had my suspicions that I was bi, but not until recently was i fully aware that I'm basically bi, and the same with the no one who I've gone to school with I find attractive or there just to freaking stupid.
Also Bryan I know what you mean. Haha, I think i'm really really weird with my sexuality. It's a mixture of bi-sexuality and as you say A-sexuality. It's complicated for me to explain but if you get what I mean, YAY! ^-^ Haha.

8th grade science class, mid February. I had started becoming increasingly fascinated with my lab partner, and I couldn't put my finger on it until she went to ask our teach and a question, and as she waled away she turned to me and smiled the most beautiful smile I had ever seen and I knew what it was: I was in love.

It never even occurred to me that I could be bi or gay until I was in my mid-teens. It's not like I had never heard of gay people, I just never really considered that the term could apply to me. But then I fell really hard for this guy, and I realized that I wasn't straight. As I thought about it more and more, I realized I'd had crushes on guys when I was younger, too, I'd just never thought of them as such.

I never realized I was bisexual until maybe when I was 14, maybe 15. I would think that some girls were attractive and then I would say them out loud and get in trouble with my mom for saying things like that. I guess the moment my friends gave me that strange look...I just knew I was bisexual. The sad part is one of my best friends knew it before I did. She told me, "I knew you were bisexual from the day you said, 'That girl is so hot." xd

Well I was in denial for a while. in 5th grade I was dating this kid dylan, but there was this girl named evelyn and I had such a huge crush on her but I didn't really understand what my feelings were so ignored them.
In 7th grade I fell in love with my best friend (girl) but again I thought I only had eyes for her until 8th grade when I had my first girl crush other than her. That was when I realized I was bi. I was about 14
In the summer of 8th grade I had gone through 3 boyfriends and on the third one, Andrew, I liked this girl gina while I was dating him. he ended up breaking up with me because he was gay, and after we dated I realized I as too 3nodding and since then I've never looked at a guy.
now im 19 and very much a lesbian.

When I hit that age were you start thinking about sex all the time and... finding ways to "entertain" ones self... I tried picturing a man and a woman together, because... Thats all I knew. Growing up everything I experienced told me that Men should want to be with women and that was that.
at some point i fond myself being more turned on by thinking about men naked then women. At first I thought something was wrong with me. I didnt know about being gay or that there were other gay people out there, i just felt alone and confused. I dared not talk to anyone about it, I was already picked on enough for being the Nerdy kid in my class, last thing I needed was to be the gay kid too...
I wished it away for a while, but over the years it never went away and as i began to see more news reports about people fighting for gay equality and realizing that I wasnt alone, I slowly began to start accepting myself. I still wasnt ready to come out of the closet yet, but at least I didnt hate myself for being broken anymore.
Now I'm out and proud and never want to look back. though i still cant seem to meet any gay people other then through the internet, and none of them live anywhere close to me, so it still feels like im alone in a straight world sometimes.
sigh, i just need to graduate and get the heck out of this red neck town already...

When I was younger,maybe a 5th or 6th grader, I thought there were only two sexual orientations: straight and gay. This baffled me because I had always spotted beautiful women quite easily, yet I pictured my future with a man and was able to find more attractive men more easily as I aged. So I wasn't sure. If I could notice attractive women I thought that automatically made me gay. But I had daydreamed about the perfect male companion many times... so, I was stumped. Then, in about 7th grade, my mom bought me a book about pubrity and sex. The book introduced me to a new sexuality: bisexuality. So I thought, "maybe that's what I am." At first, there was one part of me that believed it, and another part that didn't wasn't so sure. Now I'm certain that I'm bisexual, but nobody really knows. Not my parents, friends, or anybody. But I think some of my friends may suspect something after I answered a question on Formspring saying I might possibly date a girl., though.

In a way, I was rather Bi-Curious for a while. I had an interest informs and sometimes thought about what it would be like to be with one, but never really had an urge or strong feeling to anyone. I was more into having a physical and emotional relationships with the opposite gender as I had had a rough time in my high school years. I suppose that pressed my confidence and spirit down quite a bit, so acting the 'norm' around people made things a bit easier. Then, as I got to about 16, I didn't really give a ********. I realised that I shouldn't care what others thought and became a true
Bi-Sexual by releasing that identity to people.
I have had intercourse with both genders even though I am only 19. I have only had that experience once with a female, but twice with a male. I have been pregnant twice, but both times I have lost the baby. In a way, this put me off dating, although I am happily taken at the moment and am hoping to see him sometime soon as he is overseas at the moment.
