Hey Pandas, What Was Your ‘Gay Awakening’? (Closed)

I was working on a new policy document at work, mid 20s, and with an intern called Julia she was around 22, long black hair, deep natural red lips and the most perfect thighs, as her legs crossed over and her short skirt let my eyes wander up to the start of her panties. It was getting very late and we were frustrated at the day. I’d only ever been into men, really. I noticed women of course but never acted. Julia and I were getting warm in the room, it was summer and the air wasn’t cooling. My T-shirt was sticking to me and I think you could see my nipples very prominently through it. I walked over to Julia to grab some documents and I brushed against her soft silky hair. I lingered. I sighed. The heat overwhelmed me and I dropped my guard. She put her hand onto mine, and guided it downwards, underneath her skirt. Everything was hot to the touch, and I just gave in. She lifted her skirt up and I pulled her panties off as fast as I could and passionately licked her out. We were absolutely sweating and then she stood up, grabbed me and got me on the desk, and put her 2 fingers up me. We kissed and played and made each other orgasm intensely. It was wonderful. I still love men but I’m also addicted to women too.

Not gay, but I realized I was ace roughly a year ago. My friends (whom are mostly in the lgbtq+ community) asked me if I preferred d*ck or boobs(it was probably something else, but I can’t really remember what they said exactly) and I realized I had virtually no interest in either

I go to a boarding school, I was original crushing on this guy but found that over time I didn't like him as much anymore. I then started to have feelings with one of the girls in my corridor, and I romanticized certain moments and started to act awkward around her, and her to me. I was just like "oh my, I'm in love with my best friend." We are both female.

In second grade I thought this person was cute and I thought they were a boy because they had short hair and I had never seen a girl with short hair. I later realized that they were were a girl but I still thought she was cute. I decided to tell my friend and she said that it was a sin to be gay so I decided I wasn't gay since it was "a sin to be gay". In 4th grade I realized that I did in fact like girls and then I told my friend and she was cool with it.

Fast forward to now I identify as queer but I haven't liked a boy in years. But I think I might like a boy but I'm just telling myself I don't because "crushes will only get in the way of school" and also cause my mental health is too low to try to deal with the possibility of having a crush

If anyone has any tips, feel free to share.

in fifth grade i had no education on lgbtq+ and knew absolutely nothing about its existence. i had this friend who came out to me as bisexual and i didn’t know what it meant so i looked it up. once i learned about that i was excited because i wasn’t ever introduced to the whole “girls can like girls concept” but i still thought i was straight. about a month later i realized i was being much more clingy to the friend since she had came out and it kinda hit me that i had a crush on her. i didn’t tell anyone but i identified myself as bisexual and over time started coming out to my family and friends and researching more into sexuality. almost 3 years later and i now identify as omnisexual and have openly had crushes on boys, girls, non-binary’s, and transgenders

In school I would feel weird about certain girls but couldn't figure out exactly why. I figured it was because I felt they were prettier than me, so it made me feel awkward. When I stopped believing in God in my early twenties it caused revelations about many things, one of them being that I'm bi. I was like, whoa. It's because I had a crush on them, not because they were better than me. It literally never occured to me. It's like a light switch was turned on and I could see for the first time.

In middle school, we were passing around a beat-up copy of Penthouse and one of the guys groused about how one of the pictorials had "too many spread shots of the guy's d**k". I realized I didn't mind that much.

So my aha moment was a picture on a classical music album cover, I (I’m a girl) got sudden butterflies and went oh s**t am I gay?!?!? And then I forgot about it for a year and then started questioning a bit because girls are really really pretty and then came out as bi. And then I ended up with a boyfriend, and it didn’t work out and as it went on and he wanted more physical intimacy I was just really yucked out, which confused me because I knew I wasn’t ace because girls. I decided finally to use the label lesbian, then had a girlfriend for a few months and found myself wanting with her what I found yucky with him. I still have little crushes on guys though but I no longer felt like bisexual was right for me, and then one day I just went hey I’m a biromantic lesbian there we go! Finally something that works yay! Thank goodness for microlabels lol
