Now this may be a topic that isn't sexually driven like most other topics. But I want to ask a question to other men that also like men. The question is when did you start to notice there are more guys sexually attracted to other guys than you think?
It's a loaded question but let me give some background about myself. I am a 21 year old tall black athletic normal guy. I started to notice that I had attractions to other guys around 12 years of age. Those attractions turned to actions where I would begin to mess around or fool around with friends. Innocent fun that didn't really go anywhere. From just mooning (pulling down trousers), comparing, watching porn together or just secretly watching a friend's older brother. Thing is we've all been there. But NEVER did I think that people I messed with or fooled around with genuinely liked guys like how I liked guys. At all.
By the time I made it to high school I accepted who I was but never came out. The people that were openly gay in high school were known. Maybe there were about 5? Out of the 1500 students but that was about it. Nothing serious. Also most guys that were out at the time were more open with themselves and more flamboyant. This is of course not to be offensive but just my thought process at an immature age in high school.
So out of the 1500 students in my highschool 5 of them I knew for sure liked other guys. 6 if you include myself. At this young age I was incredibly immature and did not believe that number deviated much from what I knew. In my head guys liking guys was a much few number than most believed.
After sexually maturing and actually hooking up with guys I noticed something was off. I was starting to have sex with guys who had girlfriends, baby mamas, children sometimes even divorcees. I heard of these cases but it was extremely rare I believed. Boy was I wrong. I started hooking up with guys that I never thought could ever like other guys. These were people on my old high school football team, popular guys in school and even college sports athletes. These are people that I never thought in a million years I would get a chance with because simply I thought they weren't gay. Their mannerisms, the way they spoke, and the amount of attention they gathered told me right off the bat I would never get them. I started to realize that the statistic that roughly 5-6 percent of men that identify as gay should be taken with a grain of salt.
Back to my original question but when did you guys start to notice that were more people like you out there than you thought? And why do you think that is? Are there a lot more people that secretly enjoy the company of other men than most people think?
Sorry for the typos I wrote this in a hurry and had to ask you guys for your opinions.
