Is it normal to be attracted to boys?

I’m a boy. I’ve been trying to tell myself for a long time that I’m not attracted to boys, but no matter how hard I try I can’t stop it. I know my parents, my whole family really, hates gay and bisexual people. I’ve tried so hard to make it stop, but I can’t help it.

    I think it's sweet! My first lover was a boy about my age - 10 at the time - and we did everything except anal. I loved him!

    • Aw, that’s adorable :). There’s a boy I know and like. He hasn’t said it directly, but he basically hinted that he wants to have sex. I think I want to, too, but I feel guilty about it.

        I would proceed - but with caution. If he's sweet and sexy and handsome, you might want to see him like that for a while. I guess it's always possible that you might be satisfied with another guy and never want to try sex with a woman. And if he loves you back, it will be even better. Yes, I said love - as in respect and admire you, not abuse you in any way, and satisfy you as much as you do him. But I found sex with women was just as good if not better, if the girl loved me back. So just saying... make sure you're picking the right boy, and not just a one-night stand. That's my suggestion. Good luck!

    Dude, if you're gay you're gay. You can't stop it. Your family needs to chill. Being gay these days isn't the huge deal it was years ago.

    I remember having a crush on twins I went to school with. They were identical twins and it wasn’t until later in life I received a message from one of them and he actually told me they both had come out as gay since I had moved away and they too had both had a crush on me but where too afraid to make the first move. We were about 10yo at the time. So I regret not having the courage to do something then, who knows what would have become of us. So my advice, have courage and go for it!

    You should go with your feelings and not be restricted by your family’s beliefs.

    Was always attracted to boys when I was young and never acted on it. Biggest regret of my life!
