Is it normal to figure out your bisexual at 17?

I just realized that I'm bi. I'm 17 and I don't know about you guys, but I watched coming out stories of guys realizing it when they were a kid. Is it normal that i realized at this age?

    There is no normal age for finding such things out, be glad you found out now and not once you were married with 3 kids :P

    Congrats on being mature enough to learn about yourself and wise enough to accept what you learn.

    Hell, I know women and men who found out they were gay when they were married and/or with children. Not a nice situation to be in. It's good that you found out now :)

    Honestly 17 is a little late. Most people figure out their sexuality when they start puberty 11-13.

    Ofcourse its okay :) !! Some people dont discover this untill they are proper adults !! And as for younger kids doing this: you see our generation are obsessed with labels , and feel the need to fit into a certain category quickly to avoid being disliked , left behind or getting called a loner ! And this is partly why out generation are so judgemental and shallow too !! Personaly , I would say 17 is a sensible age as you are mature enough to understand and look at things , however if I were homosexual or bisexual (which I am not)I would come out whenever I felt most comfortable doing so , and also I would make sure I was definetly sure first :) !!

    Yes. Sometimes, discovering about yourself take time. When I was a kid I spent many years not being attracted to anyone, a few more believing I was a lesbian and ever since then knowing that I was actually bisexual.

        Oh yes, I almost forgot... That's the best thing to be and all the more better if you do it secretly. ;)

    Hey should i come out soon since I finally realized this? or wait awhile. I'm pretty sure my parents will be acceptable about it because they already think I'm gay.

    Some people know from when they are 12 and some people only know when they are in their 40s. Plus a very few people seem to have sexualities that change fluidly overtime.

    17 is normal. I'm gay and I only really knew it at about that age and accepted it only later, though there was definitely same sex attraction before that but I put it down to confusion since I grew up in a very anti-gay atmosphere.

    Some people are aware of their sexuality from a very young age, but others take longer, my uncle didn't realise he was bi-sexual until he was 45! Realising at 17 is normal.

    I've known girls that have known they were gay/bi since they were 11 years old. While it is true that they had no business worrying about sex, they still knew. Some people who are gay/bi, aren't gay or bi their whole lives. It's possible to become gay or bi even if you were straight or had no sexual orientation. So yes it is normal.

    Yeah its normal. I realised I was having feelings towards other girls when i was 13 but didn't experiment til I was 14. I did go to an all-girls school so it was more normal but I didn't come out to my other friends til i was 17 though coz there was still a bit stigma about it with my mum. Congrats for coming out though! Ax

      Same like I'm a 16 yr old girl that likes dick but I love a women's pussy like when I was 14 I had sex with a married couple man and women they pulled me in to the cubical and they were like in the 30's and anyway the man said bend over so I did and he stuck his cock in my ass and it felt pretty amazing than his wife were hooking up with me at the same time which was good than I moaned really loud because he started to pump even harder and 2 ladies were in the toilets next to us and they open our door up and saw me getting pounded away and they said I was a slut but I came not long after that so did he but it was a good experience and what do toys think an I a slut? Or is it natural to let strangers fuck you?

    Normal, but still possible your sexuality may change. You're still young.

    Everyone has a little bisexual in them. It is just a matter of having an open mind, and not listening to all the social stigma that people place on it.

    If you have already realized this at such a young, persecutory age, then it is a sign that you are a going to be a good person with an open mind.

  • Animals are bisexual, homosexual, it's found in nature... and thus, natural.

    Christians have pretty much no reason to be against it. If you hear anyone spewing words of hate, don't listen to them.

    Peace, love, being a hippy is the way :P

    Yeah it's normal.
    Sooner is better than later!
    You could have realized it much later. 17 actually seems like a good age to figure it out.

    I realized I was bisexual when I was 12, but it's completely normal at a later age.

  • When I wake up.
    When I am not asleep.
    Sometime between the night and the day.
    The Creepy Weeper's calling
    and reaching out his hands to me,
    the longest arm of all.
    Then he tells me
    exactly what to do
    for you,
    who need me most of all.
    And says if I should grow up
    we'll lose the perfect love.

    He says;

    I'm made up out of them

    I am a fake

    I am a ripoff

    I will definitely shit on you to get off
