Adolescence is an awkward time for everyone, but once sexuality comes into the mix.. sh^t starts tuh get cuhRAYzy.
The straight people of AskReddit were kind enough to share their first moments of sexual emergence – aka “the moment they knew they wanted dat ass.” Enjoy!
1. Best to start young
Kindergarten.
Girl had her hair in a braid.
I noticed it looked a certain way, but I didn’t have the word to describe it. I asked my teacher to help me.
“Braid?” she asked.
“No,” I said.
We went through four or five more words. After each no, she’d ask me to explain more. Eventually she figured out the word.
“Oh,” she said, “you think it’s pretty.”
“Yeah,” I said, “she’s pretty.”
2. Understood
My sister had spice girls on VHS. I was very interested in that movie.
3. Politics. Le sigh…
There used to be a website called whitehouse.com
It was NOT a site dedicated to the White House. It was porn. My friends and I quickly exited the window in shock, but I thought, “I liked that.”
4. There ya go
When I was ten and found an underwear magazine in the mail
5. “One day” lololol
One day in 5th grade I noticed a lot of the girls in my class had bo*bs.
6. That ought to do it
The movie titanic, during that one drawing scene.
7. “…all I remember was ass”
11 years old. I was sitting in the drive through at El Pollo Loco, and this girl walked by in 1990s spandex jean shorts.
And all I remember was ass.
8. bo*bs are magical…
I was pretty young like 5 or 6 something like that, my parent put on Cartoon Network but didn’t notice when it’s runtime or whatever was over and the channel switched to showing movies, one of the movies had this nude scene in it, I don’t remember much of what it was about, I just remember there was a naked lady tied up to a chair, anyways, the moment I saw that lady’s bo*bs I was like…yep I gotta get my hands on a pair of those.
9. Ok… if you’re into deadly plant sex
Poison Ivy in Batman and Robin. Weird but it did something for me.
10. “I wonder if I still think girls are gross…”
It wasn’t a gradual realization for me. I was sitting, bored, in a sixth grade class, when I thought, “I wonder if I still think girls are gross,” followed immediately by, “I wonder if I am gay.” So I imagined myself kissing Mike, a hot piece of sixth-grade male ass on my right. No, that was disgusting.
Then I imagined myself kissing Clarissa, on my left. And this started the most intense and all-consuming crush I’ve ever had, or ever will have. It was f*cking magical.
11. What a man…
When I was four I saw a photo of Fabio. What followed was an exchange that went something like this:
“Mom. Is that a man? (looking at his thighs) He looks like a tree.”
“Yes. His name is Fabio.”
“I like him a lot.”
12. “…and that’s when I knew I liked girls.”
5th grade. This new girl transferred to our school from somewhere else, and we ended up sitting next to each other in computer class. We were playing some silly game and trying to help each other but, neither of us was doing great. Something happened in the game that was really silly and we both started laughing. Watching her smiling and laughing like that was the start of my first real crush, and that’s when I knew I liked girls.
13. ::Nanny laugh::
When I saw The Nanny on tv for the first time… Really did it for me. The Nanny named Fran!
14. DUH
Princess Leia.
15. Awwwww
Met this girl in primary, for my little mind she was perfect i guess. Well long story short i had a crush on her for 13 years and then i finally asked her out and now I’m married to her. Btw i met her when i was 5 and finally had the courage to ask her out when i was 18 and at this point she was on the other side of the country but we made it work.
16. TL;DR – they found out on Wednesday
When I was 7 and Addams Family movie came out and I saw Christina Ricci. That’s when I knew I liked girls and gothic girls that have a possibility of killing me really attracted me. Same to this day
17. Yaaaaassss
Age 7. Saw a boy casually walking onto the soccer field and I was like “ok, I really like something about that swagger”
I certainly remember my first moment, do you? Let us know in the comments!
