I was 11 when I realized that I was crushing on a girl the same way I'd been crushing on boys since I was 5 or 6.

I was in my early teens, maybe around 13 when I realized that I was attracted to females also. It was a little weird at first because I wasn't really sure if I was straight or gay. By 15 I pretty much figured out that it didn't matter that I was more attracted to people for who they were than what gender they were.

I would say under 12. I made out with boys and girls and loved it.

I knew for quite a while, but didn't have the words for it until later on, around 17-18.

I was probably 13 when I realized I was drawn to women. It took me until later to realize I was only attracted to women.

I first realized I was attracted to women when I was about 7 years old. But I didn't start identifying as bisexual until I was 11.

I'd started having mild crushes on boys at about 10-11, started having romantic/tame sexual dreams a couple years later, and in high school really started masturbating and becoming a sexual being.

I knew I was straight. I escaped a lot of pain and confusion just because it's the accepted orientation, though, and I know that. As a cis woman, though, guys just push my buttons.

I thought I was bisexual at 16, but actually learned I was pansexual at 19, so 19.

Between 12 and 18, but I'm still learning new things!

Somewhere around the age of 18, I think...For me, it was sorta kinda maybe partially a choice (that's just speaking personally), so I'm not really sure I'd call it a "realization," but yeah, something like 18 or so.
