were you sexually-curious as a child ?

[Skyl]

As a very young child, during my first and long encounters with the internet, I remember having an interest in sex. I would often be into sexual games (usually ones for boys, but I'm a female myself and feel no sexual attraction to either sex). I wasn't sure how it all worked and what it entailed, really, but I know that there were rare times where I would think of wanting to have sexual intercourse with a male stranger and perhaps even felt overwhelmed/aroused by those thoughts. However growing up and developing, the sexuality in my environment was always a dry topic to me, that didn't affect me or my curiosity in any way. Never has anything of that sort wanted me to actually seek it out. So I wouldn't think I have any sort of a repressed desire.

Still I wonder, what does my early occasional fantasies of experincing sex meant ?

 

I'm not sure about how sexuality works in a sexual's young mind too, though.

I was pretty curious about it, although never really made any attempt to have sex. Eventually when I actually had sex (female initiated), my reaction was... really, people make a big deal out of THAT?  It didn't leave me inspired.  Note that I was exposed to pornography at a very young age, I don't know if that had an influence on my youthful curiosity or not.

Currently I am a child, and I can say with full confidence that growing up (to this point) was awkward, once I found out about sex I had assumed everyone had sex in a committed relationship. It was the normal, and no one tried to prove me wrong. So, I essentially dived right into literotica, which I found extremely boring and often of poor quality. And ignored sex for three years and managed to find out about asexuals and aromantics before getting in a relationship or having sex and have either ultimately be unsuccessful.

Nope, not at all. I got "the talk" at around age five (pretty concise "anatomical", I surely never heard about the birds and bees/bees and flowers... it doesn't hurt having a medical nurse as a parent, I guess ) and pretty much lost all interest in the topic until puberty hit around twelve, and was very blasé about sex ed in 3rd grade ("I already know this stuff... pretty much a waste of time"). I already was certain then that this stuff was something I'd never do.

 

Once puberty did hit, masturbation became a neccessary evil, and I started consuming soft pornography to get it done with (think Playboy Mag - nude women "arranged pleasantly" ). Still never had desire for having sex, or for looking at people having sex - even after 30 years of porn consumption, I never "graduated" from nudie pics and softcore solos.

I was very curious about anatomy but the idea of sex grossed me out. ("Adults do WHAT with their WHAT?")

[Homer]

Yep, anatomy was an interesting thing. Female anatomy in particular; I guess that's a question of having "access". If I ever had a question concerning male parts, I could answer them myself. Other than that, not so much.

 

Sex itself wasn't much of an interest, though, if at all.

[SithLord]

I was interested in the concept when I was little.  Went away by puberty though.  Not really in the anatomical sense though.  I understood sex was supposed to be fun and feel good so was curious in that part.  Learned the anatomy later when all interest was gone.

I was very interested in it. I got to read books about it when my sister was going through The Talk (so I was about 5 or 6) and I really enjoyed learning about it. When I was 9 or 10 I met a friend do who knew a lot of sex stuff that they won't put in early sex ed books - porn, prostitution, homosexuality - and we played with our Barbie dolls accordingly.

[RK800]

Not sex specifically since I wasn't even really aware people had an interest in it until 16 (which really confused me because I honestly couldn't believe it at first) but my...romantic kinks? I guess you could call them that. Showed up around age 12/13.

[Ayu]

I was kind of curious about it, but I got bored quickly because I was pretty sure I already knew everything. I'm not sure how, but since I was very, very little I knew what sex, pornography and masturbation where (without being directly exposed to any of them), so when it came to "the talk" and overly sexual classmates it all was too normal for me to find it appealing. During puberty I did explore my sexuality in a lot of ways, which is one of the main reasons I'm pretty certain about my disinterest in it.

[WhenSummersGone]

Sex as a topic? Very much so as I have a high libido, but never the thought of having it myself and I still don't.

[Mychemicalqpr]

I was generally a curious child, so yes.  I asked my mom several times if I was old enough to learn where babies came from yet.  She wouldn't tell me more than that it was a "special adult hug".  Well, I like hugs, so I thought that sounded interesting, and I wanted to know about this amazing super-hug.  When I finally got the talk at 12 or 13, I was very disappointed and grossed out and no longer curious.  For four or five years I was mad at the world for the existence of sex.  Eventually when I came to acceptance, I went through a phase of curiosity around 17, during which I think I learned a lot about myself.

I really don't think I ever thought about it until I became a teenager and the word "virgin" started getting thrown about...

[flesh-pocket]

yep. 

[Moonstruck Dragon]

I was not at all. I thought it was wierd and made no sense unless you were trying to have a child. And wanted nothing to do with it or learning about it. I thought/and still think that movies were/are way too obsessed with it. 

 

[dissolved]

Nope.

[GreenShrine]

I have very little interest in sexual intercourse. Like, I would like to have sex at some point in my life with the right person, but I'm in no hurry. Right now I have no interest in sex.

[Wenderbread]

I was very interested in sex as a child. I have no idea why, or where the interest came from. I have no idea how I ever even learned what sex is; I don't remember anyone ever telling me. I really doubt my parents had a conversation with me about it, because I knew about it from a pretty young age. Maybe around 6? I just remember that my barbies were VERY sexualized when I played with my sister and a trusted friend of ours. I don't think my parents ever knew about that. I remember knowing that I wasn't supposed to know what sex was, but being curious about it anyway. In our games, it was just something that happened when two people (or two dolls lol) were dating, but I remember going to great lengths to hide that kind of play from my parents/anyone else who might be watching or listening. I also remember not knowing that sex was related to reproduction until the 3rd grade. I connected the dots from some books I'd read that hinted at some things.

I have noooo idea where any of that came from, and it's weird to think back on it now. It's like it was all from a whole other person. I've never talked about it with my sister. I feel kind of uncomfortable about it now, I guess. I don't understand how I knew those things, or why I was so obsessed with it. Anyway, I think around the time puberty hit, my interest in and curiosity about sex completely switched off. It became something utterly repulsive, weird, and creepy. Then, eventually I became more or less apathetic about it.

[bonny]

No, not as a child, and I wasn't interested in anatomy either.

I wasn't really sex-curious until I was in my mid-teens, and then not in the sense of actively seeking it out, but in the sense that I wondered what this experience was that "everyone else" knew about and I didn't.

Not at all. I remember not thinking anything until sexual education classes at school. Then thinking "Yuck". I've thought that ever since.

Too repulsed to even get aroused when with someone. It makes for a rather dififcult attitude to dating.
