For me. Keeping it secret was so important, but when I was younger I did have a gay sexperience!! I imagine I must have been about sixteen, and had worked out that I had gay inclinations. Dwayne was nearly fifteen — we went to school together, although he was in a different year. We met at a at a school function.
He was everything that I didn’t feel I could be: confident, athletic, attractive and openly gay. I had been introverted, shy and in complete denial to my sexual preferences as I still am now … it was an upper class all-boys’ school and being gay was not really an option for me.
I tried to keep out of everyone’s way, that way now would notice me and no-one would question what I was about. No one knew, but my reticence and retiring nature were apparently as worthy of derision.
I Was Vulnerable and Desperate For Affirmation
My first gay experience began with a yearning for acceptance, met by Dwayne’s fearless authenticity. At sixteen, I hid my desires in the shadows of an all-boys’ school, where being gay felt forbidden. Dwayne, a year younger, radiated confidence—free of the shame I carried. His presence was a lifeline; he saw me as human, not a secret, making every moment with him liberating and joyful.
That vulnerability, desperate for affirmation, drew me to him. On a school trip to Holland, my crush deepened as he mirrored my interest with subtle gestures—a glance, a smile. I still hold those memories close, a tender fondness for the boy who helped me see my feelings weren’t wrong. My first gay experience wasn’t just a moment—it was a spark of self-discovery, igniting courage to embrace my true identity.
It Was Our Form of Gay Dating
I didn’t really think it would happen but — even as I have become entirely comfortable with him on the holiday and our form of ‘gay dating’ that was soon to become more. First we started exploring Amsterdam, walking along the lovely canals – we even took a boat trip in one of the glass roofed boats. It was fun, invigorating – a new way of life was opening up.
At first we continued with the pretense that we were just two guy exploring a lovely Dutch city but it was obvious that a closeness and bond was developing between us. The accidental brush each others hands that seemed to linger a few more seconds than normal. The electricity that we felt when we were near each other.
The sun seemed to shine brighter on those spring mornings, the birds sang more clearly. It was obvious to us both that we were not just good friend but we were falling in love.
I Was a Shy Gay Man Wanting to Pick Up
I wasn’t sociable, and I found meeting people difficult. Yet, I was still young and very horny. What did I have to lose, and I was still horny. In a relationship.
I had no idea what to expect, what were the rules or what would happen. We hired a hotel room together. I sat on a couch next to him. Then a hand rubbed my crotch, and before I could blink there was fumbling at my jeans and my raging hard on was in his mouth. Exhilarating.
For a few seconds I couldn’t care about my hang ups. His mouth was so soft, warm and wet and he flicked his tongue around with practiced ease. I wanted this guy. My cock wanted this guy.
Sensing my discomfort, he grabbed my hand and led me away from the bench We both lied down and I began to stroker his hard on from his shorts. I couldn’t drop to my knees fast enough. My hands started caressing a surprisingly thick cock before I wrapped my hungry mouth around it.
A slight moan escaped both of us and he lent against the tree as I went to town, leaving no skin dry and UN-licked. Hands sliding up against firm muscles and I tweaked his nipples for some nipple play. He turned on the TV and turned it to a channel to watch some hot gay porn movies.
I was really enjoying my first time at the beat, and all I could think at the time was satisfying my urge and why I was so naive as to have not done this sooner. But now I am just a mature gay.
My Advice to Those Exploring Sexuality
My journey as a gay rights advocate began with my first gay experience, and I urge anyone exploring their sexuality to embrace it with courage. Start by acknowledging your feelings without shame—whether gay, bi, or questioning, your desires are valid. Journaling helped me process my emotions, offering clarity in a world that often demands silence.
Seek safe spaces, like LGBTQ+ groups or online forums, to connect with others who share your journey. My first gay experience taught me the power of community—talking to others reduces isolation. Be honest with partners about your needs, setting boundaries to ensure comfort. Consent is key; never feel pressured to rush.
Explore slowly, whether through casual dates or self-reflection, and don’t fear vulnerability—it’s strength. Therapy or trusted friends can guide you through doubts. As Pj Weir, I’ve learned that living authentically, as I did in Amsterdam, empowers you to inspire others. Your path to self-discovery is yours—own it boldly.
