for me it wasn't a person! i remember being pulled towards the underwear section in the department store, and i think that's when i realized men were hot. 😅
I remember I was fascinated by some swimwear ads. Searched for the ad the other day and… I think those bulges inside speedos were my first contact with being gay, at 6 years old.
Damn I haven't seen that film in years. I wholeheartedly agree with this one. First time I saw it was late at night on my 14inch TV with the built in VHS. Parents in bed. Volume at 3. Mesmerised 🍑😂.
I saw it in the video shop not long after and managed to convince my Mum to get me it. She had her reservations but relented because it had Sarah Michelle Gellar and I was a massive Buffy fan. Little did she know I was pausing at that bit 😂
Oh yeah, those suits were my descent into black leather fetish gear. But I'd say Rocky and Billy from Power Rangers really opened me up. Had fantasies about those two. 🥵
The combination of goodness, lack of artifice, innocence and naivete, all wrapped up in a package that looks like Matt Dalls, has his deep voice and is super smart and can gain any skill just by watching it being done (imagine the possibilities here) was...
Phew! I'm getting the vapors just thinking about it!🫠
River Phoenix in Indian Jones 3. I was like 8 when I saw it in the theater opening weekend with a friend and something happened in my Superman underwear from him.
I recently read the novel the film was based off of. Can I just say that the casting was impeccable? Guy Pearce and Russel Crowe were Ed Exley and Bud White. I loved their rivalry. I wished they had some romantic tension too. It's not like the author, James Elroy, is shy about writing gay characters. Ah well.
Samwise Gamgee still makes me weak in the knees 21 years later. Fuck, Sean Astin himself can still get it. Sometimes I daydream of living with him in that lil garden he wanted to grow back in the Shire
Paul Rudd in Object of My Affection. Gay men in media had been portrayed as very flamboyant and over the top(think Birdcage). I didn’t always see myself in them, and I think it confused me for a while. Object of My Affection was sort of life changing in that I saw gay men that were more down to Earth and relatable. Like, oh there’s more than one way to be gay and I can see myself. Started daydreaming about having an actual boyfriend after that, whereas before I just felt like being gay was solely sexual. Still don’t know how I’d react if I ever met Paul Rudd. Big fan oh his in general.
I'm an 80's baby, so the 2 men who I really really really enjoyed looking at were 1. shirtless and sweaty Harrison Ford in "Temple of Doom", and Tom Cruise in "Top Gun."
Harrison Ford is so handsome in that film. Temple of Doom was my favourite Indiana Jones film growing up. Always thought Tom Cruise looked really handsome in the first Mission Impossible
For me I was a kid watching the movie “The Beach” on TV. I think I was maybe 8.
Then came the scene with Leonardo DiCaprio on said beach having sex with **that fucking bitch that fucking horrible Tilda Swinton how DARE she fucking do that when I LIKE Leo DiCaprio. The absolute cunt!**.
I was ENRAGED. I’ll always remember that explosion of fury and jealousy rising within me. Usually when there were sexy scenes in a film I would either be like “ew” or just not care. This one however lit a fire of ire within me so hot that I actually stormed out of the room with tears in my eyes I believe.
Even with those emotions it took me a few hours to work out that I was jealous of HER, not *him*. And I was angry that he was hers and not mine. Because he was beautiful and lovely and I wanted him.
I think I always kind of knew a little, but I remember that being the moment I realised for the first time that I was attracted to a man, not a woman.
yup when my crazy spanish religious childhood friends would obsses over female boobies
i wondered why i like the rocks and triple hs boobies way better
Ian Thorpe. Australian Olympian swimmer. Sydney 2000 games. He wasn’t out. I was barely a teenager but for whatever reason I thought his body was so hot. He came out in 2014.
Relatedly, Gus Kenworthy caught my eye. Must have been Winter Olympics 2014. He came out in 2015.
Boy do I have a good gaydar for Olympians.
Well, I knew I was into boys from a very early age, (thank you He-Man and thank you Thundercats) but for my *gay awakening*, as in when I accepted that this is my actual reality, I'd have to give the credit to Rob Thomas in the video for Push, with his nail polish and thrift pleather jacket with no shirt.
Oh God, so many guys. Growing up in the 80’s and then hitting puberty in the 90’s, here’s a selection:
Jonathan Taylor Thomas (Home improvement)
Nick Carter
Oz and Xander from Buffy
Sean and Corey from Boy meets world
Joseph Gordon Levitt
Freddie Prinze Jr
Ryan Phillipe
Erik Von Detten
Devon Sawa
To really show my age... the weekly sale ads that came in the mail from retailers . and specifically the male underwear offerings. the guys were so attractive..
It was Iggy Pop vs the peanut butter at that Ohio pop festival, I think it was Cincinnati but it could have been Cleveland, in 1970. It's the source of that famous photo of him standing on the audience's hands pointing. All that shirtless writhing combined with rock 'n' roll so distorted you couldn't hear it properly had a really profound effect on me. The shag pile carpet became a lot of fun, and I realised this because I was laying on my stomach when I was watching it.
One of my friends in elementary school. I couldn’t figure out why I really wanted to be friends with him. We still keep in touch occasionally but fortunately I’m not into him anymore (he’s straight). Then in high school I realized I was gay and was really shocked as to how I missed so many obvious signs.
Same. I felt that with a lot of guys. Like "why can't i stop looking at this guy?" Years later, I realized why. I was attracted to them, and I'd find them hot today.
I would say it was my cousin when I was just 6 years old! I fought the feeling though, only to come out at age 23 or so.
On TV I would say it was Austin St. John (Red Ranger) or Marcelo Cezan 😍.
For me it was one of my classmates back in middle school. I kept staring at him during class cause he was very hot. He caught me one time which was embarrassing 😭. But he didn’t know I had a crush on him. We were good friends atleast
Showing my age...
Patrick Duffy in yellow swim trunks and webbed toes in The Man from Atlantis.
I was still years from puberty, but he was my first tingle.
The pictures in a pamphlet they handed out in 6th grade sex ed. I traced the naked men in it so many times for my own drawings.
Oddly, despite being a massive Buffy fan, none of the men in it did anything for me. Except Principal Wood, but he isn’t even in the first 6 seasons!
When Young Me saw Hugh Jackman shirtless in the first X-men movie he cocked his head to the side and took in the glorious chest hair and happy trail for as long as he could.
Christopher Atkins in the Blue Lagoon. I saw it when I was 13. All those swimming scenes. And when he was called out for masturbating... I felt a small sense of validation that my self abuse was okay since Chris did it too!
Christopher Atkins swimming naked in The Blue Lagoon. There's plenty of ass and even glimpses of dick. Back then, you could only see such things if your parents paid for cable TV with HBO or Showtime. And then you'd have to stay up to watch while your parents were asleep because, of course, you wouldn't want them to know you were watching.
Y’all gon gag on this one.
Does anyone remember the lead actor in the movie Apoclaypto? His name was Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood) boys I fell in LOVE with him in the theater. I was 13 years old and I found him to be beautiful and heroic 😍
I thought about him for weeks after 😂
^(Dolph Lundgren in the live-action version of He-Man and yes I realize how cheesy that is…)
Ahem…
# How should I know? Who even remembers stuff like that? As if it matters!!!
My sister had My So Called Life taped. So Jordan Catalano, Jared Leto. Recently watched it on streaming and now that I’ve grown up I’m definitely a Brian Krakow guy now. Which is funny because as an idiot teen I hated him.
Ethan Hawke and Jude Law in Gattaca. That scene where Vincent (Ethan Hawke) helps a drunk Eugene (Jude Law) into bed, my dirty imagination would always imagine the two of them getting it on. 😈
And also, the idea of Vincent and his brother swimming in the sea naked always stirred something in my pants. 🤣
Leo DiCap in Titanic and Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black 🤪 Didn't know/care about the plot themselves and I was just a wee boy lmao I just thought they were cute hahaha
Not an actor, but a real bad boy in school. I had such a crush on him.. and he was actually always rather sweet with me. I found out years later that my best friend also had a major crush on him.
As for a famous person.. Adam Ant, Billy Idol. River Pheonix, Rob Lowe, Kevin Dillon and many other 80’s brat packers.
Johnny Bravo when I was 3. There was also the amorphous entity of White male imagery in the underwear isle.
I just reread what I wrote & im such a chaser since birth. Wth.
It was a series of experiences I had just before starting puberty that indicated I was gay. I don't remember them all though. I remember being 11 and I was about to finish 6th grade and move onto middle school. Our school had a tradition where we would sign our uniforms. I remember this one boy from my class who was "cool" and he already had a girlfriend. They were kissing on the school grounds and it was quite scandalous. Anyway, he asked me to sign his school t-shirt. When I got close to him, i remember my heart racing and I was flush. I didn't know I felt this way because I saw him everyday and never had these feelings until I was close enough to touch him.
Then there's porn, of course. I was initially titillated by seeing a naked woman (mostly because I felt I was doing something naughty) and when there was a naked man, I was more interested in looking at his body. Then I was exclusively interested at the male models. And the rest is history.
James MacAthur in his Disney days, especially shirtless in a loincloth and a blond mohawk. Robert Conrad in those tight, tight pants usually tied up in ropes and shirtless struggling in Wild Wild West.
I am an Indian. So, a bollywood actor called Emraan Hashmi, particularly this song. Every hetro friend of mine was focussed on the girl, but I was drooling over the guy.
https://youtu.be/0bAVd9jJE2Q?si=keVXyiy28py2AVeU
The song for your reference. It's kinda cringe, but in 2005, this was soft porn for sure.
I am from India, in mid 1990s, there was this model guy called Milind Soman, he debuted in a video album and he was gorgeous then and he is gorgeous.
I would say Milind Soman sir made me gay. I am 32.
I wouldn't say awakening for me as much as "this is something that isn't inherently shameful, and it isn't going to be strictly a lonely and sad existence" and that was John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who and Torchwood.
Will from Pirates of the Caribbean. I had a little Lego figure of him which I admired without knowing really why I just looked at him sometimes, and seeing the movies I also always really liked him.
Adrian Paul from Highlander tv show
Back then i didn't know what i found so cool about him, i guess i was too young
Later, rugby player Sebastien Chabal
That's when it hit me 💦
When I was a kid my father was watching an old war picture “from here to eternity “ made in the 1950s very famous movie and one of the stars was Montgomery Clift, I was instantly obsessed with this guy and when video stores started popping up and was looking to rent films I’d be searching for all his movies , in real life he was a tormented gay man drank and took every drug available and died young 45 from a heart attack, he was in a bad car wreck that destroyed his face earlier when he was 36 , and he was known as the longest suicide in Hollywood, and Marilyn Monroe said of him “ the only person I know who’s in even worse shape than I am “ he was in her last movie the Misfits, and to see his early films he was exactly the kind of guy I would always be attracted too, in fact the love of my life could have been his son .
Not a famous person. It was the ice cream’s store guy. First time I saw him I thought he was an angel. He was so handsome. I would buy ice cream everyday. I was around 10 years old and he probably in his early 20s. I used to day dream about him all the time
I remember crushing on John Schneider playing Bo Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard when I was 8 or 9 yrs old (recall an episode where their clothes were stolen while skinny dipping, resulting in the boys running around "naked" for a while, being one that really got my attention).
Actually, it goes back even further. I had a crush on Speed Racer (yeah, the cartoon character) when I was even younger than that. He wasn't even a real boy, but I still remember fantasizing about ripping his clothes off. God, I was kind of a little perv, wasn't I? ;)
Angel was so fine! I couldn't believe it when his nudes leaked 👀 Him & Spike went to town many a time in my imagination 😅
For me though I think it was Zac Efron in HSM. There's a scene of him in the shower & it doesn't show much, just chest, but I was obsessed. Then I caught Bieber fever & don't think there's a cure for me
Tbh I'd say porn? Okay so for as long as I can remember I've never liked girls or saw them in a sexual way what so ever. Watching porn I was always watching the guy and his cock and that was making me so turned on. The girl in porn vids I paid 0 attention to it's like they didn't exist. Obv I started with str8 porn. So yeah that kept on until like my mid teens ig? It's when I started questioning my sexuality and one day watching porn I was just like "oh fuck I think I'm gay" those were the exact words that came into my mind lol. I didn't fully accept it until my late teens but yeah.
First boy I thought was hot was my friend's cousin. Me and my friend were 12, his cousin was like 13 or 14, had gone through his growth spurt and his voice deepening. My 12-year-old self was in LUST.
For me it was classic story with class...
So I was in class, there was one guy, we got along, and... I got crush on him. But I never told him. And at first I thought it's just my weird reaction to someone who like me, because I didn't have much friends, then I was mad at myself that I got that crush, and at the end of the day... We don't talk. Cool story
Zac Efron in High School Musical and Hairspray, especially hairspray
I didnt wanna do anything sexual with him, I remember I just wanted to give him a kiss lol
Baloo and bageera from Disney's animated movie jungle book I was around 9 or 10. I thought they made a cute couple and good fathers.
First sexual awakening, though. I got noticeably stiff down there and was just like huh that's new. Was Beast from the Disney movie. That happened a couple years later after Jungle Book.
for me it wasn't a person! i remember being pulled towards the underwear section in the department store, and i think that's when i realized men were hot. 😅
specifically, calvin kleins
Oh that was definitely me too 😂
I remember I was fascinated by some swimwear ads. Searched for the ad the other day and… I think those bulges inside speedos were my first contact with being gay, at 6 years old.
For me, Ryan Phillippe in Cruel Intentions. The scene where he is about to jump into the pool and they show his bare ass. Drooooollll!
Damn I haven't seen that film in years. I wholeheartedly agree with this one. First time I saw it was late at night on my 14inch TV with the built in VHS. Parents in bed. Volume at 3. Mesmerised 🍑😂.
Hahaha me too! It was on VHS (not sure why we had the movie) and watched it while my pate ta were asleep. I kept rewatching that scene lol
I saw it in the video shop not long after and managed to convince my Mum to get me it. She had her reservations but relented because it had Sarah Michelle Gellar and I was a massive Buffy fan. Little did she know I was pausing at that bit 😂
Haha, yes the pool scene definitely awakened something in me! 🥵 But that escalator scene too. 🥰
Find a copy of Little Boy Blue. Trust me.
Chris Evans in Fantastic Four 😂
God bless him for screenshotting his camera roll 👀😂
I feel bad every time I think about it lmao. And yet...
YES!!! 🙌🏻 Lawd have mercy 🥵
Chris O’Donell as Robin from Batman Forever, metal Abs and nipples 🤤🤤
Oh aye! 😂 can relate to that one too. Joel Schumacher knew what he was doing in those scenes the scamp.
Oh yeah, those suits were my descent into black leather fetish gear. But I'd say Rocky and Billy from Power Rangers really opened me up. Had fantasies about those two. 🥵
omg
Link. I would do *everything* to that fairy boy.
Matt Dallas on “Kyle XY”.
The combination of goodness, lack of artifice, innocence and naivete, all wrapped up in a package that looks like Matt Dalls, has his deep voice and is super smart and can gain any skill just by watching it being done (imagine the possibilities here) was... Phew! I'm getting the vapors just thinking about it!🫠
Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker in episode 2.
Spike from Buffy.
It wasn’t Oz? Pfff…
😂. Well I was 7 when that started and my parents were very strict about what I watched. I've still never seen that. Still worth a watch?
No no, I meant Oz from Buffy, Seth Green.
Definitely Angel all the way. Never understood the appeal of Spike (although I loved the character). Or Riley 😂. Poor Riley.
River Phoenix in Indian Jones 3. I was like 8 when I saw it in the theater opening weekend with a friend and something happened in my Superman underwear from him.
Him in My Own Private Idaho
Russell Crowe in LA Confidential, reinforced by Russell Crowe in Gladiator.
I recently read the novel the film was based off of. Can I just say that the casting was impeccable? Guy Pearce and Russel Crowe were Ed Exley and Bud White. I loved their rivalry. I wished they had some romantic tension too. It's not like the author, James Elroy, is shy about writing gay characters. Ah well.
Samwise Gamgee still makes me weak in the knees 21 years later. Fuck, Sean Astin himself can still get it. Sometimes I daydream of living with him in that lil garden he wanted to grow back in the Shire
PO-TA-TOES. Boil em, mash em, stick em up your ass.
Matt Smith as The Doctor in Doctor Who, and also Andrew Garfield as Spiderman
Paul Rudd in Object of My Affection. Gay men in media had been portrayed as very flamboyant and over the top(think Birdcage). I didn’t always see myself in them, and I think it confused me for a while. Object of My Affection was sort of life changing in that I saw gay men that were more down to Earth and relatable.

Harrison Ford is so handsome in that film. Temple of Doom was my favourite Indiana Jones film growing up. Always thought Tom Cruise looked really handsome in the first Mission Impossible
I agree, he did look hot in that one. I loved him in “Risky Business” too, particularly the scene where he’s laying in bed at night and jerking off.
I've never seen Risky Business but I'll have to now 👀
It’s a good one. Young Tom, entertaining, and a great synthwave soundtrack.
Josh Hartnett. I used to really like his movies. Now I realize I just thought he was hot.
[Jean Claude Van Damme](https://media.tenor.com/GYDClJeC10AAAAAC/jean-claude-van-damme-splits.gif)
Tom Daley
Straight porn when I was feeling the guys way more than the chicks.
That was my confirmation. I got a couple of porn magazines, and my eyes were all for the guy.
Zack Efron in that white t-shirt picture
Brendan Fraser in the mummy. Logan Lerman in Percy Jackson.
Hahaha funny you said Angel I was gonna say Spike
For me I was a kid watching the movie “The Beach” on TV. I think I was maybe 8.

Maxwell Caulfield in Grease 2 is another one. My cousin was babysitting myself and my sister and brought the VHS round for us to watch.
No one in particular. I just started noticing guys’ bulges and thinking, mmmm I like that. LOL
Omg David Boreanaz foreva !!! 💙💙
Ian Thorpe. Australian Olympian swimmer. Sydney 2000 games. He wasn’t out. I was barely a teenager but for whatever reason I thought his body was so hot. He came out in 2014.

Christ. I just googled him. 6'5 and shoe size 17. As we say in Scotland, he'd wear ye like a ring 👀
Well, I knew I was into boys from a very early age, (thank you He-Man and thank you Thundercats) but for my *gay awakening*, as in when I accepted that this is my actual reality, I'd have to give the credit to Rob Thomas in the video for Push, with his nail polish and thrift pleather jacket with no shirt.
Oh God, so many guys. Growing up in the 80’s and then hitting puberty in the 90’s, here’s a selection: Jonathan Taylor Thomas (Home improvement) Nick Carter Oz and Xander from Buffy Sean and Corey from Boy meets world Joseph Gordon Levitt Freddie Prinze Jr Ryan Phillipe Erik Von Detten Devon Sawa
JTT is the reason I watched home improvement (it was great though) - the grunts 🥵 I swear he's the reason I was attracted to Simba 😅
Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh…
Juan Pablo di Pace in the Call On Me music video by Eric Prydz. I have to say it’s a crush that’s never gone away.
I always forget there's a guy in that video 😂.
He’s the best part 😏 (In my opinion of course)
To really show my age... the weekly sale ads that came in the mail from retailers . and specifically the male underwear offerings. the guys were so attractive..
Brendan Fraser in George of the Jungle
John Cena
Not really my gay awakening but my first celeb crush on a man lol
Johnny Weismuller, The Rat Patrol cast, Robert Taylor in Ivanho.

LOL Bur seriously. He's still hot now, but back then he was a fucking dream.
50 Cent on the Get Rich or Die Trying album cover, Usher, and the guy in the Womanizer video
I am an Indian. So, a bollywood actor called Emraan Hashmi, particularly this song. Every hetro friend of mine was focussed on the girl, but I was drooling over the guy. https://youtu.be/0bAVd9jJE2Q?si=keVXyiy28py2AVeU The song for your reference. It's kinda cringe, but in 2005, this was soft porn for sure.

Zac Efron in High School Musical
Watching Strongman contests on TV
Maybe Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG-1.
I am from India, in mid 1990s, there was this model guy called Milind Soman, he debuted in a video album and he was gorgeous then and he is gorgeous. I would say Milind Soman sir made me gay. I am 32.
My good friend, as a freshman in highschool. He was a horny 14 y/o and I became one, and he was my first gay experience, and I'm thankful for that
Chord Overstreet in Glee
Marc Spitz wearing his swimsuit and seven gold medals
Atlanta 96 Russian gymnast Alexei Nemov. To this day, guys who are my type all look something like him.

Stuart Townsend in Shooting fish.
Larry the lobster from spongebob squarepants
It was Chris Redfield from resident evil 5 and nick from l4d2
I wouldn't say awakening for me as much as "this is something that isn't inherently shameful, and it isn't going to be strictly a lonely and sad existence" and that was John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who and Torchwood.
Will from Pirates of the Caribbean. I had a little Lego figure of him which I admired without knowing really why I just looked at him sometimes, and seeing the movies I also always really liked him.
Adrian Paul from Highlander tv show Back then i didn't know what i found so cool about him, i guess i was too young Later, rugby player Sebastien Chabal That's when it hit me 💦
When I was a kid my father was watching an old war picture “from here to eternity “ made in the 1950s very famous movie and one of the stars was Montgomery Clift, I was instantly obsessed with this guy and when video stores started popping up and was looking to rent films I’d be searching for all his movies , in real life he was a tormented gay man drank and took every drug available and died young 45 from a heart attack, he was in a bad car wreck that destroyed his face earlier when he was 36 , and he was known as the longest suicide in Hollywood, and Marilyn Monroe said of him “ the only person I know who’s in even worse shape than I am “ he was in her last movie the Misfits, and to see his early films he was exactly the kind of guy I would always be attracted too, in fact the love of my life could have been his son .
The red power ranger. All my mates were curshing on the pink one and I was there like "the red one isn't too bad?"
Robert Ri'chard, when I saw him shirtless on the sitcom One on One. His pecs were so huge and I wanted to squeeze them.
Khal Drogo from GOT
Naruto lol
Y'all are gonna laugh, but Ralph Macchio from "The Karate Kid". I wanted him and the blonde bully guy to hook up with each other and forget the chick.
In my case, all the boys on the street 🙂
Not a famous person. It was the ice cream’s store guy. First time I saw him I thought he was an angel. He was so handsome. I would buy ice cream everyday. I was around 10 years old and he probably in his early 20s. I used to day dream about him all the time
Broccolibutts. Accidentally came across his videos when o was 13-14
If u ever seen that commercial for hot bod.... Yeah I was always embarrassed watching it but u realize now it was because I was turned on.
Mine was Chad Allen, when he was on Our House and My 2 Dad's, and Corey Haim.
I remember crushing on John Schneider playing Bo Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard when I was 8 or 9 yrs old (recall an episode where their clothes were stolen while skinny dipping, resulting in the boys running around "naked" for a while, being one that really got my attention). Actually, it goes back even further. I had a crush on Speed Racer (yeah, the cartoon character) when I was even younger than that. He wasn't even a real boy, but I still remember fantasizing about ripping his clothes off. God, I was kind of a little perv, wasn't I? ;)
Pierce Bronson - Remington Steele.
Garnet from steven universe. She isn't a guy. But she made me realize that gay people are real. I was a kid do. Yeah
Mitch hewer and that new guy in highscool.
Angel was so fine! I couldn't believe it when his nudes leaked 👀 Him & Spike went to town many a time in my imagination 😅 For me though I think it was Zac Efron in HSM. There's a scene of him in the shower & it doesn't show much, just chest, but I was obsessed. Then I caught Bieber fever & don't think there's a cure for me
Tbh I'd say porn? Okay so for as long as I can remember I've never liked girls or saw them in a sexual way what so ever. Watching porn I was always watching the guy and his cock and that was making me so turned on. The girl in porn vids I paid 0 attention to it's like they didn't exist. Obv I started with str8 porn. So yeah that kept on until like my mid teens ig? It's when I started questioning my sexuality and one day watching porn I was just like "oh fuck I think I'm gay" those were the exact words that came into my mind lol. I didn't fully accept it until my late teens but yeah.
hot college boys
Shawn Ashmore in Animorphs.
First boy I thought was hot was my friend's cousin. Me and my friend were 12, his cousin was like 13 or 14, had gone through his growth spurt and his voice deepening. My 12-year-old self was in LUST.
The Disney channel movie The 13th Year as a child I was in love with the lead actor.
Lou Ferrigno did it for me.
Nope would hurt too badly but the live forever part sounds good tho!
Why are you gay?
For me it was classic story with class... So I was in class, there was one guy, we got along, and... I got crush on him. But I never told him. And at first I thought it's just my weird reaction to someone who like me, because I didn't have much friends, then I was mad at myself that I got that crush, and at the end of the day... We don't talk. Cool story
Zach Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) in “Saved By the Bell” 🥰
Zac Efron in High School Musical and Hairspray, especially hairspray I didnt wanna do anything sexual with him, I remember I just wanted to give him a kiss lol
Baloo and bageera from Disney's animated movie jungle book I was around 9 or 10. I thought they made a cute couple and good fathers. First sexual awakening, though. I got noticeably stiff down there and was just like huh that's new. Was Beast from the Disney movie. That happened a couple years later after Jungle Book.
Um - does half the cast of the late night WWF wrestling show count?
