Dear straight people,

this is something you NEED to know about us gays.

I know a lot of you don& #39;t understand why gay guys in their mid twenties seem to act VERY immaturely when it comes to partying, sex and all that stuff. But the reason is very simple -->
That weird period of time in your mid to late teens where you& #39;re experimenting with sleeping around, going out every weekend to the club and getting drunk and/or high with your buddies?

We didn& #39;t get it.

We didn& #39;t get it until we were comfortable with our personal identity.
By then, a lot of us were already several years in our young adulthoods with jobs and rent to pay. So yeah, I realize it might look WEIRD to you that you& #39;re already having babies and the gay kid who went to school with you is JUST starting with the dumb teenage crushes and excess
But that& #39;s how it is. You can& #39;t expect a closeted gay person to NOT EXPERIENCE typical teenage horniness and crushes and then arrive at 25 when they& #39;re finally being comfortable with being openly gay to act like someone (straight) who& #39;s had 10 years to figure it out by that point
We& #39;re literally the victims of delayed psychosocial development.

I mean, when I came out at around 21 and at that time, the most action I had gotten is a "date with Rosie Palms" if you know what I mean. It took about 2 more years before I had my first sexual experience.
So you can BET YOUR ASS that from that moment on, I was basically CRAVING more and more of that wonderful sex thing I had been deprived of for so many years. To the point where I was acting seriously irresponsible with whom and where I got it from.
I can only imagine how freaking brainless I must have appeared to most cishet people around me. But it took several years before I calmed down and realized I was now at a point where I was craving something more lasting and stable than the occasional quickie.
So yeah, Straight people, before you judge a gay girl or boy about how they seem to get attached to someone too easily or how much of a hoe they are, you might wanna try imagining what you& #39;d be doing if you had to wait almost a decade before you had your first taste of intimacy.
