Someone please help me please

You can resolve the "thing you did in the past" by apologizing to the person you did it to. (I am just guessing - it would help if you can say what you did!)

Also this can be resolved by something called "Psychodrama". A counselor can help you reenact what happened, then play-act an outcome which will give you closure. You can tell someone something you have always wanted to say. Maybe say you are sorry - whatever. The other person does not need to be there.

Look for counseling in the phone directory. Your county health department may also offer counseling for low or no cost.

"Children" are NOT charged with sex crimes like an adult would be if he did that to a child. BIG difference!

Furthermore it is quite normal for kids to experiment and check out each other's parts. This is part of growing up and learning.

Note that there is no sexual interest as this was before puberty. Also note that high school boys will also experiment with each other - then go on to be totally straight - get married, etc. Perfectly normal. (Men do not talk about these things except sometimes on the internet.)

Anyway you have NOTHING to be concerned about. "Straight" means you are attracted to women. "Gay" means you are attracted to men. And it does not mean a whole lot these days anyway - your business what you prefer. And nothing wrong with what you did as a child - no one can "report" you for anything!

As for the "reporting" thing... Something which may help you... Grown straight men will sometimes go to a gay bar to meet another man to experiment with. And these men are SCARED to death that someone they know will be there, see them, and go tell everyone! Now let's think this through...

Wouldn't the other guy ALSO not want anyone to know he was there? So NO WAY is the other guy there going to say the person they knew was there - because people would ask what they were doing there too!!!

So same with your situation as a child. The other kid will never mention this to anyone because he was also participating! (Not to worry - forgetaboutit!)

Good points. This is clearly an example of children playing and really doesn't have any bearing on adult sexuality. The one way it could would be if you have thoughts in the present about sex or touching being wrong as a result that are getting in your way. If this continues to be a barrier for you, a qualified counselor should be able to help with that pretty easily.

Looks like you don't like them much...

Where did you get that out of what he wrote? I got that he got MORE than he bargained for in a good way. The thing young guys sometimes feel guilty about is their erection that they get when touching a girl for the first times. I don't see that he dislikes females at all.
