MAP Forum

How common is it for people to to come to the realization that they are a map later in life?

A lot of people say they discovered it when they were 14-16 but what about those who discovered it when they were in their 20s or older?

I'm curious how did you deal with the fact that you are attracted to minors when you first came to that realization?

Also did any of you start out as antis and then eventually accept that you too are a map?

I have always like BOYS. My first BOY crush was when I was 10. I knew early I was gay. But I grew up in A area you kept it to your self. As I got into my 20's I really stated to get interested in young BOYS. I never wondered why. And I am and always been so good with it.

I’m quite unique in that I never actually hated the fact that I was MAP. I think accepting myself as gay included accepting myself as a BL simultaneously.

Same here. However, you are currently married to a woman. I fond that confusing.

That's also when I discovered I liked the ages 3-6 in more than a platonic way....those ages will forever be special to me.

I feel the same way. That is A wonderful age group.
