25 is young too

Was browsing a local gay forum, came across an interesting topic on the reason why lately there has been an exponentially increase in juvenile/young gays.

My take on that would probably be two:

1. Higher gay visibility in modern times thanks to the Internet, heck I had once added a guy on the messenger only to find out that he was actually 14! Nothing more irritating than chatting with a kid who only knows to reply with 'LOL'!! Of course, I blocked him straight after giving him some of my self-righteous lecture, "Please for the love of god/parents go back and concentrate on your studies!" No, I don't hate kids, I just don't fancy the idea of dating one :-/

2. Popularisation of gay culture in the media, gradually lowering the tabooness of the subject, indirectly encouraging the gay-inclined young populance to embrace their possible gay identity.

Never underestimate these upcoming generations though, for the possibility of them causing harm to you might actually be higher than you to them. They are armed with the knowledge from the biggest resource in the world (the Internet) but yet they do not have enough conscience nor sensibility to stop them from testing the knowledge they learnt in whatever ways they could, all in the name of satisfying their curiosities. We were all young once, and I'm sure we all know how powerful a motivation curiosity can be.

I'm all for early education for the young, but I believe there are some things that one can only really truly understand upon maturity, and one of those things is sexual orientation. Look up the profiles, you will find plenty of those who are still confused even when they are already halfway through their lifetime!

So to all those nice lads who are < 21 years old, upon reading until here (assuming you bothered to read in the first place), you should know that you'd probably have a better chance with other profiles :-)
