Ok so I've been thinking back and I didn't realize female sexuality existed until I was around 13.

I think I'm less into sex than most (I don't even masturbate) and I'm only interested in women, so I was probably projecting my lack of interest in men onto other women. I also knew nothing about female genitalia.

This is my timeline/experience:

• I have been interested in women physically since I was little, acting out romances with a Barbie and later looking up naked women online. I was always absolutely disgusted by male genitalia and uninterested in male bodies but still expected to end up with a man. I thought men were the sexual beings and women just put up with it.
• The first time I heard "lesbian" was when someone called my friends that and they got really upset and went to the school admin. I looked up what it meant and didn't understand. Women can't be sexual with each other, only penises are sexual? Like what could they be sexual with?
• I found middle school sex ed so gross and the only part I paid attention to was the segment about abstinence. I thought that's how I would get out of sex with a guy, telling him "I'm waiting until marriage" up until we got married, then just saying I didn't want to. I think I realized some girls were interested in having sex.
• I didn't know women could masturbate until around 13, when I found out because of a Buzzfeed video. People started being more open about sexuality at school too, some girls said they watched porn.

When did you know that women were sexually motivated (towards men, women or themselves?) Did you have to learn to it?
