Honestly yes. They have access to not just more information due to the tech we have now but a lot of different sources. Problem is they have the information but the understanding is not there and its not easy for them to talk to anyone about it. Its more easy for someone who trys to help them to be labeled as something just for trying to help then it is for them to contact someone privately and ask.

Likely, since they have more access to sexuality resources online, versus those of us that are older, that had limited opportunities while in our 20s.

I was at an even earlier stage of development but not exposed to blatant sexuality (or avoided it). I was aware that some of the boys at my school were involved with someone older and used to meet at his house.

It was only when I joined the boy scouts that it was possible to gradually develop a relationship with my best friends. That was from about the age of 11 onwards and it reached mutual masturbation at around the age of 13.

I grew up at the same time you did. I didn't even think about sex until my cousin asked if I wanted to see his dick. He was a few years older then I was. I of course said yes and that was the beginning of my sexual journey. Of course then playboy barely showed a tit. I am sure that if I would of had access to the internet back then I would have fucked everything I could. Then again in the one horse town I am from everyone would've known about it.
