Best Answer

A young boy ingenue is someone who is typically preteen to sixteen or seventeen years old. He is slightly immature for his age and doesn't know or understand why he is ridiculed for not being more masculine. He is curious, and fun loving. A bit of A Peter Pan type. He may also be sexually overt yet still innocent. He may exhibit sensuality without really knowing it.

A boy ingenue may have a feminine face and physique. He may exhibit feminine characteristics, behaviors and interests. Often confusing some about what gender he actually is. Male ingenues typically do not have a close associations with other males their own age, for they do not fit in with their peers.

He may be more inclined to have older male or female acquaintances, as surrogate big brothers or sisters.

Normally, a male ingenue is not a gay male. However, they can become targets by some gay people, who misread them as gay.

The ingenue boy, may take much longer to mature than would be normal for his age group. They may never be atypical males.
