If left to their own devices, most people start to discover their sexuality (different from sexual preference), right around the start of puberty. This is to say, they begin to think sexual thoughts and act on them.

Exactly when people come to discover their sexual preference is highly variable, and determined by so many things that it is difficult to come to a single, standard answer. Most people reach a firm conclusion as to their sexual preference by late adolescence or early adulthood. However, history provides many examples of people who did not discover their true sexual identity until well into adulthood.

Some people may publicly express one preference, while secretly feeling or supressing another due to their own, family or societal expectations. A great many things can influence a person's "sexuality" and thus, if a pre-teen or early adolescent appears to express "straightness" or "gayness", it should not be taken as absolute proof that person will end up being that way as an adult.
