My first queer experience - my first sexual experience of any kind, other than solo - was with a friend while we were in high school.

I had been curious about sex with other guys for some time, but was not sure how to go about trying it. One day, while raiding my older brother's porn collection for jerk off fodder, I ran across a letter in a magazine about two friends who ended up trading oral sex with each other. That gave me the idea, The next time my best friend was over with no parents around, I suggested we check out big bro's porn and made sure he saw the same letter.

What followed was a long period of hinting around about things. This was way back in the stone ages, when any hint of being gay or bi to the wrong person could result in a serious ass-kicking. Eventually, he broke through the shyness barrier when we were playing around with a Ouija board. He made sure it told me that I should suck him off. So I tried it.

The experience itself was...anticlimactic. Neither of us had any real idea about how to do this. I basically put his penis in my mouth and sat there with it, not moving much or applying any suction. After a while, he went down on me in the same way. Since neither of us was getting anywhere, we finished outselves off by masturbating.

Still, it was exciting for both of us. Enough so that we did it again, and got better at it with practice. We were blowjob buddies throughout the rest of high school.
