A Gay Teen Feeling Pressured to Have Sex

From Miles:

I'm 16, and out to my school. There are 5 gay guys in my school, including myself, and 2 lesbians. When ever I'm around my boyfriends - meaning the gay guys - they sometimes talk about what great sex they've all had and what awesome boyfriend they're with.

I on the other hand am single and have never had sex with a guy. They joke with me about being the baby, cause' I'm the youngest, and how innocent I am because I haven't had sex.

I've only been with 2 guys the past couple of years and I feel that I am left out and to "fit in" I have to have sex.

They pressure me about it and I do feel bad and like an outcast because I mean what gay guy wouldn't want to have sex? But then having to face public humiliation about it...

It bothers me quite a bit. I feel like I'm being pressured to have sex with the first person who offers it. I've been offered to do it orally but I said no, because it would be meaningless.
