We weren't sure what it was, but we knew we felt something.

Everyone in the LGBTQ+ community goes through a sexual awakening, and there's usually someone (or a few someone's) who act as a catalyst for them finding their identity.

Here are 20 men who contributed to our gay sexual awakening.

David Hasselhoff

This daddy could have pulled us out of the water anytime.

Will Smith

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air himself had all the swag we could have ever needed and then a little more to go on top of it.

George Clooney

It doesn't matter what age George Clooney is, he has always and will always be a delicious treat for our eyes and someone we'll always wish we had.

Tyrese

Another man who ages so gracefully is Tyrese Gibson, known mononymously as Tyrese. Whether he's acting, rapping, or modeling, we'll take whatever we can get from him.

So many of us grew up with him, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Gaston

Disney

He's arrogant and misogynistic with arms we'll never forget and a jawline we won't, either.

Lance Bass

He had the charm, the grin, and the deep voice, and we all knew what was going on behind the scenes before he came out.

That cute boy in gym class

He may have caught you peeking, but can he blame you?

Matt LeBlanc

How you doin? We all wanted him to be more than just a "friend."

David Beckham

From soccer player to model, he is ageless and beautiful.

Ricky Martin

You know you had "Livin' La Vida Loca" on repeat.

Nick Jonas

This one you might have been a little too embarrassed to admit that you loved him and his brothers.

Taye Diggs

He is the epitome of perfection.

Aaron Carter

RIP to this casual boy next door who stole our hearts.

Backstreet Boys

You wanted it that way, and they still light your fire.

Aladdin

Disney

He showed us a whole new world.

The varsity football team

This is when you discovered the power of the male butt.

Calvin Klein

Or, to be more specific, their models.

Freddie Prinze Jr.

There's just something so classicly perfect about him.

Nick Jonas (Again)

Just to honor when he went off solo by himself.
