In my teens, I use to go visit a site called 321gayteenchat.com - it was time communicating with other gay folks. There were actual teenagers such as myself on there looking to communicate. Most of our conversations, either in a large chat or in a private massage,  were about sex, love, and checking in on each other. I did keep a long-term friendship with two guys who I eventually thought were grown ass men due to suspicious activity. Thinking of it now, I wish I had asked them about it. Luckily, all of that was harmless. 

The avatars you see below were the only frame of reference to know what the other person might look like. My frame of reference for what specifically Latino guys looked like in my life. There were boys in my middle school who looked like this.
