My exposure to my fetishes did happen at a relatively young age, because overall story is probably relatively mundane. I remember finding my father's porn (magazines and VHS tapes he would rent) as my first experience with pornography. I was attracted to the scenes, photos, and stories of BDSM, spanking, and other kinks much more than just the typical photos of naked women. One picture of a male submissive tied to a wheel with one white domme and one black domme, both wearing black leather, in the frame is still particularly vivid for me. Other stories of explorations early on are probably better left for the Devotee forum, but I can say I experimented with my current proclivities very early on.
