In reply to the discussion: So, when did you know you were a heterosexual/homosexual? [View all]Oilwellian

in 1961, when I was six. I thought he was dreamy. LOL
However, I will say when I was twelve, 3 other girlfriends and I had what I would call a curiosity with each other's developing bodies. It always just involved looking, but since those days, I've always found women to be visually stimulating, yet never did respond in a physical way to that attraction. So maybe it's just that...a woman's nude body turns on men and women alike, or, I'm just a repressed Bisexual? LOL
Whatever the case may be, at this point in my life, I probably always will be hetero. I have a wonderful husband, great kids, and grandchildren that are my heart.
Thanks for asking an interesting question.

Kindergarten. I had the hots for a girl named Katie and I didn't even know what "the hots" were.

I was kind of a late bloomer (didn't think about sex/sexuality) much until the end of High School

I didn't know WHAT it was, but I knew I had it in spades at around the age of six or so.
