Crushes, Blushes, and Trusses

Rrhain writes:

From what I have heard and read (and my own personal reflections), it isn't like the kids are having pornographic fantasies. It's that they look back and realize that they behaved differently around one sex compared to the other and that they liked being around one sex better than the other and that those pleasureable feelings developed and matured into what we see in adult sexuality. Some kids know that they had this reaction of liking one sex better than the other early on. Look at the archetypical schoolgirl crush that many nine- and ten-year-olds have. It isn't like they're having thoughts of doing the nasty. It's that they are feeling something and it is being expressed in childlike ways.

This explains a lot......

Re: A Second-grader's Dream

Im not sure that "being attracted to someone" is the same as wanting to have sex with them.

For The Record

My god, it's been going on for years and folks are still trying to get some mileage out of the "Let's accuse him of being gay!" schtick as if I'm somehow going to decompensate and start wailing like a child over the fact that some online schmoe I don't know from Adam is a homophobic jerk.

Everyone who has been at this forum for a number of years knew, or at least suspected that you were gay, Rrhain. It really was no big deal, and I never meant to insult you about it or push that button. My comment was meant to be mildly humorous, in response to your asking me if I had something to tell everyone. I had and have no intention of teasing or snickering about anyone...in my circle of friends, being gay is no more of a big deal than being bald...or blond..or black. I have always respected your intellect, and was making an artistic reference to the fact that you are a sometimes actor. (Hence the script reference) People are born gay...but my initial comment directed at Crashfrog was Im not sure that "being attracted to someone" is the same as wanting to have sex with them. I'm attracted to people of both genders and am not trying to have sex with them...at least not consciously.
