In my much younger days, I visited several psychiatrists to try and answer that question. They each had their own theory and each one was different. 1) It was choice but I was to afraid to admit it. If I allowed myself to be seduced by a woman I would suddenly "discover" my heterosexuality. 2) It was down to my upbringing - the fact that my 3 brothers are married with kids and had the same upbringing sort of blew that one out of the water. 3) I was abused as a child and that abuse was so traumatic I couldn't remember it. Well, if it did happen, I still don't remember it. There were several variations on the above themes. The only psychiatrist with whom I really ever connected told me the following: Nobody knows why you are attracted to boys and anyone who tells you they do is lying. Don't waste your life looking for an answer that doesn't exist. So I haven't. Sorry it doesn't answer your question but that is my take on it. Muppet |
