Notes -
When it comes to sexual orientation specifically, it manifested for me personally during early puberty, and attraction to specific girls came a few years after that. My older brother introduced me to nudie mags much earlier, mind, and they always had that "Adult" mystique about them that attracted me, much like candy cigarettes and sitting at a bar and ordering Shirley Temples, but when puberty hit, the appeal suddenly made sense to me on a whole new level. That said, I've also heard from some people that their orientation was obvious to them significantly before puberty, and I found these accounts to be perfectly believable. In fact, there are aspects of my own sexuality that I can trace back to early childhood things, FWTW, so to me this is one of those parts where we all have commonalities and differences in our own individual experience of life.
