For most of my life I never even considered being sexual with a boy. It was so foreign to my upbringing and what I knew was appropriate, it never even crossed my mind Social Construct. Boys who are NEVER told that sexuality is either right or wrong WILL express it as a natural extension of their behavior. It's a damnable societal construct that casts such a guilt-ridden auora about the whole topic. Until I was 16 and actually TOLD to be paranoid about my desires, I never considered them unusual. I even told some boys I knew (age 13-15) and they didn't think too much of it either because they were never taught to associate something like that with 'guilt'. It is only after having become a Christian that I have strong feelings against it. Again, empathically, WHY? Where does your religion dictate anything about the appropriate age at which to love someone? I'm curious if that's a decision based on your faith and personal interpretation of your religion or whether it's a construct of the 'religious context' (church affiliation in some cases) that you have placed yourself into. Honest questions. Trying not to judge- just learn. Wolfie |
