I'm not sure how poor relationship with peers during our teens would cause us to be attracted to children or teens when we're adults. In my case, I had very good relationships with peers in middle school and high school. I had a good group of friends that I did a lot of things with. We speculate on all kinds of causes of BL. Another theory I've heard is that it is due to poor a relationship with our fathers. Other theories include: domineering father; a weak mother; abusive parents or other people; childhood sexual activity; the lack of childhood sexual activity, etc. The same theories were proposed for homosexuality, but now almost all psychologists reject them. No evidence has ever supported any of them for homosexuality or BL. In fact, I know people who had great childhoods and turned out to be BLers, and others who had terrible childhoods and are perfectly straight. Mark |
