    But people don’t experience attraction before puberty, right? How do they know what groups of people they’ll grow up to be attracted to?

    Well, we all have crushes when we were kids, don’t you agree?

    Edit: sorry if I sound like I am trying to put words into your mouth. What I mean is that some people already figure out what their sexuality is and whom they feel attracted to at early age. To whom you feel crush to at early age is an indicator.

      we have not all had crushes as kids, no. there was a very definite point where the flip in my brain switched and i started considering the concept at all, and that point was around the time of puberty.

      Until then i was utterly confounded by all the other kids who insisted they were dating each other, especially since they barely even spent any time together lmao.
