StraightNews Causes of Same-Sex Attraction
Many gay and bi men had at least some of these experiences growing up:
As explained by many experienced therapists, here is a typical, "normal" development pattern for heterosexual males: About the first four years are in their mother's tender, warm care. It is natural to distance themsleves from this and begin establishing a more masculine identity, starting about the age of four. A stronger relationship with father or other older male mentor and is then sought. They like to pretend being construction workers, soldiers, cowboys, train engineers, etc. They play almost exclusively with other boys their age and often "hate" girls their age. A stong interst in watching and playing sports develops. At about 12 years, it becomes natural to desire what is missing. Ironically, the veyr males who hated little girls and lived in a hyper-masculine identity, miss the warmth, softness, emotional warmth and femininity of girls. this becomes sexualized during puberty.
