In order to truly be a "heterosexual" or a "homosexual", doesn't it require that you've actually had sex at some time in your life?

And, if so, what would be the correct way to identify the vast majority of 15 year olds: "monosexuals" or "autosexuals"?

What makes you think that "the vast majority of 15 year olds" haven't had sex?

("No-Sexuals" is a good one, 'Sumer -- LOL!)

I bet dollars to donuts the last 3 posts were from that little coward called manny. Capnfun and UB are more considerate and are not potty mouths. The tone of those post has yellow painted all over them.

No, it does not require that you've actually had sex in your life yet. Many homosexuals report they felt their orientation while still in the lower grades of school...most 12-14 year olds already know full well where their orientation lies.

When I was 15 I had a very definate idea about what I wanted to be doing. Constantly. With every girl I saw.

By age 15, I'd guess that evey human knows where they stand sexually, even if they're virgins.

In the case of heterosexuals, I agree, Bemused. It's easy t be yourself when acceptance is everywhere.

I know in my brother's case he did not accept his homosexuality until he was about 19 years old. The stigma attached to it in the late 1960's and early 1970's, the move from hush-hush handling of the issue by society in general towards silent, grudging acceptance; the vocal "Archie Bunker types" with their often faith-based denunciations; and sometimes brutal local law enforcement mixed together created a real inner battle for him.

I think each decade shows some measure of progress in this area. Let's hope it continues.

I didn't think so Bob,as you obviously were being targeted yesterday and isn't your usual tact.
