When it comes to YOUR sexuality and sexual tastes...

[Emiliano]

My theory is that my sexual orientation stems from my childhood. My father worked a lot and was away for whole weeks when I was 1-5. At 6 my parents got divorced. For no good reason I didn't like my stepdad.

I really liked the fathers in the Disney movies I watched. King Triton. The Sultan of Akrabar. Mufasa. The cute bear from the jungle book. The gummy bears.

At age 10, I think, an older man inappropriately approached me in the showers for the swimming hall. He just stood unnecessarily close to me and stared at me for a while. I was wearing my bathing shorts and my brothers were with me.

Now I have my own daddy husbear. With a beautiful white beard and cuddly belly.
It kinda adds up? I guess??

Just to be clear - you think your orientation, like you being gay, might stem from your experiences with your father and how you view other father figures?
Or did you mean its what might be behind just your attraction to older, fatherly figures?
