@DogsneedpIeasuretoo Look, Dog, it sounds like you never had the crushes I had or that many, *many* people had as children. I didn't simply want to be like the girl, nor was it about personal admiration - as I said, I was *intensely attracted* to her. I wanted to be alone with her and hold her and kiss her. There are degrees of 'crush', and one of those common degrees is physical and romantic desire. You say you're not straight, well do you want to kiss females? Do you..

@DogsneedpIeasuretoo Don't agree with you at all there. I'm bi, but let's pretend I'm straight for a moment because I'm one confusing sumbitch who was seemingly straight until quite recently. I had an intense crush on a girl (as in I was as in love as a child can be) from the age of 8 through to 11 when I left primarily school. I wanted to kiss her, I was *incredibly* attracted to her etc. - I NEVER felt that for any boys, never wanted to kiss them or thought they were..

..attractive. It's not just affection, it's attraction. Attraction doesn't have to be about wanting to "fuck" someone to know that you're attracted to them. The strong sexual urges will follow later, but they *develop* out of less sexual or non sexual attraction and physical desire.

..find them amazingly attractive and want to gaze at them for hours drunk on infatuation? Do you want to be alone with them in a romantic setting? No, because you're not straight. It's not just sexuality that indicates which sex you're into.

@DogsneedpIeasuretoo What are you definind as a "crush"? Crush for superheroes? You mean young boys thinking Superman is insanely hot and wanting to make out with him? Because that's what many/most children experience with childhood attractions. No, we have those attractions and physical desires and then when puberty hits they *develop* into sexual desires. Not that sexual desires are never present before puberty, that's not rare either.

@Xone234 Normal doesn't exist, we adapt ourselves to fit into the ideas of normality. Ever heard the phrase "I don't want to seem weird" or "people will think I'm a weirdo"? We deliberately compromise on our unique nature to conform to the norms that we learn we must comply with if we don't want to be ostracised. We're all complex combinations, we just choose to focus on the overlaps/shared traits that present the illusion of singularity. Normal=good Unusual=bad is for simple minds
