A lot of adolescents go through a phase where they feel attracted to the opposite sex, but as they mature it just goes away and they realize that it wasn't for them

Well, I doubt a medical book that we use in nursing school is fiction, Jenny. And that's where I read it - in class, so I am pretty sure it was true. But like I said - I don't have to prove anything to you guys. I know what I read.

i would love to know the title of jamie's book. seriously, actually. because arguments can be made for experimentation. legitimate, interesting, edifying arguments could be made. and respected, if not finally accepted.
she does not have to post the citation, of course. the only reason she might want to is because it will help the credibility of her argument. so, not for us, but for her own rigour and satisfaction as a student.
she obviously has a lot to say. think about how dangerous she could be with a little finesse and credibility. we really should be thankful, actually.
Jenny,
I don't know the exact title of the book. It was a medical book in my advisors office...we had to write a paper about adolescent behavior and this book had some really great chapters about adolescent behaviors. I was looking in it for ideas for my paper and I read about it there. Next time I am at school I will go by my advisor's office and see if I can get the title...then I will let you know if you are really interested.
Between the ages of three and seven an explosion of sexual interest follows the hazy sensuality of infancy.[*4] Children not only actively experiment sexually but often seek physical intimacy that is manifested in hugging and kissing parents, relatives or other adults. Osborne’s notes also make it very clear that many young males during this period are introduced to more advanced sexual play by slightly older children in the context of those familiar games of ‘You show me yours and I’ll show you mine’ and ‘doctors and nurses’.
But often much more than these activities are involved. Young males often get involved in cuddling, handling, and occasionally, sucking each other’s sex organs, and attempts at intercourse — both anal and genital — of a homosexual and heterosexual nature take place. Indeed, homosexuality is a normal part of growing up for male children during this period and is often a preliminary step to hetero-sexual behaviour displayed by the majority of adult males.
It's not what I read, but it kind of says something similar. In this case, it is talking about boys. In the book I read, it speaks of both boys and girls. Anyway, just thought I would share.
