Saben got the fifth! I was kind of thinking we'd all play at numbers together!
And anyone who asks open ended questions can make a good psychologist. After all, who provides the therapy, the psychologist or the client? That wasn't the question! And I know there is a fair bit of other stuff involved.
At eight years old you seduced a man. You 'made it known you were interested'. This point with a child has often made me concerned. One of my son's school colleagues used always to catch my eye from around that age onwards and flirt outrageously, despite our never speaking a word. I have no idea if he is gay today, if he has had sex with a man, or if he was even interested in sex with a man. I just know that, in my view, he let it be known he was interested.
We know that kids like things that are fun. sexual feelings feel great. Kids like them. We know this from our own bodies. Climbing a rope in the school gym at seven years old I almost had an orgasm from the friction. I loved it. That wasn't sex. I looked seeing other boys naked. I'd have liked seeing girls naked too. I wasn't asexual, but I was unsexual, if you follow me. I had a solid expectation of heterosexuality, though I had no idea what it was. That only left me at 13.
Long preamble, and "enough about you, let's talk about me"! I wanted to set a context.
How did you know at eight that you were gay?
Was this knowledge before or after your experience with a man?
Since you were all but raped (you had wanted him to stop), has this coloured your sexual activities and self image in any way, then or since?
BTW "quote reply" lets you quote all or part of a reply and interleave or not your thoughts inside
