I was watching the fuzzy scratched out playboy channel at 12 years old. lol
I didnt really act on it in high school (except for a few occasions).. but I grew up in the kind of town where it made me uncomfortable about it. college its easy and people dont care.. especially with women. Cant comment on gay men but I think it would be much more difficult.
Never had any problems in college... one girl told me she thought lesbians were disgusting & she couldnt imagine making out with a girl.... but then she ended up giving me some later on that same night & she STILL emails me. LOL
Only have had problems with family, not with friends / peers / other adults. So one night I was really drunk, and very vulgarly told my parents how I felt about them having an issue (basically told them to STFU and accept it or not have a close relationship with their only daughter... I guess they love me so they have STFU since then).
So it hasnt been difficult for me. Though I respect others opinions and never talk about it at work (for all they know I love me some penis) and I feel out a new friend before I talk about any of that stuff. Sometimes its not anyones business, and I sure dont feel like my sexuality defines my personality.. just a small factor.
