I started really exploring my sexuality at like 18 or 19 because of how aggressive sheltered my upbringing was. We were banned from playing Sims for years because you could make women kiss.

So not everyone in fandom grew up in situation where they could explore their sexualities when they were younger. I projected myself onto a younger person because that's how I felt and the maturity level I was at.

Basically this.

Not only was I unreasonably sheltered as a kid, but I was raised in such a way that anything involving masturbation, sex, and even romance was bad, which caused me to feel supremely uncomfortable about all three for years. I was in my late thirties when I broke away from my family and started figuring all that shit out.

I feel like I missed out on so, so much. And that's why I love writing from the perspectives of teenagers/young adults sometimes. I never got to experience any of the stuff other people take for granted. So when I write from the perspective of a YA, I can put myself in their shoes for a bit and experience what I'd never been allowed to - the good, the bad, and everything in between.

I can't even tell you how much this (and not just writing, but reading, too) has helped me not only come to terms with my abusive upbringing, but also SAFELY figure out my sexuality, desires, kinks, fetishes, squicks, triggers, etc.

But I guess I'm just some big old pervert - oh, I mean pedophile - to fandom these days.
