How does a 7 year old understand that?

I understand a middle schooler coming to that conclusion. They've hit puberty and are developing a sex drive so of course they can understand sexual attraction, but a 7 year old? That's probably some adult imprinting their ideas on a kid who once said "I wanna marry my best friend Robby!" without understanding what that even entails. Hell, even if it was a boy saying that about a girl at that age neither really understand that beyond innocently playing house.

But for OP, it's set at a yet indeterminate period and surfaces at puberty alongside the sex drive.

Not Veeky Forums.

Well oral phase sexual response pretty much happens as consciousness is in boot phase. Humans are sexual from the start.

Children display unique sexual behaviour, unique to the child, in oral, anal, genital, latent, and adolescent phases. Stop conflating adolescent/adult sexual response with human sexuality.

Child sexuality isn't coital, and is focused on entirely different things, like pulling hair, snapping bras or marrying your best friend Robby.

But "gay" in the context of OP's pic is something with connotations that are clear to an adult. Not so much to a child. A kid might say "I'm gay" because he "loves his best friend" but probably doesn't think of "love" as in erotic romance like an adult would in this context, but more like "I love Mommy/Daddy/my baby sister." So when he hears about two men who love eachother being gay while having straight parents, he would initially compare it to two close friends, not husband and wife.

Depends on socialisation. Some people feel very strong homoerotic impulses, clearly, as young as the start of the latent stage. I guess they wanted to pull girl's hair, or tease boys about someone I know likes you.

Neuroscience fag here.

"Sexuality" begins at fertilization, as in XX or XY. If a Y chromosome is present all sorts of female genes are "turned off" by Y chromosome gene cascades. When you think of "psychosexuality" or gender studies, whatever, that's mainly hormonal. Hormonal effects can be environmental (ie; what kind of hormones in the mother's body is the fetus exposed to) or genetic (there are several "gay diseases", genetic abnormalities where homosexuality is highly associated).

Basically it begins at fertilization and then is controlled almost entirely through genetics with a tiny bit of environmental and cultural input.

Also this a neither a history nor a humanity. I clicked on this board by accident and already you're trying to talk about things that are outside of your scope of expertise. Fucking disgusting humanities majors.

There's a few bio fags here.

>genetic abnormalities

What do you think of the correlation between 'gay genes' and greater fecundity in female relatives?

You wanna post the research so I can tell you?

Let's see how gay he is when i put my dick in his tight ass

Psychosexuality isn't hormonal, it is to do with the inapproachable nature of objet petit a.

That's reaching, even for the usual offtopic Veeky Forums.

fill me up user

Higher levels of circulating androgens in the mother is the answer that jumps out at me for the link. Women with higher levels of androgens display those behaviors (divorce, low desire for kids, actually having a shit ton of kids) and prenatal exposure to androgens has been implicated in homosexuality before.

That's my assumption. It doesn't mean shit because the study itself was shit.
>It was a survey study
>in a journal with only one editor who doesn't have a PhD
>n=160

I thought is seemed interesting from an evolutionary perspective as a potential explanation of how the genes persisted.

>psychoanalysis
>science

No. We're talking about something that could theoretically be explained at the molecular level. Science cannot be explained, per fact, in metaphysical terms. It is or it isn't.

Yeah it would make sense.

In psychology, it's not until 19 years of age iirc.

Not Veeky Forums get this shit off my board.

>seven years a fag

Sounds like a groovy movie idea

>wild normative and epistemic claims
Wrong board. You want

dunno mate he looks sorta homosexual

degenerate shit. Be proud my kid is confidently gay AT THE AGE OF SEVEN. Parents should be hit in the face

usually around 9 or 10.

It kind of is, 2bh (2bh).

This board has a lot to do with the HYOOMIN NAYCTHUR xDDDDD.

All meeming aside, I believe there is no quantifiable measurement in when human sexuality begins to emerge in children. It's kind of like a color wheel, or a gradient slider; not something that can simply be standardized by some Board of Sexucation.

If anything, my answer would be that it starts the moment we receive our first instincts to human life. From 1 to 100, we are sexual creatures, through and through, fin and fin.

I remember being in preschool and being mesmerized when I was looking up a girl's skirt. I remember rubbing my genitals on my pillows and blankets when I was about 2 years old.

Sexuality does not "set in", it simply matures into something that can be more easily articulated or expressed.

his parents are still the ones that dress him, they think he's gay so they make him look gay

My parents had a sit down conversation when I was two. My dad was like "user is gay, the sooner we accept it the sooner they will have an easier life."

Being extremely effeminate and openly talking about being a mother/having babies/talking about when I start looking at my mom made it painfully obvious.

Thank god I have 4 older brothers, they may not have been okay if the family name rested on me.

Funny enough though my dad was cool with me being a fag but being a tranny is still a decade after coming out hard for him.

There are others though that don't realize they are gay or trans for decades, ots align to me desu but everyone has a different trajectory. I believe some people are born to be like this early, socially it serves a purpose to relieve a pressure valve of sorts when our ancestors practiced polygyny leaving young men partnerless but it can be inherited once one's status and obligation as an adult man marries a woman and reproduces.

>How does a 7 year old understand that?
He probably said that because it made his mom proud and doesn't really understand what it means.

Some people just look gay user. I grew up with a kid and although we went to private school and had to wear uniforms, he still had the gay about him and guess what? He's gay.
