Trying to bring the thread back to the original topic:
Is it possible for a 13 year old girl to have a definite sexual orientation?
I'm having trouble grappling with this term sexual orientation- what is the definition?
As far as I can see, from the earlier posts, current sexual practice is not necessarily indicative of sexual orientation. In fact, it does not seem necessary to have had sex at all, and yet have a definite sexual orientation. It seems that the critical point is some form of attraction to another person. I am dissatisfied with basing such an important concept on such a nebulous entity, and hopefully some of the other folks here can improve on this definition.
If this is the only definition, then I am forced to conclude that it is entirely possible for a 13 year old girl to have a definite sexual orientation.
