Believe it or not - you probably have been oogled by a male homosexual
and never even knew it.  Further, if you are even suspected of being
hetero the chances are slim that he will attempt to contact, talk or
in any way deal with you on any other that a very shallow layer.
Most homosexuals realize that their position and lifestyle are open to
critique and minimum and violent opposition at worst from their fellow
human beings - they have learned to be careful when out of their
"element".
As far as other "deviant" sexual practices.  Women are sexually mature
at various ages between 10 and 15 years of age.  I personally know of
a lady that actively *encourages* her 14 year old daughter to have
boyfriends stay over and share her bed.  She is a very "normal" 14
year old in every way and I can't say that early sexual experience has
hurt her one bit.  Her Mom's rational: I would rather have her under
the roof of a safe house than groping around who the hell knows where
and I would rather have her know about and USE contraceptives than have
a surprise for me someday".
I also knew of a man and his wife that had the same attitude in Calif-
ornia.  His daughter climbed into bed with my roomate and he almost
had a cow "You're only 13!" he hissed!  She left and came back with
her sleepy dad who said " Be picky Mark - but please don't be a prude!".
He was concerned about his daughter feeling rejected and rather approved
of her propensity to take older lovers rather than "rash youths" as he
phrased it.
Now - what narrow little way are YOU going to prescribe as "normal"?
Should a lot of Japanese and Hindu writings and art be burned as 
pornographic because it deals with sex in many forms between consenting
adults?
