I have never really questioned my sexuality. I have always been attracted to men, so when the first opportunity showed up, I was up to it. (The pun is just there...) All was good. I was going to school, had a demanding side job, and wanted a good career for myself, plus, yeah, I wanted quite a bit on the side, if you are catching my drift. Amidst all of that, no one seriously even considered questioning anything. Some ten years later, I started feeling attracted to girls, too. I started dating, having fun, and all. No one was getting hurt, all was done among consenting adults, so frankly, what was I supposed to question? Just as it suddenly came up, some 10 years later, my interest in girls fully disappeared. There was little for me to question. I was fine with my guys. All was good. We have been having a ball ever since. My point here being that there is very little you want to question here. If no one is really getting hurt, everyone is consenting, and the legal age of consent is being respected, go on and have fun. That's all. KD
Media had no impact in terms of it's development imo. But there may have been an impact in how I felt about it. Hard to say exact age, I noticed some things in late teens but never really understood it was anything permanent until about 19 or 20, when there was more urge for it.
