I remember playing Omega Ruby shortly after it came out and being vaguely aroused by the male Tubers (pictured here). It came out in 2014, so I would have been at least starting puberty by then, and I was definitely old enough that my attraction to him would have been seen as aberrant. My sex education was surprisingly comprehensive for a Mormon, as I was told about the mechanics of PIV sex, but I didn’t fully made the connection that my arousal for the Tuber was sexual in nature. (My hydrophilia was also involved somehow, so that probably confused things.) To be fair, I wasn’t having fantasies about sticking my dick in him or anything, it was, again, just vague feelings of arousal. I don’t think I even started having overtly sexual fantasies until my later years of high school. (Which I chalk up to a combination of being autistic and acespec and classic Mormon sexual repression.)
aka sexual abuse. did they make you answer sexually explicit questions at a worthiness interview?
I actually wasn’t really asked sexually explicit questions, at least not that I can remember. Which I chalk up to a combination of being a “boy” (my understanding is that girls are generally asked much more invasive questions) being in good standing with the bishopric (my dad was the second councilor for some time which probably helped), and generally being more or less a model Mormon youth (at least externally). It wasn’t until I was 17 or 18 that I started to rebel, and even then I was pretty quiet about it for the most part.
