Not long at all- for the last two --much longer for the first. Are you trying to get me to see some light here?

Question 1: No definitive answer. Did they come from one of the rare cultures where incest is not taboo? If so, then the time period is irrelevant. If not, what is the state of the mother's social conditioning? Strong enough to never allow it? Too many unsolved variables to consider the question could ever have an answer. Questions 2 and 3: a definitive answer exists&#151sort of. Some sit on the side of the fence where homosexuality is a product of environmental conditioning. Others sit on the genetic side. Everybody, then, can find an answer. After finding it, however, they may ask themselves, "What was the goal of the question?" To connect pedophilia and homosexuality? It is not so connective. Around 12, hormones are raging, raging, raging. Many cases exist where kids "play doctor" sometimes with the opposite sex but sometimes not -- sorting out their hormonal confusion, perhaps? Yet, as they mature, grow, and find themselves, the participants may never again engage in an act with children, or in another same-sex act. They may even find the two acts repulsive, and acknowledge with delight that they are not the same person they were at 12. Same goes for kids who have &#133err, dabbled with the family dog (disgusting as that may sound). Years after, upon reaching an understanding of their sexual selves, they won't even recognize the person who did said act so many years ago. They go on to have "normal", conventionally accepted sex lives. On this, I'm not guessing. Seen the cases, know some of the people, too. -MrB
