I'm not sure where you're going with this

If you are as open to the fact that your perceptions of your attraction are as likely to be as distorted as mine then that is OK. Most people here do not see the possibility that their thinking or feelings are in error. Yourself? are you open to this possibility?

Of course I am open to the possibility that my perceptions of my attractions may be distorted, but I don't understand where you are going with this. I was not suggesting that your perception was distorted - certainly not in this thread, anyway.

The point that I was bringing up, that I had hoped you would address, is how you would feel about your same-aged attractions in a world like Orwell's 1984 where such same-aged hetero relationships are considered destructive and are forbidden. I was hoping you would contemplate this scenario, not to bring doubt to your perceptions of your situation, but to walk a mile in your fellow man's moccasins.
