Of course you can take a wider look and I think I have done that in some of the comments I have made. All I am saying is that I can see parts of my adult life in childhood experiences. I'm not saying they started there, I'm merely saying that an argument could be made that I had some of these interests at an early age. Is it steadfast? Of course not - many life experiences (both of ourselves and our parents) make up who we are and to ascribe a single thing as a root cause to who we are today would be folly. But it is still interesting to observe retrospectively how we grew into the people we are today.
It's not a reason for anything I am looking for - merely a thought that occurred to me whilst lying in bed last week. Is there a connection between the events I have described in childhood and my kinks today? Possibly. But I am not looking that deeply into it. I'm just saying that the groundwork for who I am as an adult was laid at an early age. Does it really matter? No. But it's nice to have an appreciation of who we are and where we come from.
I don't believe that anything is just how it is - everything has a cause and a reason for existence. I think searching for that cause, in whichever way, is something that humans have striven for for centuries. Nowadays, we use science or religion to explain such things. I don't see why there is an issue in ascribing a cause to the people we are today.
Hmm, may have a look at the Furvey. It sounds interesting in a morbidly fascinating kind of way.
