Heterosexuality
Heterosexuality refers to the characteristic where people are attracted sexually to people of the opposite sex. The first time I realized that heterosexuality was the norm in society was when I was in my earlier stages of school. I remember very well I was about eight years old we were having lunch with the other pupils in our school. One of the girls who was bigger than the rest of us asked us to confess which boy we loved in class. It was interesting that all the girls were attracted to a different boy in class, and others were their desk mates. A certain boy in class also kept coming where I was, and he liked spending time with me. I also recall one time my neighbor, who was a boy coming to request me to join him play a game. This went on for a long time, even from other of my boy neighbors and church mates. I don’t deny the fact that I was also enjoying their company and even went to call them during weekends so that we can play.
Realizing that heterosexuality was normal, it felt encouraging and amazing to me. This is because I had witnessed criticizing these attractions from my parents, teachers, and society at large. The draw was portrayed as something that is not right and sort of a taboo. We had also received warning against associating with the opposite sex from our Sunday school teachers to the extent we thought that the opposite sex was harmful. The realization hence made me feel that there was nothing wrong with being attracted to the other sex. I even began understanding why the majority of couples in society are men and women. It all started from the normal attraction and reached the point where the two realized they can stay together and make a family
