You are welcome Jock. A lot of people go through stages that confuse them where they wonder if something is wrong with them. When boys are young it's not unsual for them to shy and run from girls who tend to develop crushes on boys as girls mature faster than boys do. Then they also get to an age as I mentioned where they don't want mom to kiss and hug them and they don't quite understand why to that either. Boys can have a hard time when they begin to change hormonally and it can confuse them a lot. The peak tends to happen around 18 years old where sexual drive is very strong and truth is in most of nature in general all mammels and other living things do reach a stage where their body is ready to reproduce. That's what nature is all about, reproduction, something both males and females experience and can be confused by. There are most definitely unseen drives at play where "nature" takes over that can confuse on so many levels. Often these drives happen way before someone is mentally mature enough to understand what they are really experiencing. High school crushes, broken hearts, puppy love are all things experienced that cause confusion when hormones are building up in someone due to nature itself.
