I have thought about it for long and I can not come to a conclusion. I would love to hear everyone's opinions.

Firstly, don't worry about it too much. /u/OceanDwellingJelly recently posted "So What?" and I think it's sometimes a good way to remind yourself to stop chasing the origins of something, and just enjoy where you are.

That said, if you're trying to put a broad shape on the story, I personally don't believe that sexuality is static. We all develop our tastes as we live, and our relationship to our body also changes. And as that changes, so can our sexuality.

Sometimes it's just a stray thing that can lead us down a path we never thought would happen. I still remember my first "Good Pain" moment, when I was 9 - I was at a piano lesson, and my teacher made me stretch my pinky further down the keys can I could manage on my own. Did that make me the minor pain-slut I am today? Probably not, but it was the first step of many that I took.

Did hypnos make you that way? Probably not, at least not in the hypnotic sense. But it may have opened your eyes to the possibility that people might enjoy this, or that you might enjoy it. And having that possibility open up might incline you to explore it.

I just see it as a byproduct of growth. You can't always control it, it just takes you where it takes you, and while you can steer it to some degree, you can't predict it. You may not have intended to end up here, but here you are.

The only thing I can say is, if you try to ignore it, it'll probably just jump up and down and stamp its feet and demand attention until you let it express itself. And it may not even be a lifetime thing, you might just need some time with it before you hang up your garters and say, "Well, that was fun" and find something else. Or it could be something that you enjoy for a long while.

But, it doesn't always matter how you got there. Because if you spend too long thinking about your Root (stolen from "But I'm a Cheerleader" - which is well worth a watch), you don't get to focus on what you can do now or in the future.
