Straight people of Reddit, when and how did you realize that you like the opposite sex?

So there's me, an 11 year old boy playing Mass Effect 2, took me a while to notice that every time that Tali or Miranda came on the screen I had a boner.

At the time, I wasn't sure what an erection was a sign of, I always assumed it was a thing that kinda just happened without context. Thankfully, I was bright enough to able to work out the whole birds and the bees thing on my own.

Unfortunately, one day my mother came into the room and saw me oogling Tali's thighs 'n tiddies. I'm pretty sure she saw the boner too. Long story short, Mass Effect 2 "disappeared" from the game shelf, until it magically reappeared again 2 years later. Thanks dad, you're the greatest pimp that ever lived.
