May I add a twist?  Before puberty, it was never an issue.  Male friends and relatives were jealous that I had so many girl friends. They really didn't understand the kind of relationship I had.  At puberty it became a problem.  From the ages of 14 to 24 or so, I would have given anything for it to go away.  "Give me 2 of those pills just to make sure it takes!"  Finally, around the mid-twenties, I realized what a gift it was.  I see the world in a very different way from the vast majority of people because of it.  It is still a pain, but finding an accepting lover, a job, having a couple of shekels in the bank, allowed me to integrate it into my character, soul, and public personae.  You would have to hold me down and force me to do it now.
