So you sat yourself down and said "I prefer to be heterosexual rather than homosexual" at 8 years old?

I don't think so. Most 8 year olds do not have mental faculties required to understand the vast realities of sexual types, psychosexual attitues, behaviour and socioeconomic impact. More realistically you just began to realize that you were attracted to the opposite gender at that age. Becoming aware of an emerging truth about your innate personality and behaviour is not that same as making a conscious choice.
