You know I have on occasion thought of something like that. Thing is I don't have any sexual trauma or anything like that. So idk.

I definitely started having mental health issues around puberty...but I mean it's common enough for most pre/teens to experience mental turmoil during that time. So you'd think it wouldn't preclude developing sexually.

I'm just beginning therapy now for some unrelated, more severe issues, but maybe I will eventually bring that up if I can sort out the more pressing things first.

There can be any number of pathologies involved like hormone levels etc. It doesn't necessarily have to do anything with trauma. But it's good that you are talking to a professional now, maybe once other things are sorted you could be free to look into this as well, best of luck
