I don't remember where I learned the concept. It just made sense to me that some people would like one gender and some might like the other, and I just filed it away as another piece of trivia somewhere in my childhood. Bisexual, transgender/transexual, asexual, metrosexual, whatever-sexual didn't come into my vocabulary until much later, my parents managed to shelter me that much :)
And yes, the first vivid descriptions of sex acts were from novels that seemed pretty unassuming from the outside. I was a voracious reader, and there was no way my parents could have kept up with me even if they'd wanted to. Man, the novels you find at garage sales.. whew! Of course, I still have them all. I think they're still carefully stashed in my old room at my parent's house!
