Such a good point. Years ago I had a friend and her cousin, several years our junior, was a very athletic girl and pretty boyish, but she liked boys so she wasn't homosexual or anything; just very athletic and not the most feminine girl. Well.... she never said anything to us (wonder why her mom never wondered though) but she never began menstruating. She later told us she'd heard so many horror stories about cramps and stuff and since she was such a jock, she liked not having a period. But she fell in love sometime around 25 or 26 years old and finally decided maybe she'd better check it out since she wanted to have children some day.
Well... it turned out she had some kind of growth on her pituitary gland. I don't recall what type. They removed it and she started having periods. Unreal.
You never know.
My body has had metabolism imbalances since I was 16. Due to possible damage created by Undiagnosed Diabetes!
I had unreal hormone imbalances that effected my cycles for years, not to forget huge amounts of rapid weight gain every other year.
Then when it finally took me to the hospital at spring of 05, right after a doctor finally diagnosed the imbalance in my system, she gave me a prescription for estrogen/hormone therapy. That weekend was in hospital, before I even had the prescription filled.
In the next four weeks, my appetite changed, and within 6 months I lost 45lbs, and had less fatigue and my diabetes numbers became more regualated! Not to mention some normalizations to my cycles.
Who knows.. maybe this young man has inherited a damaged hormone/ or weak gene from his fathers seed too!
Could be plenty of basic explanations, with solutions. Doesn't always have to be serving the "fantasy" this boy has alotted himself too!
His parents are his enemy right now, as far as I can see!
