As a kid, well before I had any sexual feelings, I had ... 'pre-sexual' feelings? Things made me feel funny, and I was oddly fascinated with stuff I realize in hindsight was actually sexual. But as a kid, it wasn't sexual exactly. What was it? Is there a word for pre-sexual?

Yeah, zero genital response here too. Definitely get that you want vocabulary to define each separately. Put it this way: I'll bet that primordial part of us is the part that gay, bi, or str8, etc., and the hormones throw gasoline on the fire.

Agree to an extent with y'all. I theorize that, as kids, we subliminally pick up the social cues in regards to sexualization without fully empathizing due to underlying biology. As such, kid's curiosity makes them want to engage with it, but it's limited.

This is interesting to me, cuz my experience was the inverse; discovered early on that “if you play with it, it feels good,” but it was totally disconnected (consciously, anyway) from external stimulus until sometime in early puberty

Totally agree. My crushes on opposite sex started long before puberty. Definite attraction to feminity. Not physical at all. On a deeper level. Metaphysical or spiritual.

Presexual?

I feel like fetish and kink develop in people at a very early age and I know mine personally did. My interest in it was completely non-sexual at the time because I had no way of knowing better, and even now that I know better, I still enjoy my fetish non-sexually sometimes
