Signs you may be sexually fluid

by Diamond Yao

Once considered static by Western sexual constructs, sexuality nowadays is known to be far more malleable and complicated. In recent times, sexual fluidity has become an increasingly more accepted and understood experience. Here are some signs that you may be sexually fluid:

1. You experience attractions to people who are not of the gender of the sexual orientation you identify with. 

2. You feel more attracted to one or many gender(s) for a while, then you are attracted to (an)other gender(s). You are attracted to different genders at different points in your life. 

3. You feel sexually attracted to one or many gender(s), but romantically attracted to (an)other gender(s). 

4. You develop an attraction to a close friend who is of a gender you normally are not normally attracted to. 

5. You only enjoy kissing and/or cuddling with people of one or many gender(s), but only enjoy having sex with people of (an)other gender(s). 

6. You have one type of sex with people of one or many gender(s), but have different types of sex with people of (an)other gender(s). 

7. None of these attractions are within your control. It is not possible to force your sexuality to be oriented a certain way intentionally.

All of these experiences are valid. You do not need to box yourself into a specific category forever. Sexuality is a beautiful thing that evolves throughout your life, so let it take you where it wants to and enjoy the ride!
