On fluidity

After certain life experiences I have founf myself thinking about fluidity in sexual orientation. Allways thought it was a sset and fixed thing but I am now convinced it is not.

I'm somehow facing disapproval by people regardless of sexual orientation. Very few people believed it's possible to change sexual orientation with age.

I'll gladly listen to any opinion :)

I think sexuality, various aspects of attraction and connection, etc, are way more complex than people often think. I guess because labels oversimplify things for many of us? For some people they might be a certain sexuality and never deviate from that at all for their entire life. For others they might discover later in life that they're attracted to someone they've never been attracted to before, and that might even make them discover that they're attracted to a gender they didn't used to be attracted to. It's interesting how wildly different our experiences can be, but it's all valid and unique to us. I'm sorry you've been facing disapproval; even if people don't understand it, they should give you respect.

Thank you for your comment Jason. This is exactly how I view it nowadays. :)


I'm inclined to believe that everyone's sexuality changes throughout their life, which may or may not involve a change in their sexual orientation.

I see that, as humans, we need to classify things into delimited categories to understand the world and how it's easier have fixed and set things than mixutres. But nature is complex and we shouldn't assume we know what's going on in other people's lifes just because of the need to have everything well classified.

We should let everyone tell it's own story and believe it.
