of course it can! think of the label you use for your orientation like a sticky note- it might stay there forever, or you can take it off, or replace it with one of a different size, colour or shape. your label and understanding of your sexuality- and your sexuality itself- might change, but your heart never does.

Yes! Human sexuality is very fluid and can change as time progresses, or sometimes you may realize the label you were using to describe your sexual orientation was all wrong, and start identifying as something else. This is completely fine and normal, and doesn't invalidate either your previous or current orientation.

It can yes. Depending on which sexuality makes you comfortable and makes you feel right. Do research more on sexuality and know more about it before getting into any of it to be sure of what you are doing.

Definitely, especially during times when you may still be trying to work out who truly are, and it will take time before you find an orientation label (or no label) that you are most comfortable with.

Orientations and gender identities could be fluid, meaning that they can change over time. For example, you may be sure about being a homosexual but over the years, you may realise that you are a bisexual and vice-versa.

Yes it can! It depends on what you’re orientation is. Sometimes you get exposed to new things and new feelings come up. You’ll be just fine!

If you are still in your teenage years, you are still developing as a person, and are often times confused on this subject. Just give it time, and you soon will find out for yourself.

Yes! For example, if someone is Bisexual, they may change to a Lesbian as they have gotten the wrong sexual orientation for the attraction they feel.

I find sexual orientation can change with one's awareness. In other words, with more experiences, one's sexual orientation can change as a reflection of the experiences.

Sexual orientation can absolutely change. It can be confusing at times because you may not feel like you know who you are, but thats okay. It doesn't mean that you were faking your previous identity, it just means now you like something new!
