How does a person work out their sexual preferences and their own sexuality?

If you don't know or just find the whole lot massively confusing where do you start?

I no longer feel I understand sexuality or sexual preferences in my 50's. It's like everything I thought I knew seems wrong and invalid.

The trick is not to fret about these things. You feel what you feel, you crave what you crave. That is all. There is no "wrong and invalid". Nature has made us the way we are. Should we pretend to know better than Nature?

@gfantasy It's more about understanding myself and trying to figure out how adult interactions fit into the overall fabric of my life. The more I delve, the more I'm finding that adult interactions just feel more foreign.
