Can your sexuality change over time?

Personally, I'd much rather be with someone who was kind, respectful and supportive. So, my motto is "Personality over 'Plumbing'"

@wackidywack Sorry, little slow - who is obsessed with what?
wackidywack · 26-30
@Trav2024 im obsessed with your comment !
Trav2024 · 51-55, M
@wackidywack OH! OK. Now I understand. Thank you for your support.
Yes.

I think people get too caught up trying to define or chase "normal".

One thing we are learning more and more from science is that imaginary baseline doesn't exist.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow It seems you'd rather be focused on who I am so you can attack a strawman of a logical fallacy, rather than present an argument of which you don't have.

I know what you said, and you reiterated it, hence I asked and have now asked again, using your words, what this "baseline" is and, to use your words what you are "learning more and more from science"?. Go ahead.

Asking what you mean in your own words, using your words, is not a fallacy. So, please do tell me what you mean in your words. I don't wish to play games, I'd like to know your thoughts, hence I've asked for your thoughts quoting the exact words you used, that's how discussion works. A "fallacy" would be not asking you what you think and ascribing what I think you mean based upon a predetermined external axiom. I want to know your thoughts. Go ahead.
@Therealsteve No I am calling you out on your behavior. And now you are throwing around random logical fallacies that don't apply for what? To look impressive to a less educated audience here? Your behavior here is entirely performative.


Again you are deliberately misrepresenting my position. My position is there is no fixed baseline for human sexuality. And various studies and research backs this up.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00224499.2023.2289517#abstract

Part of the problem with older research is it expected everyone fit into 3 neat boxes "straight, gay, or bisexual". Categories that themselves don't really predate 1920s Europe. Also for the longest time very little research was done outside western cisgender Caucasian people. There was for example zero accounting for societies that have completely different concepts of sexual identity like the idea of two spirited people from First Nations culture.

The more studies evolved out of white American and European suburbs the more complicated the results have gotten.





I never said that was a fallacy. Implying you are right because you claim to have a degree absolutely is a fallacy.

Absolutely...I was seduced by a male friend at a time when I considered myself "straight" (I've never identified as straight since).
For the next few years, all my sexual relationships were with men...and I started to identify as "gay".
After that, I met and fell in love with a woman...and started to identify as "bisexual".
After years of no sex and lots of alcohol, I noticed that I felt more "gay" when I was drunk.
I finally realized that, while I could appreciate the beauty of a woman's body, I was really only sexually attracted to men. So recently I started again to identify as "gay" rather than "bisexual".
My sexuality has changed from "straight" to "gay" to "bisexual" and back to "gay" during my lifetime.

Yes. Sexuality is a really complex mix of your genetic predisposition, personality, and environment. Also it's a process of self-exploration and discovery.

Sure. We tend to explore sometimes and expand upon what we enjoy and even whom. It doesn't mean everyone does, but lots of people do.
Ananke · 26-30, F
Sexuality is fluid and dynamic.

It is whatever it is to you.

If you feel your sexuality changes then yes it can change.

I used to be asexual and now I'm not.
TwistedApe · 51-55, M
@Ananke when you say you were “asexual” what exactly was it like? Just not interested in sex at all or have a missed the point entirely?
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
Yes it can. It happens all the time. People test the waters to see what they like, they experiment. And sometimes they enjoy the grass on the other side and decide it's where they would rather be.
Punxi · F
Perhaps. But never my enthusiasm there of.

I put my back in to what ever I'm down with.
Mine has. I think this is normal but people get stuck on labels.
Ambersky · 51-55, F
I think it is very person specific. Preference does move from time to time though.

I think it's possible, many are hovering more in the middle.
I've loved curvy women as long as I can remember....... I still love em. I doubt that will ever change.
FoxyGoddess · 51-55, F
VladG94 · 31-35, M
@FoxyGoddess Well for women, it actually can tbh, her side isn't so fixed like a man is tbh
SW-User
I would think so yeah
VladG94 · 31-35, M
@SW-User Maybe in one's religious side....
It's fluid and on a spectrum so sure
VladG94 · 31-35, M
@HijabaDabbaDoo Not in a man's sexuality though, but for a woman, yes

@Amy78 Unless if one is a man then his sexuality is fixed tbh, thus guys don't really experiment with eachother like women do tbh

this person replying to everyone and not being OP is making me laugh. Good times
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Yeah. It can disappear too.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@VladG94 Yes it can. It's a matter of hormones and chronic stress.
VladG94 · 31-35, M
@CrazyMusicLover It doesn't work that way in a man since it can't change nor disappear altogether, just because one's mental health affects their sexual desires doesn't mean that it itself is gone altogether, and hormones isn't the root of "sexual change" but the root is really from religion and so on
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@VladG94 You're wrong.
VladG94 · 31-35, M
No, a woman's sexuality can change overtime in her life but a man's sexuality can't change unless he's religious tbh

@VladG94 Again, I do appreciate your opinion but not everyone thinks the way that you do. Have a good life. 🤓

Patriot96 · 56-60, C
Youre just confused
@Patriot96 Coming from you that is hilarious.
Alyosha · 36-40, M
Sexuality can be deformed from the natural alignment, like almost any part of human psychology.
AdmiralPrune · 41-45, M
Maybe. But it hasn’t.
ZulXeroth · 31-35, M
The more you think for yourself, the more likely.
Yea you eventually get old enough to need pills 💊 for ya pecker to work
TwistedApe · 51-55, M
In what way do you mean? Some thing like gay to heterosexual or man to woman?
empanadas · 31-35, M
I still love women. But others, it might
VladG94 · 31-35, M
@nativespirit Unless you're a man
