Sexual fluidity refers to one or more changes in sexuality or sexual identity. It means that a persons sexual orientation is not permanently fixed and can change over time and in different situations. Sexual fluidity is more common in younger people and among people who are LGBTQ+ . Here are some key points to consider:
- Sexual orientation is stable and unchanging for the vast majority of people, but some research indicates that some people may experience change in their sexual orientation.
- Sexual fluidity has to do with multiple aspects of sexuality, including sexual orientation, sexual attraction, and sexual identity.
- Sexual fluidity is distinct from bisexuality, and it may be experienced by people with any sexual orientation identity, including people who identify as bisexual, lesbian, gay, or heterosexual.
- Sexual fluidity is more common in women than in men.
- People may move between sexual categories in several ways, including changes in overall attraction to people of their less-preferred gender, changes in attraction to people of their less-preferred gender depending on the situation and persons involved, and ongoing changes in sexual behavior and attractions.
- Sexual fluidity can be attributed to females' higher erotic plasticity or to sociocultural factors that socialize women to be more open to change.
Overall, sexual fluidity is a complex and nuanced concept that reflects the diversity of human sexuality.
