Discovering abrosexuality: Emma's journey of self-awareness at 30
30 July 2024 14:03
Getting to know yourself and your sexuality is often quite a challenge. Sometimes, we are afraid to admit to ourselves what we feel—no wonder this woman only found out in her 30s that she is bisexual.
Abrosexuality is characterized by a kind of sexual fluidity associated with fluctuations and changes in preferences for different genders. What's more, people who identify as abrosexual often cannot determine a fixed orientation due to their changing feelings. Many still do not realize that they also belong to this group. That was the case for Emma, who revealed in a letter published by "Metro" that she only found out in her 30s that she is also abrosexual.
She was 30 when she found out she was abrosexual
Emma did not hide that she could not understand what had happened to her for a long time. Her emotions and sexual attraction to specific people changed quickly, so she began to reflect on her past love life seriously. When she shared her problems with others, she was often ridiculed.
"Sometimes I felt like a lesbian, and a few days or weeks later, I identified more with bisexuality. My sexuality was fluid," she revealed.
Emma's friends could not understand why she changed her orientation so quickly. For most of her life, she felt misunderstood. Everything changed, however, when she came across a post on social media that explained the concept of abrosexuality. Thanks to this, she became much more confident and finally received support from her loved ones.
Abrosexuality and relationships
Abrosexual people often do not want to engage in serious relationships. This is related to their unstable feelings for another person. Unfortunately, they do not have full control over whether in the near future they will not feel sexual attraction to someone completely different. This can change depending on the situation, context, or even the stage of their life. However, Emma seems to have a completely different opinion on this topic.
"It doesn't change my relationships in the same way that being bisexual doesn't cause a person to feel differently about their partner. I love the person more than their gender, so it doesn't matter if my sexuality changes when I'm in a relationship with someone."
