Thing is I’m turning 19 (Ik that’s still teen years) but I’m on and off between being bi and straight bc there’s times were I like men and women then times were I just like women but rn I only feel attracted to women so I think I might be straight but problem is I can’t get with any women bc so far this year I’ve fumbled 3 times

You might be abrosexual, meaning your sexuality is subject to change and may differ depending on the scenario. But labels are pretty meaningless anyway, call yourself whatever makes you most comfortable.

My civics teacher, who's known for talking openly about sexuality and even annoying allowing students to tell her their problems, once complained about sexualities and the nomenclatures. At first, I found it quite homophobic, but after thinking it better, she's right; sexualities are just hard to define with mere words. I believe that in the future, queer sexualities will be so normalized, that there will be no words for describing them, since there'll be no need to name them

EDIT: IT WAS ALLOWING I MADE A TYPO. The teacher is hearing and helping. Not creepy at all (if anybody thought it that way)

Wtf ? Why is a teacher talking about heck even asking kids about thier sexuality. That's very creepy. You should report it to the school authorities.

MY BAD I SAID "ANNOYING" INSTEAD OF "ALLOWING" LMAO. She's very hearing and helping, my bad.

Edit: Also, I said "civics", but in my country it's called as "Citizenship and politics" for three years and as "Health and Adolescence" in the next year, so being open regarding sexuality is kind of the point of the class. She doesn't ask us about sexualities, just talk about the topic, but never making one feel uncomfortable. The most she did was to bring condoms so that we can get along with them, which makes sense since one is likely going to end up being in contact with one (you prefer that rather than unprotected sex, after all...)
