fluid sexuality

a person who experiences fluid s-xuality will experience changes in their s-xual orientation, whether over a lifetime, years, months or sometimes weeks or days at a time.

people who identify as having fluid s-xuality often see it as a distinct s-xual orientation.
a person with fluid s-xuality may be attracted only to men for much of their life but gradually experience a growing attraction to women.

a person may only be attracted to men for a number of months, then experience equal attraction to both genders for a period of time, then experience attraction to neither gender for a time and so on. this would be fluid s-xuality.
often, teenage girls feel that labeling themseves bis-xual is played out or not alternative enough. the next best thing is claiming to believe in fluid s-xuality, which basically involves constantly referencing kinsey (see: kinsey scale) and having intelligent debates about the issue in livejournal comments that basically consist of one person saying “yes, i believe in fluid s-xuality” so another can answer, “i agree. i am a girl and i’ve noticed that sometimes other girls are attractive.”

arguably, the popularity of the term “fluid s-xuality” began to flourish when the n’s programming schedule began airing somewhat lesbian/bis-xual themed television shows, all of which used “i don’t believe in labels, i believe in fluid s-xuality!” as a euphamism for “if we talk about fluid s-xuality long enough, i hopefully won’t have to kiss another girl. ew ew ew.”

it’s generally agreed that claiming a fluid s-xuality is a mere one step cooler than crying bis-xual.
