I discovered that I’m not gay after 6 years.

I’m a female and have dated and slept with both men and women- the first time I got up and personal with a penis I was so grossed out I thought I wouldn’t ever be able to get used to it. Similar reaction but for different reasons with a vulva, despite having one myself that I quite liked.

Don’t think that wanting to end or being grossed out means your entire sexuality needs to shift- unless obviously that’s what you feel. I just want to reassure you it doesn’t mean you have to “change”.

But also, no harm in changing. We learn from our experiences and grow and it’s a good thing to change in a lot of situations.

It took me probably until I was 30 to figure out exactly what was my personal sexuality was vs what I was conditioned to believe, combined with growing up in a sheltered and shame filled house. It’s alright to not have it figured out.
