A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Is it normal for your sexual orientation to change over time? When I was around 15-17, I identified as bi, then for a couple years something changed (no reason, it just did) and I was pretty much exclusively into guys, and now (when I'm 19) I'm starting to feel attracted to females again (still like guys though, also). Is this common or at least normal?

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure how normal this is. I'm straight and have been ever since I first started noticing girls as a preteen boy.

However, it is true that as we get older and mature our perspectives change, and what we desire in a partner changes as a result. The type of woman I want now at age 35 is quite different than the women I was into at age 21. So perhaps what you're experiencing is along those lines, just in a different way.
