I don’t believe that an outside force can change somebody’s sexuality, as sexuality is something that we seem to experience inherently and thus programs meant to change queers into straights are simply strange and perhaps people who undergo them are instead being conditioned to conform to society through different means although mostly psychologically but I think that perhaps you meant to say that do you think sexuality is fluid, or can change within us (and not through others dictating our sexuality for us).

This kind of topic is something that still being furthered ‘researched’ and by that I mean that in the academic aspect of whether terminology and definitions are accepted or refuted it is still being debated (by very few) in a relatively new genre of study – indicating that the vast majority of people are still unaccustomed to the idea and there is no ‘evidential’ proof that it is true or not.

Now onto my own personal opinion and thoughts on the subject – which anybody is free to debate and contest upon:

The individual is compromised of so many features and characteristics that we can get lost in the moment and define ourselves by what we are in any given time but forget that we, as human beings, are constantly changing not only physically but mentally and emotionally.

From one moment to the next, we are never the same being and philosophically speaking the individual is such a shifty thing that the concept of “who we are” is something that has plagued mankind for centuries with no real way of evidentially proving that we even exist. Physically even our bodies are not even the same, for our cells live and die and in a few months everything in our body is completely new and we truly are nothing physically the same as before.

Thus change is something that we can see everywhere, within and without us.

Even in a more personal implication, the things that we favor, and disfavor can, and usually are, different depending not only on where we are but various other factors. When looking for favorable features within our partners, we find ourselves re-evaluating what we need and give by what we receive and take – in one moment I could find myself heavily attracted to an individual and then find that attraction fading. Yet the change is there, and we can say we changed our attraction in response to the change in our partner or situation – and yet everything then is a response and reaction to everything else, which is also responding and reacting to everything around it, and so forth – and so things are changing always with each other to a degree but it can be hard to track on how that change will happen and in what direction.

So there can be a change and fluidity within sexuality that doesn’t entail that it is an attraction towards different genders, and we accept this fluidity easily – yet it is a sexual fluidity that defies the mono-sexual line that really has us questioning it and yet to my understanding it is because we as a society do not see this fluidity (because of various factors that I, at the moment, don’t really feel like delving into – sorry) and thus are hardpressed to believing it, just as we (society) initially questioned the validity bisexuality… or non-monosexual identities.

And yet I think even if we do not all experience such a vast difference in our sexuality, such as a fluctuation between being attracted to male-bodied or female-bodied individuals – that it can and most likely does exist, on a multitude of platforms. 

So yes. I, myself, believe that sexuality is fluid.

I hope that this helps, or maybe I just went on a long tangent for no reason…Sincerely,
