Yes v v good points!!! Thank you for adding <3 I think it happens differently for everyone and that’s part of what’s so great and inclusive and realistic about having a characters sexuality change and grow with them ! a younger person in a sexualised culture might have an interest in sex but not in engaging in it, or their attraction might evolve as they grow and experience more things, including abuse for their sexuality or even engaging in sexual activities before they realise their feelings. So I think that not only can sexuality be very fluid, and definitely impacted by things like trauma and abuse, but it can also simply evolve as we figure out the right words for it. and even now it still feels like I’m figuring that out. So I didn’t actually realise that there was a word for what I was until I was 21-22 years old and had several sexual relationships.
