Homoflexible
Updated:Homoflexible is a term used to describe individuals who primarily experience same-sex attraction but occasionally feel attracted to or engage in sexual behavior with people of a different gender. This orientation falls on the spectrum between homosexuality and bisexuality, acknowledging that sexuality can be fluid and complex.
People who identify as homoflexible typically consider themselves predominantly gay or lesbian but recognize that they have some capacity for opposite-sex attraction or experiences. This flexibility in their sexuality may be emotional, physical, or both.
Additional Information
The term "homoflexible" emerged as part of a growing recognition that sexual orientation exists on a spectrum rather than in rigid categories. It allows individuals to express the nuances of their sexuality without feeling confined to more traditional labels.
It's important to note that being homoflexible doesn't mean a person is "confused" or "in denial" about their sexuality. Rather, it's a valid orientation that reflects the complexity of human sexual attraction and behavior.
Examples
A woman who primarily dates and is attracted to other women, but occasionally finds herself attracted to men.
A man who identifies as gay but has had enjoyable sexual experiences with women, though these are rare compared to his same-sex encounters.
