We spend weeks, months, even years trying to figure out what our sexuality is. To our knowledge, we’ve found 29 sexualities that individuals identify with. But, there could be even more out there & with an ever-growing community in years to come there could be double.

Sexuality labels help us identify and feel apart of a community. However, it’s a strong possibility that you identify with none of the labels below & I want to stress, this is okay. Labels are just a few letters stringed together, they don’t define you as a person. Please remember this if you’re searching to explain what you’re feeling & feel disappointment if none below are identifiable.
