In recent years, sexuality has been a topic of much discussion. Acceptance is the most common path, and many people appear to be questioning their gender.
We may occasionally hear about someone who struggles with sexual identity issues, and it may take them years to resolve their issues. This was the situation with Emma Flint, a lady who battled her sexuality for around 30 years.
The fact that she is abrosexual is one of the things she has realized and is now comfortable with. She suffered several setbacks during the thirty years it took her to reach that decision.

Among the things a buddy texted her was: “When did you decide this? I’ve never heard of this label; is it even real? Obviously, I’m with you, but this doesn’t sound real. To put it mildly, it was difficult.
Abrosexuality is a sexual orientation that, if you are unfamiliar with it, means that you may experience romantic attraction to people of different genders or even to no one at all during your lifetime. It is a fluid form of sexuality in which you may experience periods of attraction to women and men.
The word itself is derived from the Greek word “abro,” which signifies delicate or graceful. Stated differently, the transition from one sexual orientation to another occurs easily and gradually.
Emma was able to embrace something previously unavailable to her after discovering her own sexual orientation.
“I didn’t learn about abrosexuality until two years ago, when I was thirty,” she stated. I had had trouble defining my sexuality up to that moment because it changed so quickly.
She claimed that occasionally she would have lesbian feelings before abruptly switching to bisexuality. In the end, she recognized that “my sexuality was fluid.”
“You should always listen with respect, even though I’m not expecting everyone to understand what it means—he*l, I didn’t until two years ago,” she wrote. “I’m glad to report that the rest of my family and friends have been very supportive of who I am and have made an effort to learn more.”

Online, she receives a lot of support, but occasionally, some people are perplexed. “Hearing things like’mate, you’re just confused’ or ‘just say you’re bisexual and be done with it’ is still difficult,” she said. I’m not going to let someone else’s narrow understanding confine me. We are all constantly discovering new aspects of ourselves; this is the essence of growth and development.
Eventually, I hope that abrosexuality will not be viewed as a means of being “on trend,” as some of the nasty remarks I’ve heard imply, but rather as natural and just another identity that someone may possess.
“My sexuality makes sense to me, and that’s all that matters in the end, so I’m no longer anxious about it.”
