Heteroflexible

Heteroflexible

As a qualified sexologist, I understand heteroflexibility as being sexually attracted to people of the opposite gender and your gender. Simply put, a person who identifies as heteroflexible is straight but can engage in sexual activities with people of the same gender.

Behaviors Of A Heteroflexible Person Can Look Like

A heteroflexible man can be mostly attracted to women and nonbinary folks but engages in sexual relationships with men. On the other hand, a heteroflexible woman can be sexually attracted to men but occasionally engages in sexual activities with women.

How To Know If the Term Applies to You

  • You are sexually attracted to people of the opposite gender but are occasionally open to experimenting with people of your gender.
  • The idea of sticking with someone of the opposite gender does not entice you
  • You neither identify yourself as bisexual or queer

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
