Late-Blooming Lesbians / Bisexuals

Switching from heterosexuality to same-sex relationships? Yes, it is a more common phenomenon than most people think. With homophobia slowly finding its way out, most women are on their feet to find a sexual identity that resonates with them.

Were Late-Blooming Lesbians or Bisexuals Concealing Their Sexuality?

The most straightforward answer is maybe. While it is safe to assume some women were concealing their sexuality to keep their families up and running, others simply found their sexual fantasies or feelings less significant.

Why Does It Happen In the 30s or above?

Now listen, the minds and bodies experience significant growth in every phase of their lives. As they age, their priorities and circumstances also change. It is this expansiveness in mid and late-life making them want to fully explore sex and sexuality to find something they want and like.
