Erotic plasticity

So, you know how when you're little, you might really like one kind of toy, but then as you grow up, you might start liking different toys? Maybe when you were 3 years old, you really liked playing with stuffed animals, but now that you're 5, you like playing with Legos more.

Well, there's something kind of similar that can happen with grown-ups and how they feel about love and sex. It's called erotic plasticity. It means that sometimes, people's feelings about what kind of love or sex they like can change over time.

So, let's say there's a grown-up named Sarah. When Sarah was younger, she only really felt attracted to boys. But as she grew up, she started to feel attracted to other girls too. This doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with Sarah, or that she's confused or anything like that. It just means that sometimes, people's feelings can change over time.

Erotic plasticity can happen for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes, it's because people learn new things or have new experiences that make them feel differently about love and sex. Sometimes, it's because people meet new people who they feel a connection with in a way they didn't expect.

The important thing to remember is that it's okay for people's feelings to change. Nobody should be made to feel bad or ashamed about it. Everyone has the right to feel however they feel, and to explore their feelings in a safe and respectful way.
