Do
you ever wonder...
Am I normal? Does any one else have sexual feelings like I do? How
can I deal with the feelings I have? Are people going to judge me
if I am different? If you have questions and concerns about sexuality,
you are not alone!
Everybody has questions. Nobody has all the answers. |
There is more to sexuality than having sex. Thoughts,
feelings and relationships can also be part of your sexuality. People
experience their sexuality in different ways, such as: A crush on a teacher,
fantasies about someone famous (like a singer or an actor), dating someone.
You might be attracted to someone because she or he is cute, funny, smart,
exciting, different or for some other reason that you can't explain.
You might start to have sexual feelings before you are ready to do anything
about them (like hold hands, kiss or have sex). Take your time figuring
out what is comfortable and natural for you. If you don't feel ready to
have sex, you are not alone. In fact, most teens do not have sex until
they are out of high school.
