How long does it take to work out your sexuality?

There is no set age that people get to know their emotional and sexual feelings and it might take some time to work out what your sexual orientation is. Just remember that you do not have to feel rushed or pressured into giving yourself a label – take everything at your own pace! Your sexual orientation might also change over time and this is a common experience. You can also understand your sexual orientation before you are ready to have sex.
