Is it normal to be attracted to both boys and girls even if I don’t want to date or marry the opposite sex?

Yes. Attraction can be fluid, which means you can be attracted to many different people. Who or what you’re attracted to can change. Being attracted to someone doesn’t always mean you want to be in a relationship with them.

Sexual orientation is a person’s emotional and sexual attraction to other people. For example, heterosexual (attracted to opposite gender); gay (attracted to the same gender); bisexual (attracted to more than one gender); and asexual (does not feel sexual attraction).

Pansexual means you are attracted to a person’s personality (who they are), not their gender, sexual orientation, or body parts. Think of “P” for person. Sexuality can be fluid (change) and may or may not reflect sexual behaviours.
