In love, what’s next?

Figuring out if the person you’re in love with feels the same can be tricky. This can feel even more complicated if you’re gay, lesbian, or bisexual, particularly if you haven’t been open about your sexuality yet. It can be hard to read signals, but taking things one step at a time and communicating openly can help.

If you want to be sure that the person you’re flirting with is attracted to the same sex as well, you could go to special places and events for young gay, lesbian or bisexual people.

- Check out the Facebook group, ‘’LGBT Events hosted by Lulu’’.

- Follow Foko and Curaçao Pride on social media for events.

- For those 18 years and older, Gaze Bar is an LGBT-Bar in Punda that hosts parties and events.

Sex

Making love as a gay, lesbian, or bisexual person is no different from anyone else—it starts with mutual attraction and love. You may enjoy getting to know each other, sharing kisses, caressing, and doing whatever feels good for both of you.

A few important guidelines

Only have sex with someone if you truly want to.
Do things that you both enjoy and feel comfortable with.
Never let anyone pressure you into doing something you’re unsure about or don’t want to do.
Always respect your partner’s boundaries and never talk them into doing something they don’t want to do.

Talking helps

Sometimes, you may have doubts about your feelings or simply want someone to share them with. If the people around you are not understanding or react awkwardly to your sexuality, it can be helpful to find advice or support tailored to your needs. There are resources available to help you navigate this journey.
