What did Isaiah Rashad say about his sexuality?

In May 2022, Rashad sat down with Joe Budden to set the record straight when it comes to his sexuality.

In the interview, Rashad revealed that he identifies as “sexually fluid.”

“I’d say I’m sexually fluid,” Rashad said, via Rolling Stone.

“I’m still learning about it myself. I’m putting my head in the books to find out the basics of it, but basically, like, I’m not in full control of, when I walk into a room, of who I’m attracted to.” 

He then went on to add that his previous relationships do not define who he’s attracted to.

“I’m more attracted to a personality,” he continued. “I’m more attracted, sometimes, to the intellect. And sometimes, it’s just being attracted to somebody.” 

Rashad is currently in a monogamous relationship and added that coming out “doesn’t mean I’m going out and doing whatever.”

“I have an understanding with myself that, you know, to not expect anything out of myself as far as an attraction.”

At this time, the identity of Rashad’s partner is unclear, however, he stated that she “has a similar understanding of themselves in that way,” and is “putting me on to a lot of stuff I didn’t even understand.”

What does it mean to be sexually fluid?

Sexual fluidity is among the many identities present in the LGBTQ+ community and has to do with one’s sexual orientation, identity, and behavior.

Basically, when someone identifies as sexually fluid, it means that their sexual orientation isn’t permanent and is always changing.

“Fluidity is an absolutely normal aspect of sexual orientation,” Will Zogg, a Washington therapist who specializes in gender-affirming counseling, told Healthline.

“Attraction is far more complex than many people can communicate, and fluidity and the presentation of sexuality vary widely across cultures, age, access, and region.”
