Singer Yungblud is once again opening up about his sexuality. In a candid new interview with the Evening Standard, he says he’s done just about everything when it comes to sex.
“I tried everything,” the 22-year-old says. “In terms of sexuality, in terms of drugs, I liberated myself, rather dangerously to be honest — recklessly. I wanted to figure myself out so bad I didn’t care. I always say to young people, it was a distraction.”
The singer goes on to explain he considers himself “more straight” but “boxes are so irrelevant in terms of sexual identity.”
“A lot of people just feel how they feel,” he says.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In an interview with Attitude magazine last year, Yungblud said he’s “very fluid” with his sexuality.
“I am more straight,” he said. “[But if] I walked down the street and met a f*cking bloke tomorrow, or a trans person, you never know. … It’s about connection. I’m very fluid about it.”
The singer also said he originally moved to London from the town of Doncaster “to be liberated, to be able to paint my nails, to f*cking try sex with a guy, to try everything, to fulfill my fantasies and figure out who I am.”

He’s already expressed this before. There isn’t any new insight here.
What people who contend with degrees of fluidity throughout the years have to understand (and that includes myself) is that a great number of people do take “pride” in embracing “labels”. Don’t dismiss people and their identities like that. It’s disrespectful. However someone goes about this identity stuff needs to be respected. I also think sometimes folks who are “queer-ish” but overall hetero-leaning and have hetero ambitions don’t always recognize their privilege. And they don’t always recognize the types of overwhelming hetero pressures and internalized homophobia many people face. They also sometimes don’t recognize how guys like Graham Gremore can become obsessed with them, how that obsession can be debilitating for the guys sexually and romantically how and it can lead to greater internalized homophobia, homo shame, hetero pressures, gay inferiority, etc. Be yourself 100%. But also be smart about your message and how other people will take it. A lot of these fluid/queer/quasi-bi people don’t approach topics with enough nuance, respect and tact.

the question is would he do so the same if not by exclusion squeezed as a dancing monkey to be worthy for the “moment” … merely another tool for the “Golden Age” … by rape and death .. pretending “enlightenment” …. they shame into an age and they shame out of an age …. We are All so Original! … Someone will be holding to baggage, regardless (the game is by subtraction : a silent dagger : with silent weapons : the faithful hold on to pillars to rebound for more)

Yungblood who?
succubus
Who the hell cares?
ElPillo
He’s not attractive at all.
Vince
So he’s bisexual and did some drugs and orgies. Wow. That’s never been done before. Lol
succubus
so, that’s your issue???
SELA Rising
great for him, although he should have tried NOT messing with his lips. why do people think that type of lip looks good? well, youth is for figuring yourself out, so i repeat – great for him. age is for realizing your youthful indiscretions, if hes fortunate enough to make it.

“Straight” or not, he’s another mess with a platform. Sexuality isn’t food!
whateverokok
Sex and sexuality can often times be a lot like food. Especially sex. Sometimes in sex, as with food, you’re just doing it to satisfy a need. You don’t actually like what you’re doing, but you’re got to satisfy that need. Like with food for example. Sometimes you just want to eat to fullfill the need. So you grab something fast and quick. Doesn’t mean you always like the meal you are eating. You’re just eating to satisfy the need.
Other times you want to savor and enjoy what you are eating. But you don’t want to do any work on it. So you go to a restaurant to sit down and eat a good meal. Other times you want to prepare and cook a meal yourself because you want to enjoy the whole process. Take your time and enjoy all of it. Food and sex/sexuality can often go hand in hand.
Our sexuality is also often like a business hours of operation so to speak. One may not be “gay”, so to speak, all the time. One may only be “gay” during certain hours of the day. Mind you that I am using the word “gay” here instead of homosexual. That is because in a lot of ways homosexual and gay are two different things. But that’s another long story for another day.
