Yes, it’s completely normal. Everyone experiences sexual desire at their own pace. Some people feel curious early, others later — and some might not feel sexual desire at all. None of that is strange. There’s no rule for when you’re “supposed” to want sex.

Sometimes it’s not even about desire, but about pressure — from friends, social media, or society. But sex is something you should feel ready for in your own time. It’s your body, your emotions, and your choice.

You have the right not to want it. You also have the right to change your mind, or to be unsure. The most important thing is to listen to yourself and never do something just because you think you should.

Alma’s tips:

• Ask yourself: “Do I really want this — or do I just feel like I should?”

• Talk to someone you trust if you feel pressured.

• It’s okay to wait, to say no, or to not know yet. Your desire belongs to you.
