Sexual fluidity research (i.e., change over time in one or more sexual orientation dimensions) has grown exponentially, with advancements in conceptual models, measurement, and understanding of sexual orientation as a construct and developmental process that accommodates potential for change. Sexual fluidity research has also moved beyond samples of white cisgender women to consider the experiences of individuals with other sociodemographic characteristics and has examined change across multiple dimensions of sexual orientation, mechanisms of change, and associations with health outcomes. This review provides a brief narrative of historical conceptualizations of sexual orientation and fluidity and the current state of research on sexual fluidity. Finally, we identify opportunities for future research, policy, and clinical practice.
性流动性研究（即，一个或多个性取向维度随时间的变化）呈指数级增长，在概念模型、测量以及将性取向作为一种结构和发展过程的理解方面取得了进展，该过程可以适应潜在的变化。性流动性研究也已经超越了白人顺性别女性样本，开始考虑具有其他社会人口统计学特征的个体的经验，并研究了性取向的多个维度、变化机制以及与健康结果的关联。本综述简要叙述了性取向和流动性的历史概念，以及目前关于性流动性的研究状况。最后，我们确定了未来研究、政策和临床实践的机会。
