 
Pizza’s here!
 
Yes! I am starving!
 
Same! And... horny.
 
What?
Yeah! I was thinking,
first we pizza,
 
then we sex in the car?
Listen, don’t get me wrong:
I love sex.
But sometimes I feel like
I don’t want it
 
as much as I should.
Okay... How much do you
think you should want it?
The way guys are talking
at school, every 7 minutes!
Marcus, there’s no
right or wrong answer
to how much sex
a person should want.
 
Look, everyone’s different!
And different people
want different things.
You just have to
accept who you are.
 
I don’t know.
That just sounds like
a stupid Instagram post.
 
Okay. Um...
Let me give you
an example.
 
I love pizza!
Love it. Best food
ever invented, in my opinion.
Does that mean I want
to eat it every day? No.
I can go a whole couple of weeks
without eating any.
But that doesn’t mean I would not
murder someone for a slice.
Because make no mistake,
Marcus. I would.
 
Yikes.
The point is, you have to
find what works best for you.
 
And I also, you know...
 
Really love a thick crust.
 
Excuse me?
Chewy, but not too chewy,
you know what I mean?
I’m starting to feel
uncomfortable.
Yeah. And I just love
a stuffed crust.
Are we still
talking about pizza?
 
I have no idea.
Adolescence is when interest
in sexuality increases
 
and desire amplifies.
Sexual interest means
how each person feels
 
about sexuality in general.
It takes various forms,
such as:
 
curiosity about sex,
 
masturbation,
 
imagining sexual intimacy,
or desire to become
sexually active. 
This interest varies
from one person to another.
For some, it’s strong,
for others, it’s less.
Attraction is more specific
than sexual interest.
It’s directed toward
particular people.
Someone’s smile, voice,
personality or physical touch,
are sometimes enough
to spark attraction.
A growing attraction
can lead to sexual desire.
 
Attraction is often expressed
through the need
to be close to the person,
to form a romantic or sexual
relationship with them,
 
or by sexual arousal.
In a relationship, attraction is
usually expressed by touching,
thinking about the person,
and wishing to be with them.
It grows with gestures,
words and attention.
Different factors can influence
attraction between people.
Conflict and discomfort
with the person tend to diminish it.
On the other hand,
feeling confident,
expressing your desires
and letting loose
 
can make it grow.
Even if partners share a common
attraction for each other,
there are a number of reasons
why they sometimes
don’t feel the need to have sex
at the same time or as often.
 
When that happens,
you have to respect
your partner and not insist.
In short, attraction varies
according to the person,
 
the partner and the context.
I usually have to be
attracted to someone
 
on multiple levels
to have any form of
sexual attraction to them.
There’s many signs that I think
you can kind of tune into
to realize that
you’re attracted to someone.
When I’m attracted to someone,
I become very nervous.
I get this stereotypical
bubbly feeling.
 
A little bit clumsy.
I feel like suddenly,
my ability to flirt
 
is completely non-existent.
 
The smiles won’t stop...
When I get a little bit
giddy around them,
when I find myself a little,
like, sweaty palms...
Then a lot of the time,
I just start acting really weird.
I would say desire is
that feeling when you...
You’re constantly
thinking about them.
So you just can’t
get them off your mind.
I find sexual desire
is very... surface.
 
I feel like it’s more of a...
 
Like an internal feeling,
almost like, how do you
define love, you know?
It’s one of those things
I don’t really know how to define.
 
Even for myself.
Desire, of course,
isn’t just sexual.
Desire can be romantic
and sensual and...
I’m sure platonic,
as well.
You can be attracted
to many, many things.
Not just sexually,
but just...
Attracted to someone because
of the energy they give off.
My sexual preferences
are for big chubby guys.
But I ended up with a guy
who’s skinny and muscly.
Just because I have a preference
towards one thing,
doesn’t mean that’s what
I have to always go for.
I’m not entirely sure
when I was interested
in the idea of sex
with another person.
Probably some time in
public school or high school.
 
I would say I realized at age...
 
17, or 16?
I was quite late to the game,
I would say.
The very vivid moment that
I remember thinking about it,
and kind of feeling this
tingly sensation
of warmth in my belly
and in my vagina,
it was probably when
I started reading fan fictions.
I do remember
when I started
to masturbate for
the first time, and so...
That was definitely my brain
waking up, I guess,
to a different part of myself
that I didn’t know.
I discovered I was
interested in sex...
My penis reacted
to something,
 
which was pretty new.
I’d never really seen
a gay couple
 
where I lived at the time.
 
When I did see one,
when I made the trek out
to the city center,
I was kind of like:
“Wow, that’s really interesting.”
And then that kind of
spurred some thought.
And afterwards, I guess
that kind of got me interested
in relationships
and sex, but...
It was not really
any sudden spark
that brought sex
into question.
