Sexual orientation

Sexual orientation describes a person's sexual attractions.

Sexual orientations include:

• Heterosexuality - Attraction to the opposite sex
• Homosexuality - Attraction to the same sex
• Bisexuality - Attraction to both sexes
• Pansexuality - Attraction to people regardless of sex
• Asexuality - Lack of sexual attraction

The above gender-oriented sexualities above are somewhat inadequate for Genderqueer, Transgender or Agender individuals, since they rely on the person they describe to be a specific gender. Therefore, the following orientations were developed:

• Androsexuality - Attraction to the male gender or sex
• Gynosexuality - Attraction to the female gender or sex
• Androgynosexuality - Attracted to androgynous people
