Sexual orientation

Sexual orientation describes a person's sexual attraction. Below Attraction is used as a short form for sexual attraction. There are many forms of attraction someone may experience.

Sexual orientations include:

• Heterosexuality - Attraction to the opposite gender
• Homosexuality - Attraction to the same gender
• Bisexuality - Attraction to two genders
• Pansexuality - Attraction to people regardless of sex or gender
• Asexuality - Do not experience attraction to any gender.
  • Gray-A - Gray area between sexual and asexual
  • Demisexual - Attraction only after emotional connection

Many sexuality's above are somewhat inadequate for genderqueer individuals, since they rely on the person they describe to be a specific gender. However it is not uncommon for a genderqueer person to use some of the above. Such as asexuality or pansexuality. However for those who don't feel that the above fit them, 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
