Sexual Orientation Meaning

Sexual Orientation

Sexual orientation is a person’s sexual identity in relation to the sex to which they are attracted; the fact of being heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. It is about who you are attracted to and want  to have intimate relationships with.  There are several types of sexual orientations that are commonly described as:

a    a)      Hetrosexual:  Hetrosexuality is also called straight sexuality. People who are heterosexual are romantically and physically attracted to the members of the opposite sex: males are attracted to females, and females are attracted to males.

b    b)      Homosexual (gay or lesbian):  People who are homosexual are romantically and physical attracted to people of the same sex; females are attracted to other females; males are attracted to other males. Male homosexuals are called ‘gays’ whereas female homosexual are called ‘lesbians’.

c    c)       Bisexual: People who are bisexual are romantically and physically attracted to the members of both sexes.

d    d)      Transsexual: Transsexual people experience a gender identity that is inconsistent with, or not culturally associated with their assigned sex and desire to permanently transition to the gender with which they identify, usually seeking medical assistance to help them align their body with their body with their identified sex. True transsexual feel that  they belong to the other sex; they want to be function as members of the opposite sex, not only to appear as such. For them, their sex organs, the primary (testes) as well as the secondary (Penis and others) are disgusting deformities that must be changed by surgery.
