Document Summary

Sexual orientation: the directionality of one"s erotic attraction- that is, to members of the same gender and the other gender or both. Heterosexual orientation: erotic attraction to and preference for romantic relationships with members of the other gender. Homosexual orientation: erotic attraction to and preference for romantic relationships with members of your own gender. Bisexual orientation: erotic attraction to and interest in romantic relationships with both men and women. Sexual orientation is defined not by sexual activity but by the direction of romantic interest and erotic attraction. Men that are gay, focused more on emotional involvement and relationships with other people rather than only on sexual behaviour. Gays, lesbians and heterosexual people only spend a small amount of time in sexual activity. Heterosexuals might have sexual experiences with their own gender. Asians, blacks and latinos are less likely to identify themselves as gay. Heteroerotic: of an erotic nature and involving members of the other gender.
