Sexual orientation[edit]

Sexual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to men, women, both genders, neither gender, or another gender. It also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions.

Sexual behavior[edit]

Sexual behavior refers to the manner in which humans experience and express their sexuality. This can encompass a wide range of activities, including sexual thoughts, fantasies, and desires, as well as actual sexual activities.

Sexual attraction[edit]
