Geometry

In geometry, a straight line or path is the shortest distance between two points. This concept is fundamental to the study of geometry and is used in the definition of various geometric shapes and figures. A straight line has no curvature and extends infinitely in both directions. It is often represented mathematically as a one-dimensional figure with no thickness.

Poker

In the game of poker, a straight is a type of hand that consists of five cards in sequence. The cards do not have to be of the same suit. The value of a straight is determined by the highest card in the sequence. For example, a straight consisting of 5-6-7-8-9 is higher than a straight consisting of 2-3-4-5-6. A straight is a relatively strong hand in poker, but it is beaten by higher hands such as a flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, and royal flush.

Sexuality

In terms of sexuality, straight is a colloquial term for heterosexual. A straight individual is one who is attracted to the opposite sex. This term is often used in contrast to terms such as gay, lesbian, and bisexual, which refer to individuals who are attracted to the same sex or both sexes, respectively. The concept of sexual orientation, including heterosexuality, is a significant aspect of human sexuality and is a topic of ongoing research and debate in various fields including psychology, sociology, and sexology.
