Sexual orientation can be described simply as what kind of gender a person finds attracted to and how they are attracted. American psychology describes sexual orientation as follows: "Sexual orientation refers to the persistent pattern of male, female or gender, romantic and/or sexual attraction." It is an integral part of our human being, even in one's Behavior, activity or appearance may not be obvious. There are many factors that can be used in a certain direction. It usually consists of a combination of environmental factors, emotional factors, hormonal factors and biological factors.
Although there are many orientation groups, four have reached an agreement in the scientific community. These terms were created in the 19th century and we have only used them until today.
Opposite
from
This defines groups that are attracted to the opposite sex, such as men who are attracted to women or women who are called men. This is also called "extra" or "straight" in proverbs.
Same sex
from
This term is used to define groups that feel like being attracted to the same sex, such as women who are attracted to women or men who are attracted to men. Homosexuals sometimes use the term "gay", and homosexual women often use the term "lesbian".
Bisexual
from
Those associated with this group are in trouble in heterosexual and gender definitions, but are emotionally romantic and/or sexually appealing to both men and women, whether they are women or men. People who have a unique [but not the only] appeal to gender may also fall into this category - one example is a woman who likes men, but will also consider the appeal of another woman.
Asexual
from
In recent years, the classic concept of sexual orientation has been steadily changing to adapt to the term "sexless love". Asexuals are people who do not feel any emotion, romance or sexual attraction. In essence, there is a lack of sexual interest or sexual attraction to others.
Sexless orientation has only recently been adopted as an orientation, and many people still disagree. Some people think that for the direction of existence, it must point in a certain direction, and the lack of sexual desire is a disease or dysfunction. The image of the compass is used as a metaphor - although the compass can point in many different directions and even change direction, the compass without the pointer does not point anywhere and has actually been broken. We are here again to talk about other people's opinions. If a person is happy and healthy, then who can say that something asexual can be compared in some way to a broken compass? It can't and shouldn't. If a person is satisfied with who they are and what they are, why did something break at the beginning?
Other instructions
from
There are many changes in sexual orientation, and some speculate that we have not found them yet. These include generality, attractiveness and/or gender identity for all genders; variability, attractiveness for multiple genders and/or gender identity; and sexual life, which is biologically male or female, may or may It does not contain the feeling of losing sexual orientation.
Although these additional orientations are generally not accepted, taught or spoken, they do exist and are as effective as any of the previously mentioned orientations.
Sexual orientation lacks variability
from
Over the years, it has been rumored [and generally believed] that a person's sexual orientation can change and change depending on the way a person grows or the sexual or emotional experience of growing up. However, when science professionals admit that sexual orientation is not an option, people also recognize that people have an orientation and will not change. Although many people hide their direction, or sometimes they are confused about their true direction, this does not mean that the direction is changing.
There is consensus that although people may try to "change their feelings", in the long run, there is no evidence that these results will produce the desired results. In fact, psychologists have shown that trying to force someone to feel sexually unattractive about sex can lead to long-term psychological reactions.
Social influence on sexual orientation
from
It can be said that sexual orientation is closely related to social identity and orientation. This means that a person's social environment, such as the behavior, thoughts and directions of people around the individual, often helps to define a person's sexual orientation. This example can be used because individuals' families will have some form of sexual orientation because they have a certain religious belief. This is controversial because many people have stepped out of the social environment and despised their sexual orientation, and this person was forced to hide it or reject the social environment.
Golden scale
from
Also known as the Heterosexuality - Gay Rating Scale, this scale was created by Alfred Kinsey to deepen the description and definition of sexual orientation. Based on their sexual history, they can find their place on a scale and describe themselves based on it. The ratio ranges from 0 to 6, where 0 is pure heterosexuality and 6 is pure homosexuality. Therefore, the numbers 1 to 5 indicate the scale of some bisexuality. Kinsey described the reasons behind his scale: "The world should not be divided into sheep and goats. It is the basis of taxonomy. The natural world rarely involves discrete categories... The world of life is the continuum of everyone. While emphasizing the gradual continuity between heterosexual and exclusive homosexual history, it seems that there is a need to develop a classification that can be based on the relative number of heterosexual and homosexual experiences or reactions in each history [..... .] For each period of his life, an individual can be assigned a position of this rank. [...] The seven-point scale is close to showing many levels that actually exist. "These days, the Golden Scale is considered to be moving toward A step in a better direction, but it is by no means a complete reference, because it is also a gender rating of 0-6. In the upper and lower methods, it does not even begin to describe the uniqueness of each sexual orientation.
So, as we begin to explore the uniqueness of each individual, I hope that through the short description given above, we can at least see people entering the world, their compass pointing in different directions. Indeed, even recognize and accept those who do not have pointers!
