Sexual orientation refers to whether an individual is sexually attracted to men or women, both, or neither. If a person is identified as a man and is attracted to a man, he is said to be homosexual. If a person is identified as a woman and is attracted to men, she is said to be heterosexual. Most people in fact have complex sexual orientations; that is, their sense of sexual attraction goes beyond just other people’s gender identities. People do not choose their sexual orientations, though they do choose whether to act on their sexual desires.
