SECTION 1
SEX
Organisms of many species are specialized into male and female
varieties, each known as a sex. Sexual reproduction involves
the combining and mixing of genetic traits: specialized cells
known as gametes combine to form offspring that inherit traits
from each parent. Gametes can be identical in form and function
(known as isogamy), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved
such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes)
exist (known as anisogamy).

HUMAN SEXUALITY
Human sexuality is the capacity to have erotic experiences and responses.
A person's sexual orientation may influence their sexual interest and
attraction for another person. Sexuality may be experienced and expressed
in a variety of ways, including through thoughts, fantasies, desires,
beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviors, practices, roles and relationships,
which may manifest by way of biological, physical, emotional, spiritual or
social aspects. The biological and physical aspects of sexuality largely
concern the reproductive functions of the sexes (including the human sexual
response cycle), and the basic biological drive that exists in all species.
Physical, as well as emotional, aspects of sexuality also include the bond
that exists between individuals, and is expressed through profound feelings
or physical manifestations of emotions of love, trust, and caring. Spiritual
aspects of sexuality concern an individual's spiritual connection with others.
Whereas social aspects deal with the effects of the society on one's sexuality.
In other words, sexuality additionally impacts and is impacted by cultural,
political, legal, and philosophical aspects of life. It can refer to issues of
morality, ethics, religion and theology.

PANSEXUALITY
Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is sexual attraction, romantic love,
or emotional attraction toward people of any sex or gender identity.
Pansexual people may refer to themselves as gender-blind, asserting
that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining
whether they will be sexually attracted to others.
Pansexuality may be considered a sexual orientation in its own right
or a branch of bisexuality, to indicate an alternative sexual identity.
Because pansexual people are open to relationships with people who do
not identify as strictly men or women, and pansexuality therefore
rejects the gender binary, the "notion of two genders and indeed of
specific sexual orientations", it is often considered a more inclusive
term than bisexual. To what extent the term bisexual is inclusive when
compared to the term pansexual is debated within the LGBT community,
especially the bisexual community.

SEXUAL SLANG
Sexual slang is a set of linguistic terms and phrases used to refer
to sexual organs, processes, and activities; they are generally
considered colloquial rather than formal or medical, and some may be
seen as impolite or improper.
Related to sexual slang is slang related to defecation and flatulence
(toilet humor, scatolinguistics). References to the anal tract are
often given a sexual connotation in the context of anal sex (in
particular, in a context of male homosexuality).

SEXUAL ORIENTATION
Sexual orientation describes a person's sexual attraction. Below
Attraction is used as a short form for sexual attraction. There
are many forms of attraction someone may experience.
Sexual orientations include:
Heterosexuality
Attraction to the opposite gender
Homosexuality
Attraction to the same gender
Bisexuality
Attraction to two genders
Pansexuality
Attraction to people regardless of sex or gender
Asexuality
Do not experience attraction to any gender.
Gray-A
Gray area between sexual and asexual
Demisexual
Attraction only after emotional connection
Many sexuality's above are somewhat inadequate for genderqueer
individuals, since they rely on the person they describe to be
a specific gender.
However it is not uncommon for a genderqueer person to use some
of the above. Such as asexuality or pansexuality. However for
those who don't feel that the above fit them, the following
orientations were developed:
Androsexuality
Attraction to the male gender or sex
Gynosexuality
Attraction to the female gender or sex
Androgynosexuality
Attracted to androgynous people

SECTION 8
SEXUAL ATTRACTION
Sexual attraction is an emotional response sexual people feel where
they find someone sexually appealing, and often results in a desire
for sexual contact with the person.
Sexual attraction can be experienced towards any person and any gender,
or even any thing/concept. Sexual attraction can be based upon many
qualities of a person. Physical qualities can include, but are not
limited to; appearance, movement, smell and clothing. The effect to
which a person is successful at drawing sexual attraction based upon
physical traits is known as sex appeal.
Physical qualities that result in a sexual or erotic response affect
a person’s Primary sexual attraction. Qualities that are not instantly
available such as psychology, individual genetic and cultural influence
can also lead to sexual attraction.
Secondary sexual attraction is an attraction that develops over time
based on the relationship and emotional connection with another person.
There is currently no single accepted definition of sexual attraction.
A common definition of sexual attraction is that it is defined as a
directed libido.

ROMANTIC ORIENTATION
Romantic orientation refers to an individual's pattern of romantic
attraction based on a person's gender. This is considered distinct
from sexual orientation, which refers specifically to a person
patterns of sexual attraction, which is distinct from romantic
attraction. There are many romantic identities just like sexual
orientations.
Romantic orientation terminology follows that of sexual orientation
terminology for example:
A heteroromantic person is someone romantically attracted to a
different sex or gender.
A homoromantic person is someone romantically attracted to the
same sex or gender.
A biromantic or panromantic person is romantically attracted to
multiple sexes or genders.
An aromantic person is someone who is not romantically attracted
to any sex or gender.
There are also some people who do not find the concept of romantic
attraction useful, who may use terms such as "wtfromantic".
Like sexual orientation, there is a gray area between aromantic
and romantic, which is called grayromantic. They may feel romantic
attraction, but very rarely, , or very weak.
