性取向 Sexual Orientation
- 用性取向定义一个人的异性恋或同性恋状态。一个人的性取向以他/她的性伴的偏好为基础。
- 人们在性的层级上是异性恋或同性恋,这就表明他们被另一性的性伴所性吸引或被同性所性吸引。大多数个体发展成明显的对另一性的性伴有性喜好(异性恋)。
- 但是,少数人对男性和女性都有性吸引喜好(双性恋),甚至还有更少的人主要对自身性别的性伴有性吸引喜好(同性恋)。
- Sexual orientation is defined as a person's heterosexuality or homosexuality. It is determined on the basis of preference for sexual partners.
- People are heterosexual or homosexual to the degree in which they are erotically attracted to partners of the other or same sex.
Most individuals develop a clear erotic preference for partners of the other sex (heterosexuality).
- However, a minority are erotically attracted to both men and women (bisexuality), and an even smaller minority are attracted mainly to partners of their own sex (homosexuality).
