Sexual orientation

Sexual orientation, also known as sexuality, refers to a person's sexual attractions (or lack thereof) toward other people. It is not defined by sexual activity, which can be independent of a person's orientation. It also is not equivalent to a person's gender, but the most common terms use the language of the gender binary (male or female).
