Scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation, but they believe that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. They favor biologically-based theories, which point to genetic factors, the early uterine environment, both, or the inclusion of genetic and social factors. There is no substantive evidence which suggests parenting or early childhood experiences play a role when it comes to sexual orientation. Research over several decades has demonstrated that sexual orientation ranges along a continuum, from exclusive attraction to the opposite sex to exclusive attraction to the same sex.

Sexual identity and sexual behavior are closely related to sexual orientation, but they are distinguished, with sexual identity referring to an individual's conception of themselves, behavior referring to actual sexual acts performed by the individual, and orientation referring to "fantasies, attachments and longings." Individuals may or may not express their sexual orientation in their behaviors. People who have a homosexual sexual orientation that does not align with their sexual identity are sometimes referred to as 'closeted'. The term may, however, reflect a certain cultural context and particular stage of transition in societies which are gradually dealing with integrating sexual minorities. In studies related to sexual orientation, when dealing with the degree to which a person's sexual attractions, behaviors and identity match, scientists usually use the terms concordance or discordance. Thus, a woman who is attracted to other women, but calls herself heterosexual and only has sexual relations with men, can be said to experience discordance between her sexual orientation (homosexual or lesbian) and her sexual identity and behaviors (heterosexual).

Gay and lesbian people can have sexual relationships with someone of the opposite sex for a variety of reasons, including the desire for a perceived traditional family and concerns of discrimination and religious ostracism. While some LGBT people hide their respective orientations from their spouses, others develop positive gay and lesbian identities while maintaining successful heterosexual marriages. Coming out of the closet to oneself, a spouse of the opposite sex, and children can present challenges that are not faced by gay and lesbian people who are not married to people of the opposite sex or do not have children.

From at least the late nineteenth century in Europe, there was speculation that the range of human sexual response looked more like a continuum than two or three discrete categories. Berlin sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld published a scheme in 1896 that measured the strength of an individual's sexual desire on two independent 10-point scales, A (homosexual) and B (heterosexual). A heterosexual individual may be A0, B5; a homosexual individual may be A5, B0; an asexual would be A0, B0; and someone with an intense attraction to both sexes would be A9, B9.

Q1: Who was the sexologist that published a scheme in 1896?
A1: Magnus Hirschfeld
Q2: What did the published scheme attempt to do?
A2: measured the strength of an individual's sexual desire
Q3: How did the scheme measure desire?
A3: on two independent 10-point scales
Q4: What were the two scales defined as?
A4: A (homosexual) and B (heterosexual)
Q5: How many points were on each scale?
A5: 10-point
Q6: When did the questioning of human sexual responses begin?
A6: From at least the late nineteenth century
Q7: Who created the ten point scale on a persons sexuals desire?
A7: Magnus Hirschfeld
Q8: What year did Magnus Hirschfeld create the ten point scale on a persons sexual desire.
A8: 1896
Q9: On Magnus's ten point scale what would a homosexual person be considered?
A9: a homosexual individual may be A5, B0
Q10: On the ten point scale what would an asexual person be considered as?
A10: an asexual would be A0, B0
A third concern with the Kinsey scale is that it inappropriately measures heterosexuality and homosexuality on the same scale, making one a tradeoff of the other. Research in the 1970s on masculinity and femininity found that concepts of masculinity and femininity are more appropriately measured as independent concepts on a separate scale rather than as a single continuum, with each end representing opposite extremes. When compared on the same scale, they act as tradeoffs such, whereby to be more feminine one had to be less masculine and vice versa. However, if they are considered as separate dimensions one can be simultaneously very masculine and very feminine. Similarly, considering heterosexuality and homosexuality on separate scales would allow one to be both very heterosexual and very homosexual or not very much of either. When they are measured independently, the degree of heterosexual and homosexual can be independently determined, rather than the balance between heterosexual and homosexual as determined using the Kinsey Scale.

Q1: What was a concern of the Kinsey scale?
A1: it inappropriately measures heterosexuality and homosexuality
Q2: How are masculinity and femininity more appropriately measured?

Q7: What would be possible if homesexuality and heterosexuality where measured on different scales?
A7: would allow one to be both very heterosexual and very homosexual or not very much of either.
Q8: What is another benefit of measuring sexuality on two scaless verses just the Kinsey scale?
A8: the degree of heterosexual and homosexual can be independently determined,
Research focusing on sexual orientation uses scales of assessment to identify who belongs in which sexual population group. It is assumed that these scales will be able to reliably identify and categorize people by their sexual orientation. However, it is difficult to determine an individual's sexual orientation through scales of assessment, due to ambiguity regarding the definition of sexual orientation. Generally, there are three components of sexual orientation used in assessment. Their definitions and examples of how they may be assessed are as follows:

Q1: How does research identify sexual population groups?
A1: scales of assessment
Q2: What is the understanding of the scales used?
A2: to reliably identify and categorize people by their sexual orientation

A4: three components
Q5: What does the research on sexual orientation use to determine who belongs in which sexual populaiton group?
A5: scales of assessment
Q6: What is the general idea regading these scales that are used?
A6: assumed that these scales will be able to reliably identify and categorize people by their sexual orientation.
Q7: What can cause problems with these scales that are used?
A7: ambiguity regarding the definition of sexual orientation
Q8: How many components are used in an assessment?
A8: there are three components of sexual orientation
Depending on which component of sexual orientation is being assessed and referenced, different conclusions can be drawn about the prevalence rate of homosexuality which has real world consequences. Knowing how much of the population is made up of homosexual individuals influences how this population may be seen or treated by the public and government bodies. For example, if homosexual individuals constitute only 1% of the general population they are politically easier to ignore or than if they are known to be a constituency that surpasses most ethnic and ad minority groups. If the number is relatively minor then it is difficult to argue for community based same sex programs and services, mass media inclusion of gay role models, or Gay/Straight Alliances in schools. For this reason, in the 1970s Bruce Voeller, the chair of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force perpetuated a common myth that the prevalence of homosexuality is 10% for the whole population by averaging a 13% number for men and a 7% number for women. Voeller generalized this finding and used it as part of the modern gay rights movement to convince politicians and the public that "we [gays and lesbians] are everywhere".

Q5: What does knowing the sexual population influence?
A5: how this population may be seen or treated by the public and government bodies
Q6: Who was the cahir of the national gay and lesbian task force in the 1970s?

A8: that the prevalence of homosexuality is 10% for the whole population by averaging a 13% number for men and a 7% number for women
Another study on men and women's patterns of sexual arousal confirmed that men and women have different patterns of arousal, independent of their sexual orientations. The study found that women's genitals become aroused to both human and nonhuman stimuli from movies showing humans of both genders having sex (heterosexual and homosexual) and from videos showing non-human primates (bonobos) having sex. Men did not show any sexual arousal to non-human visual stimuli, their arousal patterns being in line with their specific sexual interest (women for heterosexual men and men for homosexual men).

A1: men and women have different patterns of arousal
Q2: Are the patterns related to orientation?
A2: independent of their sexual orientations
Q3: What types of stimuli were found to arouse women?
A3: both human and nonhuman stimuli

Q9: Did mens arousal relate to the sexual interests?
A9: , their arousal patterns being in line with their specific sexual interest (women for heterosexual men and men for homosexual men).
Androphilia and gynephilia (or gynecophilia) are terms used in behavioral science to describe sexual attraction, as an alternative to a homosexual and heterosexual conceptualization. They are used for identifying a subject's object of attraction without attributing a sex assignment or gender identity to the subject. Related terms such as pansexual and polysexual do not make any such assignations to the subject. People may also use terms such as queer, pansensual, polyfidelitous, ambisexual, or personalized identities such as byke or biphilic.

Translation is a major obstacle when comparing different cultures. Many English terms lack equivalents in other languages, while concepts and words from other languages fail to be reflected in the English language. Translation and vocabulary obstacles are not limited to the English language. Language can force individuals to identify with a label that may or may not accurately reflect their true sexual orientation. Language can also be used to signal sexual orientation to others. The meaning of words referencing categories of sexual orientation are negotiated in the mass media in relation to social organization. New words may be brought into use to describe new terms or better describe complex interpretations of sexual orientation. Other words may pick up new layers or meaning. For example, the heterosexual Spanish terms marido and mujer for "husband" and "wife", respectively, have recently been replaced in Spain by the gender-neutral terms cónyuges or consortes meaning "spouses".
