Socio/Psychologically speaking which other divisions have been made other than men or women.

Monosexual Sexual Orientations
Some people are exclusively attracted to members of only one gender. Sexual orientation labels used by monosexual people include:
  • Gay: generally refers to a man who is attracted to men. Sometimes refers to all people who are attracted to people of the same sex; sometimes "homosexual" is used for this also, although this label is seen by many today as a medical term that should be retired from common use.
  • Lesbian: a woman who is attracted to women. Sometimes also or alternately "same gender-loving woman" or "woman loving woman."
  • Straight: a man who is exclusively attracted to women or a woman who is exclusively attracted to men; also sometimes generally used to refer to people whose sexualities are societally normative. Alternately referred to as “heterosexual.”
Polysexual Sexual Orientations
Some people are attracted to members of multiple genders. Sexual orientation labels used by polysexual people include:
  • Bisexual: attracted to people of one's own gender and people of other gender(s). Often referred to as "bi."
  • Pansexual: attracted to people regardless of gender. Sometimes also or alternately "omnisexual."
  • Queer: similar to pansexual, queer can be an identity label meaning that a person is attracted to people of many genders; however, queer is a multi-faceted word with more than one definition and use, and is viewed as offensive by some people.
Asexual Sexual Orientation
Some people do not experience sexual attraction. Most people this applies to identify as asexual.
  • Asexual: not sexually attracted to anyone and/or no desire to act on attraction to anyone. Does not necessarily mean sexless. Asexual people sometimes do experience affectional (romantic) attraction.
In addition to the above, some people don’t like and don’t use labels. Other people identify as; Questioning: a term used to describe someone who is unsure of or exploring their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
