representation of sexuality

Heterosexual


This is when a person is sexually attracted to people of the opposite sex. This means as a male you would be attracted to a female and as a female you would be attracted to a male. An example of this would be Cook from the T.V series, Skins.

Homosexual

This is when a person is sexually attracted to people of their own sex. This could be a male attracted to another male which is called 'gay' and a female attracted to another female which is called a 'lesbian'. An example of this would be Maxxie who is also from the T.V series, Skins.

Bi Sexual

Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior toward both males and females, and may also encompass romantic or sexual attraction to people of any gender identity or to a person irrespective of that person's biological sex or gender, which is sometimes termed pan sexuality. An example of this would be John Barrowman out of the T.V series Torchwood.


Asexual

This is a person who is without sexual feelings or associations towards a male or female. An example of this would be Dexter out of the T.V series, Dexter. However, he does find a girlfriend but finds it hard to be sexual with his partner.
