what is sexual orientation ?

Question

i find this questiou on many sites & dont know what to answer?

Answer 1

South.
No, see, "orientation" means the direction you are traveling. "Sexual orientation" is a euphemism (you-feh-mism": a "nice way of saying") for one's sexual preference. That is to say, if you are a boy, whether you like girls or other boys. If you are "oriented" towards girls, we call this "heterosexual" (using another of those fancy Greek words - "hetero" - meaning "other"). If you are "oriented" towards boys, we call this "homosexual" (from "homo" - meaning "same").
So when someone asks your "sexual orientation" they are asking whether you dip your cookie in jam or peanut butter.

Answer 2

Nothing of that sort. Read what it is exactly:-

Sexual orientation describes the direction of an individual's sexuality, often in relation to their own sex or gender. Common terms for describing sexual orientation include bisexual (bi), heterosexual (straight) and homosexual (lesbian or gay).

A number of different classification schemes have been used to describe sexual orientation since the mid-19th century, and scholars have often defined the term 'sexual orientation' in divergent ways. Indeed, several studies have found that much of the research about sexual orientation has failed to define the term at all, making it difficult to reconcile the results of different studies.[1] However, most definitions include a psychological component (such as the direction of an individual's erotic desire) and/or a behavioural component (which focuses on the sex of the individual's sexual partner/s). Some prefer to simply follow an individual's self-definition or identity.

The term sexual preference has a similar meaning, but is often used by those who believe that sexuality is fluid and incorporates an element of choice, as opposed to those who believe sexuality is fixed early in life. "Sexual identity" may be used as a synonym for sexual orientation, but the two are also sometimes distinguished, with identity referring to an individual's conception of themselves, and orientation referring to "fantasies, attachments and longings"[2] and/or behaviour. In addition, "sexual identity" may be used to describe a person's perception of their own sex, rather than sexual orientation.
