Sexual orientation is one of the most fascinating aspects
of our existence, and that is because sexual thoughts
and attractions are experienced inside our minds.
Every individual's sexual orientation
is a bit different from the other,
just like personalities and appearances are slightly
different in each person.
Different people are attracted romantically or sexually
to various features and characteristics in others.
Some people do not feel attraction at all
and identify as asexual.
A person's feelings about attraction
can evolve, or may stay the same over time.
The same is true across cultures and countries
all over the world.

From when I was a small child, I remember myself falling in love
with boys.
Although, from time to time, in my dreams,
I would be fascinated by a beautiful women
or feel something from imagining a woman.
Now, I never found myself attracted to a real life woman
standing in front of me, so I consider myself straight.
From a very early age, I experienced this feeling
that would later become attraction towards men.
For years, I was so afraid of dealing
with my sexual orientation, until at the age of 21,
I hooked up with a woman, and that made me realize,
finally, that women are just not my cup of tea.
So from then on, I started the process
of accepting my feelings and coming out as gay to my family
and friends.
I would probably define myself as pansexual.
I'm more drawn to the soul and character and less
to a specific gender.
I had relationships with all genders, as each of them
met a different emotional need of mine.
And for the past three years, I've
been living with an amazing woman who
I'm still madly in love with.
As you can see, there is a wide variety of sexual orientations.
Human sexual orientation is a spectrum.
As we open our minds further, we learn
to respect and accept the differences in each other
and realize that love and attraction may
come in many forms.
