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.

(sound of blinking)

Every individual's sexual orientation
is a bit different from the other,

just like personalities and appearances
are slightly different in each person.

♪ (music) ♪

Different people are attracted
romantically or sexually

to various features
and characteristics in others.

♪ (music) ♪

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.

(sound of spinning)

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.

♪ (music) ♪

Although, you know,
from time to time, in my dreams,

♪ (music) ♪

I would be fascinated by a beautiful woman

and 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.

♪ (music) ♪

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,

(sound of horse clopping)

and that made me realize, finally,
that women are just not my cup of tea.

♪ (music) ♪

So from then on, I started
the process of accepting my feelings

and coming out as gay
to my family and friends.

♪ (music) ♪

I would probably
define myself as pansexual.

(sound of sipping)

I'm more drawn to the soul and character

and less to a specific gender.

♪ (music) ♪

I had relationships with all genders,

as each of them met
a different emotional need of mine.

♪ (music) ♪

And for the past three years,
I've been living with an amazing woman,

who I'm still madly in love with.

♪ (music) ♪

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.
