0:00:00.819,0:00:05.629
Gender and sexuality are two concepts [br]that are incredibly individualized

0:00:05.830,0:00:09.164
and so it shouldn't be surprising [br]that they are so complex.

0:00:09.650,0:00:12.342
It can be hard to navigate [br]the world of sexuality

0:00:12.461,0:00:14.484
due to the different terms and labels.

0:00:14.850,0:00:17.599
This video aims [br]to help you navigate this world

0:00:17.734,0:00:20.335
by arming you [br]with some definitions and examples

0:00:20.532,0:00:22.152
of 10 different sexualities,

0:00:22.290,0:00:24.409
some of which [br]you might not even know about.

0:00:25.440,0:00:27.326
1. Bisexuality

0:00:27.629,0:00:31.677
The definition for bisexuality [br]is actually something that's debated.

0:00:32.030,0:00:35.752
Originally, the standard definition [br]was attraction to both genders

0:00:36.120,0:00:38.875
However, as understanding [br]of gender has evolved,

0:00:38.997,0:00:42.577
people have argued [br]for an evolved definition of bisexuality.

0:00:42.960,0:00:46.504
Some use the definition of attraction [br]to your own and other genders

0:00:46.597,0:00:49.923
to incorporate non-binary genders [br]within its definition.

0:00:50.250,0:00:52.798
Some famous examples [br]of people who are bisexual

0:00:52.889,0:00:55.494
are Brandon Urie [br]from the band Panic! at the Disco,

0:00:55.577,0:00:57.417
and actress Angelina Jolie.

0:00:58.400,0:01:00.290
2. Homosexuality

0:01:00.570,0:01:03.757
This is one of the terms [br]that most people tend to be familiar with,

0:01:03.903,0:01:05.933
it means attraction to one's own gender

0:01:06.059,0:01:08.634
and is sometimes [br]referred as gay or lesbian.

0:01:08.930,0:01:10.220
Famous examples include

0:01:10.275,0:01:13.325
comedian Alan Carr [br]and presenter Sue Peterson.

0:01:14.500,0:01:16.280
3. Heterosexuality

0:01:16.650,0:01:20.214
Heterosexuality is probably [br]the most well-known sexuality

0:01:20.322,0:01:23.520
and whether right or wrong [br]it is often thought of as the default.

0:01:23.820,0:01:25.769
This is known as heteronormativity.

0:01:26.119,0:01:28.659
It means attraction [br]to genders other than your own,

0:01:28.960,0:01:32.157
it's most commonly used [br]to refer to binary genders.

0:01:33.359,0:01:35.139
4. Pansexuality

0:01:35.590,0:01:39.119
Pansexuality is defined [br]as an attraction to all genders

0:01:39.499,0:01:41.437
Some say those who are pansexual

0:01:41.472,0:01:44.192
don't care about gender [br]when it comes to their attraction

0:01:44.269,0:01:46.318
though, not all agree [br]with this assessment.

0:01:46.659,0:01:50.988
Some people also use this sexuality [br]and bisexuality interchangeably.

0:01:51.370,0:01:54.450
Miley Cyrus is a notable person [br]who is pansexual.

0:01:55.560,0:01:57.429
5. Polysexuality

0:01:57.769,0:02:02.199
Polysexuality refers to people [br]who are attracted to two or more genders

0:02:02.469,0:02:06.999
typically bisexuality and pansexuality[br]are types of polysexuality,

0:02:07.300,0:02:10.429
though not all people [br]who are polysexual use these terms.

0:02:11.700,0:02:13.550

It refers to those who don't experience [br]sexual attraction to any gender.

0:02:21.680,0:02:25.349
This doesn't mean, however, [br]that they never have relationships or sex

0:02:25.454,0:02:27.764
which are common myths about asexuality.

0:02:28.150,0:02:30.150

0:02:35.750,0:02:37.900
7. Grey-asexuality

0:02:38.190,0:02:40.467
This is similar to the previous sexuality,

0:02:40.720,0:02:44.005
however, instead of never [br]experiencing sexual attraction

0:02:44.077,0:02:48.117
someone who is grey-sexual [br]may rarely experience sexual attraction.

0:02:48.450,0:02:51.170
They are still valid [br]under the asexuality umbrella

0:02:51.325,0:02:54.105
despite occasionally [br]experiencing sexual attraction.

0:02:55.170,0:02:57.010
8. Demisexuality

0:02:57.350,0:03:01.679
Demisexuality again can technically [br]fall under the asexual umbrella,

0:03:02.059,0:03:05.249
people who are demisexual [br]do experience sexual attraction

0:03:05.430,0:03:08.270
but only after [br]an emotional connection is created.

0:03:08.610,0:03:11.696
They wouldn't find a stranger [br]on the street sexually appealing

0:03:11.803,0:03:13.613
but after they get to know them well,

0:03:13.686,0:03:16.166
the possibility [br]of sexual attraction is there.

0:03:16.470,0:03:21.790
Demisexuality is considered halfway[br]between asexuality and allo-sexuality

0:03:21.920,0:03:23.920
those who experience sexual attraction.

0:03:25.050,0:03:27.000
9. Androsexuality

0:03:27.275,0:03:31.485
Androsexuality is a sexuality [br]that outside of LGBTQ circles

0:03:31.577,0:03:33.156
is not well known at all.

0:03:33.410,0:03:37.459
It refers to someone who is attracted [br]to a masculine gender presentation,

0:03:37.820,0:03:42.550

0:03:43.590,0:03:45.480

0:03:45.850,0:03:49.660
