Sexual Orientation: A Spectrum Of Attraction

[MUSIC PLAYING]

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.
