Sexual Preferences:

• These are sexual acts, positions and fantasies that someone prefers to have when engaging in sexual activity. They can take it or leave it however they enjoy it when they do it. This is different than sexual orientation which is one’s identity. Sexual preferences can change over time and one can become more open or closed to certain sexual fantasies, behaviors and acts.

Sexual Behavior:

• Sexual Behavior is any behavior intended to pleasure oneself and/or one’s sexual partner. But the sexual behavior you engage in won’t necessarily reflect your orientation.

Sexual Fantasies:

• Sexual Fantasies are any thoughts and ideas that arouse you. They can be about virtually anything-not just body parts, but clothing and shoes, and even natural objects such as trees and mountains-especially if they remind you of a previous erotic encounter. They can also be romantic-especially for women.

Sexual Identity or Orientation

• Sexual identity or orientation refers to how someone self-identifies, and not how others may categorize them. Some self-identify as heterosexual (straight), gay or lesbian, bi-attractional (bisexual) or questioning (unsure)

In summary, one’s sexual preference takes into account the desired sexual actions and fantasies with a partner. Sexual orientation encompasses a sexual identity with all the thoughts, feelings, fantasies and emotions that cause us to become sexually excited. The decision for how someone self-identifies whether it be straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or questioning is theirs-not someone else’s.
