Backgrounds 
In this website, sexual orientation means:  whether you are attracted to, and / or like to have sex and / or a loving relationship with, a male or a female person. 
This website is about three types of sexual orientation:
    - heterosexuality (sexual attraction towards "the oppositie sex"), 
 
    
    - homosexuality (sexual attraction towards "one owns sex") and 
 
    
    - bisexuality (sexual attraction towards "both sexes").
 
    
  
 
The reason to use quotation marks is that nature is more complicated than most people have learnt:  that there is no clear distinction between "men" and "women" but  that many people are - either 
    - in their genetic constituency, or 
 
    - in their body cells, or 
 
	- in their hormone levels, or 
 
    - in their physical appearance, or 
 
    - in their self-perception, or 
 
    - in their social role, or 
 
    - in the way others perceive them  - 
 
  
somewhere in between the stereotypical man and the stereotypical woman.
