here is a chart to explain things a bit!



if you can't read that let me type it up for you anything in bold and italics is my commentary:


-sexual orientation: a sexual orientation is whether you feel a sexual attraction to another person or not, and who tou are sexually attracted to. Sexual attraction is the desire to have sexual relations with another person and/or vivid sexual fantasies of said person. Sexual attraction should not be confused with aesthetic attraction (thinking someone looks good but not feeling sexual toward them).


  • heterosexual: being sexually attracted to a different sex and/or gender 
  • homosexual: being sexually attracted to the same sex and/or gender (i am a homosexual)
  • bisexual: being attracted to more than one sex and/or gender
  • pansexual: being sexually attracted to people regardless of sex and.or gender
  • Asexual: does not experience sexual attraction (but can experience aesthetic attraction)
  • demisexual: only experiences sexual attraction after a strong emotional bond has been established.
  • greysexual: only occasionally experiences sexual attraction. 
- romantic orientation: a romantic orientation is whether you experience romantic attraction to another person or not, and to who you experience romantic attraction with. romantic attraction si the desire to be close/intimate with another person but is not necessarily sexual . (THIS EXPLAINS JAKE.)

  • heteromantic: romantically attracted to a different sex and/or gender
  • homoromantic: romantically attracted to the same sex and/or gender
  • biromantic: being romantically attracted to more than one sex and/or gender
  • panromantic: romantically attracted to people regardless of sex and.or gender (me)
  • Aromantic: does not experience romantic attraction
  • demiromantic: only experiences romantic attraction after a strong emotional bond has been established.
  • greyromantic only occasionally experiences romantic attraction
so.... i am homosexual but panromantic.
