Often when filling out different forms and first of all on the dating site on the page, you need to fill in the orientation field. The site offers three options: hetero-, bi- and homo-. Heterosexuality implies choosing a representative of the opposite sex as a sexual partner.
Orientation hetero - how to understand this?
Despite the fact that annually the number of same-sex couples increases, most people in the world are heterosexual. They experience a romantic, emotional and erotic attraction to the opposite sex.
To understand what it means, hetero-orientation, scientists in different parts of the world conducted research. This topic was first touched upon by Richard Kraft-Ebing. The scientist put forward the hypothesis that heterosexuality is a kind of instinct in living beings, since it is he who allows one to continue the genus. Studies of another scientist Kinsey allowed sexual orientation to be divided into subtypes.
Many scientists, understanding the meaning of heterogeneous orientation, argue that it is laid in a person at the genetic level, but there is also a version that it is formed during life, namely in the process of education.
As already mentioned, apart from heterosexual orientation, there are both bi- and homosexuals. Let's talk about this in more detail:
- Bisexuality is an orientation that implies the presence of attraction, both to a man and to a woman.
- Homosexuality is an orientation that presupposes the existence of feelings for persons of their own sex.
Today, the issue of recognizing other sex orientations other than heterosexuality is quite acute. In some countries, for example, in America, even the registration of same-sex marriages was officially permitted. The opposite situation in the Russian Federation, where in 1999 a decree was issued, that heterosexuality is the norm, and other sexual preferences are deviations.
How to determine the sexual orientation of hetero, bi and homo?
Since sexual orientation is multidimensional and changeable, not all people can accurately determine their belonging. With this task will help cope with the grip of sexual orientation Klein.
To measure their sexual orientation, it is necessary in three time dimensions: the past (5 years ago), the present (the last year) and the ideal future, to estimate seven parameters
:- Sexual attraction - representatives of what sex cause more excitement.
- Sexual behavior - with representatives of what sex committed different sexual acts: kissing, having sex, etc.
- Sexual fantasies - representatives of what sex you usually represent in your erotic fantasies, as well as whom you think about during self-gratification.
- Emotional preferences - with which people like to be friends, to maintain relationships, to share the hidden things, etc.
- Social preferences - with representatives of what sex it is easier to find contact in everyday life: work, communicate, spend leisure time.
- With representatives of which orientation, you mostly spend your free time: with homo-, hetero- or bisexual people.
- Self-identification - what kind of orientation do you consider yourself.
Take a sheet of paper, divide it into three columns: the past, the present, and the future . After that, fill in each of them seven lines on these readings. As a result, in the 21 cells, numbers from 0 to 6 should be written.
Decoding of answers:
- 0 - only people of the opposite sex;
- 1 - mostly people of the opposite sex, but sometimes their own;
- 2 - the opposite sex predominates, but people of the same sex also play an important role;
- 3 - the same to both, and the opposite sex;
- 4 - value 2, but vice versa;
- 5 - value 1, but vice versa;
- 6 - only people of their sex.
You need to calculate the amount for each column, and then divide the obtained value by 3. After that, add the results of each column, and divide the result by 21.
