{{Stub}}'''Sexual Orientation''', or '''Sexuality''' is a term, or group of terms, that refers to the gender(s) one feels [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]] to and/or how one feels sexual attraction. Typically, sexual orientation labels are derived using a prefix combined with the suffix "-sexual." For example, [[asexual]], [[bisexual]], [[Straight|heterosexual]], and [[demisexual]] are all examples of sexual orientations. Other labels that do not use the "-sexual" suffix, such as [[gay]], [[lesbian]], [[trixic]], etc., can also be used to describe one's sexuality.
The romantic counterpart is [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]]. For most [[perioriented]] people sexual orientation is the only label used, as one's romantic orientation can be assumed to be the same unless specified otherwise. Though, for [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]], [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]], or otherwise [[varioriented]] people it is often useful to identify with separate sexual and romantic orientations.
