Nowadays, homosexuality is nothing new in society. In life, due to the lack of awareness of homosexuality among many people, there are misunderstandings about homosexuality and homosexual sexual behavior. Let's clarify the concepts of these two with you to help you solve the mystery in your heart.
The difference between homosexual and homosexual sexual behavior
Generally, what people refer to as homosexuality refers to people who have a homosexual sexual orientation (sexual orientation is a persistent emotional, romantic, and sexual attraction to one or both sexes). Generally speaking, what kind of sexual orientation leads to what kind of sexual behavior. "But if the opposite is said, this proposition does not hold, so sexual orientation and sexual behavior are completely different concepts.".
Sexual orientation is determined at birth, and it is persistent and unchangeable. And sexual behavior is controllable, so a person can have sexual behavior that is not consistent with their sexual orientation. In other words, a person with a heterosexual orientation may be involved in homosexual sexual behavior, while a person with a homosexual orientation may be involved in heterosexual sexual behavior. For example, a person with a homosexual orientation may choose to have sexual relations with the opposite sex or even marry. This only indicates that the object of his sexual behavior is "the opposite sex", and does not mean that his sexual orientation "becomes" the opposite sex orientation.
As many people think in their hearts, some people are homosexual in the military or in schools. Once they leave this environment, they are not homosexual. This is a misconception that simply confuses sexual orientation with sexual behavior. "They just lack the opportunity to contact the opposite sex in a specific environment and engage in sexual behavior between same-sex couples, but their sexual orientation has never changed.".
Generally speaking, most people can clearly know their sexual orientation by the age of 20. However, some people may not suddenly realize their sexual orientation and believe it until they are 40 to 50 years old. These situations are normal. The sooner or later a person becomes aware of their sexual orientation is greatly different from their personal experience, social and cultural environment.
In fact, with the progress and openness of society, more and more same-sex oriented people have realized their sexual orientation earlier and more and more people dare to live in their own lives (or at least within a certain range) with their true nature, which gives the impression of "more and more homosexuals".
After reading the above description, I would like to remind all friends that they must correctly distinguish between homosexual and same-sex sexual behavior, and do not fall into the trap of classifying themselves as homosexual, which affects their physical and mental health.
