Sexuality & Attraction Types

A living reference for the full spectrum of human attraction — sexual, romantic, and relational.

Humans are complex. Labels are not one-size-fits-all.

What resonates for one person may not for another — and that's not a flaw, it's the nature of being human. This glossary exists not to define you, but to introduce you to concepts that might help you understand yourself more clearly. What works for someone else may illuminate something in you. Or it may not. Both are useful information.

Self-awareness is not a destination. It is a practice — and it is a gift. The more clearly you know who you are, the more precisely you can identify what you want, what you need, and what kind of connection you're actually seeking. You can only know what you want if you know who you are.

Sexual and romantic attraction can differ — someone may experience one without the other.
Identities can change over time. Fluidity is not indecision — it's evolution.
Labels can help with understanding and community, but they are always optional. You are not required to choose one.
Gaining alignment with yourself is one of the most powerful things you can bring to any relationship.
