Sexuality is extremely open to interpretation. Some see sexuality as who you're willing to fall in love with, rather than who you're attracted to.
I'm curious as to what the general consensus is.

I've always thought of sexuality as a matter of attraction, not emotion.
I, myself have been in love with a guy, but I still consider myself a lesbian because I wasn't physically attracted to him. I don't usually understand why a lot of people say that they'd fall in love with a person, not a gender, but I just don't see how you can have an affective relationship when there's no physical attraction. And that's not to say that it's impossible, I just personally couldn't do it.

What defines sexuality? From a stand point of looking at different situations you can see that in the case of a man and a woman it is the inside urge to be attracted to someone. The more natural instinct that we have deep inside that drives us the think, react different, and communicate with people of the same sex and people of the different sex. With people who are attracted to same sex people, there is that same urge, I am guessing, inside them that drives them to feel the same way that a person who likes opposite sex does. So all in all my philosophy on "What defines sexuality?" would be the instinct that one person has towards another person, being same sex or opposite, to make them feel, think, and act in certain ways that would attract them to the person and the person to them.

Hmmmmm.....
Sexuality is to me a blend of things...it is a way I "carry" myself as a women. I wear many hats and am therefore many things...and I am comforatble with myself. It has to do in part with the balance I feel at my core... assured in my feminitiy when I want to be feminine. It has everything to do with who I am as a person...being in tune with myself and knowing my body..my mind...feeling and reaching out with invisable antenna...it is feeling my own electrical sexual circuitry and being in tune with it. The greatest sex is had when you are one to be two and two to be one and can be in each others head and heart! The greatest orgasams come from being real and genuine...trusting in the each other...if you can achieve this oneness...then just a touch can send you! To have it that way is to accept yourself and your lover for who he is or perhaps she.... If you can have that mesh or blending of yourselves that comes from trust of who you are sexually....you are right that it is both attraction and emotion! We run off our emotional intelligene when it comes to loving...when you use logic you spend to much time thinking whenit comes to love...loving...where you give in to feeling and the raw emotions that come...the edge emotions that electrify...there is a lot to be said about a little less talk and a lot more action...long foreplay teaches us about our sexuality...and how to feel it... Well....it is late...being who we are matters most and allowing who we love to be themselves.....it is knowing that change is constant....that we are all on a learning curive...and not all at the same point at the same time!
