Types of sexuality and how they differ.
In the late 40s of the 20th century, the American sexologist Alfred Charles Kinsey developed a scale for measuring sexual orientation. In it, “0” designated 100% heterosexuality, “6” – homosexuality, a gap from 1 to 5 included those people who noted the attraction to both floors. Moreover, each person at different moments of life can change sexuality. Later he also added the concept of “asexuality”.
However, Kinsey was unlikely to think that after 50 years there would be such a variety of orientations and identities that simply would not fit into the framework of this scale. According to the sexologist Nikki Goldstein, this is due to the fact that modern young people have more contact with themselves than the previous generation.

Allosexual
This is a form of sexual attraction to anyone, regardless of gender. Would you like to meet men, women or both – this orientation is the opposite of asexuality.
Abrosexual
The sexual preferences of a person are unstable, and their intensity, like themselves, can change over time. There is no framework when and how often an abrosexual can change its orientation.
Asexual
For such people, sex simply does not matter much, they are not interested in it. Previously, psychiatrists attributed the lack of such a desire to “disorder sexual behavior”, but at present, asxuality is already considered the norm. And by research of scientists, about 3% of the population of the planet do not feel sexual drive to anyone.
At the same time, asxual can have a friendly or romantic relationship, have sex for the birth of children.

This person does not matter what gender or orientation he is sexually or romantically attracted by masculinity: body structure, clothing or shoes for men.

Autosxual (autosaexal) and auto -dentism
