Heterosexuals are people who enjoy sex with members of the opposite sex. Based on ones upbringing and culture most find themselves in this catagory when they build a family.
The Heterosexual Orientation
Despite all the theories on heterosexuals vs other sexual preferences, scientist have come to realise sexual orientation is pre-wired into the mind and any sexual preference that falls outside of heterosexuality is not to be considered a ‘deviation’ or ‘perversion’. Most scientists agree that your sexual orientation will be further adjusted based on the interactions between your social life, genetic make up, and mental clearaty (how drunk/high you are).
There are also a large range of sexual behaviors that don’t fit with conservative views of heterosexuality, and that are often incorectly associated only with homosexuality. This includes anal sex and metrosexuality, and doesnt even start to touch on fetishes like auto-eroticism, bondage, cross-dressing, dominance, erotic fantasy, role-playing, pet-play, polyamourism, voyeurism, swinging, group sex, pornography, submission, sadism and masochism. These are all practices heterosexuals enjoy but tend raise eyebrows in traditional circles. I hope this illistrates fully the fact that humans are sexual and their desire to express it can be seen to show many variations regardless of their gender or orientation.
The Acceptability of Heterosexuality
many people feel threatened when defined boundaries are challenged. The idea of proper male or female sexual preferences naturaly creates a strong set of gender-based expectations and stereotypes. Some people even adopt a particular social gender, one that is more suitable to the established norms in their part of the world. However what they do in private can be a somewhat different lifestyle.
