The diversity of sexual behavior

Gender and sexual diversity (GSD), or simply sexual diversity, refers to all the diversities of sex
characteristics, sexual orientations and gender identities, without the need to specify each of the
identities, behaviors, or characteristics that form this plurality.

In the Western world, generally simple classifications are used to describe sexual orientation
(heterosexuals, homosexuals and bisexuals), gender identity (transgender and cisgender), and
related minorities (intersex), gathered under the
acronyms LGBT or LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual people, and
sometimes intersex people); however, other cultures have other ways of understanding the sex
and gender systems.[5][6][7] Over the last few decades, some sexology theories have emerged, such
as Kinsey theory and queer theory, proposing that this classification is not enough to describe the
sexual complexity in human beings and, even, in other animal species.

For example, some people may feel an intermediate sexual orientation between heterosexual and
bisexual (heteroflexible) or between homosexual and bisexual (homoflexible).

SOLITARY

solitary sex. A sexual act by a single person, usually private, often understood to mean
masturbation.
It is usually a solitary activity. Along with sexual fantasies, masturbation makes it possible for
a person to get sexual satisfaction without having to rely on someone else and without
engaging in risky behavior. Although many people masturbate, no one has to do it.
The definition of solitary is someone or something that is single, lonely or alone.
An example of solitary is a person living in a large house alone. An example of solitary is one
bird flying in the sky.
