Very good article that explains the "parts" of one's sexuality. I think loose terms and emotions can get in the way of understanding one's self (and there's not a whole lot of need to understand another, that's their job): http://www.yoursexhealth.org/html/details.php?det=0,2 Everyone is in charge of forming their own sexual identity, nothing is set in stone once and never revisted. One can grow and change sexually just like emotionally, physically, etc.
