Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sexual identity refers to an individual's recognition and acceptance of their own sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes both physiological sex behaviors (such as sexual attractions, desires, and preferences) and cultural gender behaviors (such as dress, behavior, and social roles). While hormonal and biological components may play a role in influencing one's sexual identity, it is ultimately shaped by both individual experiences and cultural norms. Cultural ideals and traits may also impact one's sexual identity, but these are generally understood as part of the gender behaviors encompassed by sexual identity. Institutional norms and gender beliefs may also influence sexual identity, but are generally understood to be part of the broader social context in which sexual identity is formed.
