What is homosexuality?

Eleanor McKenzie (Sex Expert) gives expert video advice on: How can I tell people close to me that I am gay? and more...

Homosexuality is a sexuality in which you are only attracted to the same sex - for men, in the case of men - an attraction to other men. It's harder to define how that sexuality comes about, or why people are homosexual rather than heterosexual. To define how sexuality arises in anybody is very difficult to define. There are all sorts of theories about whether it is genetic or whether it's just where you're born, or whether it's a choice, or whether it's the result of some kind of trauma. essentially, homosexuality is where a person has a sexual preference for their own gender.
