Answer to Question #305090 in Sociology for Marope Kearabetswe

Question

Distinguish between intersexual and bisexual

Answer 1

Intersex is a group of conditions in which there is a discrepancy between the external genitals and the internal genitals (the testes and ovaries). The older term for this condition is hermaphroditism. Bisexuality on the other hand, can mean different things, and not everyone will agree on a single definition. Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior toward both males and females, or to more than one gender. It may also be defined to include romantic or sexual attraction to people regardless of their sex or gender identity, which is also known as pansexuality. Generally, if someone identifies as bisexual, they feel an attraction to more than one gender.
