Str8 No Chaser® Podcast – Episode 3
Sexual Behavior, Orientation & Identity: Not the Same Thing
We assume our sexual behavior, sexual orientation,and sexual identity should always match. And that everyone else’s should match: what we do, what we want, and what we call ourselves. But human sexuality isn’t nearly that neat and tidy. Nor is anything related to mother nature.
In this episode, host Kelvin Blunt unpacks theoften-confused triangle of sexual behavior, sexual orientation, and sexual identity. From Roman emperors to modern-day researchers, we explore whathappens when those lines don’t align, and why it still rattles us.
Featuring insights from Kinsey’s landmarkresearch, Dr. Lisa Diamond, Karen Gee, and Dr. Joe Kort, this episode lays the groundwork for future conversations around labels, fluidity, desire, and societalexpectations.
