Freesexuality

Freesexuality is defined as "A person who is able to; feel erotic fantasies and attraction towards or to engage in sexual interaction with another individual, independent of the other individuals; sex, colour or other origins, and who does not accept to be labeled as i.e. heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. A freesexual person is recognized as an individual free from prejudice and aversion regarding any consensual and loving sexual interaction."
Overview
Freesexuality refers to individuals who do not support the idea of the binary categories (hetero- and homosexual) as being the essential categories. This view also rejects bisexuality as an intermediate state, or a developmental stage on a path towards «fitting into» either of the two binary sexualities. Finally this view does not support the idea of bisexuality as an additional third essential sexuality.
However, it may well turn out that bisexuality is the essential human sexuality. A substantial amount of research supports this hypothesis; historical, zoological), anthropological, etnografical, psychological and sexological. In that case, we are talking about only one category (The Category) whereas all other predominant expression of sexuality should be coined paraphilias, shaped by; religious, cultural, social, psycho-social and psychological influences.
Sexological research suggests that paraphilias are the result of early childhood influences and experiences, thus learned. Some sexologists compares this with a child's language-learning; once it's learned it become so deeply embedded that it's difficult to rid (one can, however, learn additional languages).
However, homosexuality and heterosexuality are both constructions from the 19th century. The terms were first mentioned in 1863 by the Austrian scholar Maria Kertbeny, and later (1886) adopted by the scientist and sexologist Richard von Krafft-Ebing.
Krafft-Ebing transformed «homosexuality» into a medical diagnosis whereas heterosexuality was established as the norm.
In this dichotomic binary view, bisexuality was considered an «identity-disorder», a developmental-stage arrest according to psychoanalytical theory, (who also, along with Stekel, Moll and many other scientists, acknowledged bisexuality as inherent in all children).
The categories of homo- and heterosexuality eventually developed into identities with a host of different behavioral characteristics attached to them.
Indeed, the whole idea about these sexual categories, are nothing but cultural constructions, which in the process of time for many have become «truths» (and golden cages) for some, but categorical prisons for others.
