Long Description

This clip begins with a discussion of sexual orientation, explaining that sexual orientation is about emotional and physical attraction. Thus heterosexuals are emotionally and physically attracted to the opposite sex, homosexuals to the same sex and bisexuals to both. A psychologist explains that sexual behavior may not always reflect sexual orientation, particularly when homosexuality is widely disapproved of. The existence of sexuality through the life span is discussed. A psychologist explains that it is only our "ageism" that makes us uncomfortable with the thought of older people being sexual. The clip then profiles a couple, both of whom are in non-traditional occupations for their gender.
