Abstract
Current definitions and conceptualizations of sex, gender, and sexuality lack suffcient subtlety to adequately describe the full range of human sexuality. A taxonomy of gendered sexuality is developed which better defines terms relevant to human sexuality and more fully takes into account the interplay over time among sex, gender, and sexual fantasies, desires, practices of persons in intimate relationships at both the level of self-identity and attribution by others. The proposed taxonomy starts with classifications based on the genetic sexes of persons in relationships and combines them with categorizations based on those persons' social genders to arrive at classifications of gendered sexuality. The terminology used is drawn from everyday language. Examples are provided to illustrate the application of the taxonomy. The proposed taxonomy may be used for descriptive, diagnostic, or theoretical purposes.
