Sexuality / Sexual Nature
The term sexualism has often been used in literature to refer to humanity's sexual nature. The term pansexualism, seen especially in the field of early-20th-century psychoanalysis, was based on this usage. The terms homosexualism and bisexualism were also based on this usage, and were commonly used before the general adoption of the terms homosexuality and bisexuality. The word sexualism is still in use, though often as part of a hyphenated compound word (for example, "anti-sexualism").

Famous quotes containing the word nature:
“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
