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:
“Who will in fairest book of Nature know
How virtue may best lodged in beauty be,
Let him but learn of love to read in thee,
Stella, those fair lines which true goodness show.
There shall he find all vices overthrow,
Not by rude force, but sweetest sovereignty
Of reason,”
—Sir Philip Sidney (15541586)
