How does one name the sexual categories of individual in your language?

I'm not sure what you mean... sexual orientations? Preferences? Positions? ;-)
Heh - A number of years ago The New Republic (a center-left political weekly) noted that the Democratic Party planned to set up a committee for something or other, "balanced as to color, gender and sexual preference"; and commented: "Let's see now. Thirty men, thirty women. Forty-eight white, six black, five Hispanic, one Oriental. Fifty-five straight, five gay. Twenty-eight who like to be on top. Thirty-eight who prefer the lights out. ... Sixty who prefer no sex at all to any change in Social Security."
