==Terminology== The current use of the term ''heterosexual'' has its roots in the broader 19th century tradition of personality taxonomy. It continues to influence the development of the modern concept of [[sexual orientation]], and can be used to describe individuals' sexual orientation, sexual history, or self-identification. Some reject the term "heterosexual" as the word only refers to one's sexual behavior and does not refer to non-sexual romantic feelings. As a result, the terms ''straight'' is sometimes preferred when discussing a person of this [[sexual orientation]], whose sexual history is predominated by this behavior, or who identifies as such, and to differentiate with other sexual orientations that strangely lack the intuitively suggested term "bent". Some opposite-sex oriented people personally prefer the term "heterosexual" rather than "straight", as they may perceive the former as describing a sexual orientation and the latter as describing a cultural or socio-political group with which they do not identify.{{Fact|date=January 2008}} The term "''heterosexual''" is suggested to have come into use as a [[neologism]] after, and opposite to the word "homosexual" by [[Karl Maria Kertbeny]] in 1868.
