The concept of sexuality is capacious and admits of many different conceptions. A widely popular conception is that the concept is socially constructed and, for that reason, contestable and revisable. Dr. Kory Schaff, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Occidental College, distinguishes the ordinary concept of sexuality from this popular conception by isolating sexual orientation as a natural kind from normative confusion about desire, intentions, and behaviors associated with human sexual diversity.
