Note
A plural that exists only because sexuality can be counted. Every sense of the noun works both ways. When it means a single quality, as in a person's sexuality, it takes no plural. When orientations or identities are treated as distinct kinds, the plural is natural: a range of sexualities, diverse sexualities. For potency or sexual activity, the singular usually reads better.
