Here's an interesting perspective from Professor John Money:

Single term ... Sexology

p. 4:

If there were a single term with which to denote the sexology of homosexuality, heterosexuality, and bisexuality, that would be the term for the title of this book, for the understanding and explanation of any one of the three applies to the other two as well.
