اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse 'sexuality' with 'sex'. 'Sex' usually means biological category (male/female) or the physical act, while 'sexuality' in this sense is about orientation and identity (straight, gay, etc.). Another common mistake is treating 'sexuality' as countable (✗ 'sexualities' in everyday use). In general English, it is almost always uncountable.

اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use 'sexuality' when they only mean 'sex' as a physical act (✗ 'They had sexuality last night').

Also, 'sexuality' here is usually used in general statements or academic and health contexts, not for single events.
