Psychosexual segregation refers to the separation of individuals based on their sexual orientations and desires. It is the idea that individuals with different psychosexual orientations, such as heterosexuals, homosexuals, and bisexuals, should be segregated or kept apart from each other in various social or cultural contexts.

This concept has been proposed by some individuals or groups who have strict beliefs or ideologies surrounding human sexuality. These proponents argue that separating individuals based on their psychosexual orientations is necessary to preserve social order, morality, or traditional cultural values. They often view homosexuality or bisexuality as immoral or sinful and believe that separating individuals can prevent same-sex relations or "deviant" behaviors.

However, psychosexual segregation is highly controversial as it promotes discrimination and exclusion based on sexual orientation. It goes against the principles of equality, diversity, and human rights, as it restricts the freedom and rights of individuals to express their sexuality and form relationships with others.

In many countries, psychosexual segregation is considered discriminatory and illegal. Laws and policies have been implemented to protect individuals from discrimination based on their sexual orientation. These legal protections aim to ensure equal rights and opportunities for everyone, regardless of their psychosexual orientation.
