User:JupiterboyLuffy/Androsexual

The term Androsexual refers to people who attracted to masculinity, or people who identify as male, regardless of what their biological birth is.

Etymology
"Androsexual" comes from the Greek language. The prefix “andro” means “male,” “sexual” means “sexual attraction,”  and “philic” is related to “with love”. The term androsexual appeared as early as 1997 in a Usenet post by user Starchild0, who was exploring her sexual identity after transitioning to female. The term appeared on Urban Dictionary in 2014, roughly four years before its counterpart, gynesexual—a sexual attraction to femininity regardless of gender identification—made its way to the site.

The first appearance of the word online was in a 1997 Usenet post written by a trans-woman still exploring her sexuality.

Many use the term interchangeably with “androphilic”, but some consider it to be slight differences between the terms. While “androsexual” refers to the attraction towards masculinity, “androphilic” turns towards genital preferences.

It was first defined online in 2014, but due to its rather small community it is not used significantly.
