Mascsexual
From LGBTQIA
Mascsexual, or massexual, is a sexual orientation describing an individual who is exclusively attracted to individuals with masculine genders or masculine gender presentations regardless of gender identity.
Because mascsexual individuals may experience attraction to individuals regardless of gender identity, mascsexual may be considered a microlabel of pansexual or omnisexual.
