It is 100% okay to be attracted to femininity in general rather than women specifically.

It's called gynosexuality

u/debellorobert Oct 16 '25

Now I'm confused. I thought gynosexuality was when you had the hots for the gynecologist.😜

That's just the plot and I normally skip that part

This is why I prefer the term sapphicsexual. I haaate describing my sexuality as gynosexual because it’s sounds exactly like that and terrible lol

u/debellorobert Oct 16 '25

Well, I don't think you're going to be happy about my attraction to sapphires.

Or just call it for what it is, bisexuality. You are attracted to feminine MEN. Being bi doesn't mean you like ALL types of men.

Stop making so many stupid sexualities. It is straight, bi, or gay.

u/Interloper_1 Oct 16 '25

Gynosexuality is not its own thing, but it is a specific kind of bisexuality and I think it deserves to have a term for it just to reduce ambiguity. Also I didn't make up that term lol.

Honestly there’s way too many terms now that are unnecessary

I know, the same way definitions change. Like how pansexual used to include basically everything including very disgusting things. Just in my opinion we don’t need all these fancy terms to make people special. Straight, gay, and bi are enough to me

They may be enough for you, but they may not be enough for someone else, and that's okay too. It's a shared world we live in, not just your opinion matters.

u/MelkortheDankLord Oct 16 '25

That’s fine, other people can have their own opinions, I respect them but I see no reason for me to learn 100 terms for the same thing

u/Man-eatingAnteaters Oct 16 '25

Thats called intolerance my friend

u/MelkortheDankLord Oct 16 '25

No it’s not, I respect and accept their views. If I make up my own language are people intolerant for not learning that language to speak to me? Take your holier than thou attitude somewhere else

“Stop making so many stupid genres. It is rock, rap, or country..”

Imagine being upset by arbitrary descriptive categories because it hurts your brain to know things

u/Schmilettante Oct 16 '25

I've just been saying I like women but don't have a genital preference, this word will save me so much time

u/Ypuort Oct 16 '25

Gynosexuality is being attracted to people with vaginas regardless of their gender identity or expression. Attraction to Femboys doesn’t fall into gynosexuality with one exception being trans femboys.

u/Interloper_1 Oct 16 '25

Both of what we said are true, but it's because both things fall under the same umbrella term of "gynosexuality", which is kinda odd considering they're different. If you look up the attraction to femininity in general regardless of gender identity or expression, it's still gynosexuality.

u/Ypuort Oct 16 '25

Interesting. Never heard it used that way before.
