Why not "orthosexual?"

[Borachio]

Nah. Friendly will do for that, I think.

 

[Lillefix]

How about humansexual?

Humansexual - attracted to humans.

Humansexual doesn't sound good. We should use the original latin root in stead: Homo.

 

[JohannaK]

Lololol, that's the odd thing about Latin and Greek, ain't it? In any case the current terminology is good enough.

 

[W|M]

Wouldn't it be Anthroposexual?

 

[warpus]

Okay, maybe we have just been looking at this from the wrong angle. Maybe we shouldn't be using Latin or Greek at all.

Maybe we should be using:

Basque: Berasexual
Vietnamese: Nhunhausexual
Albanian: Njejtesexual
Finnish: Samasexual
Italian: Stesssoexual
Azerbaijani - Eynisexual
Hungarian - Ugyanazsexual

I think Hungarian clearly wins

 

[Joecoolyo]

Wouldn't it be Anthroposexual?

Would that apply to all Anthropoids?

 

[W|M]

But Anthropos is Greek for Man, not Primate

 

[Mango Elephant]

how about just "sexual". That sounds sexier than anything else in this thread, tbh.

 

[Joecoolyo]

But Anthropos is Greek for Man, not Primate

Tell that to SCIENCE

 

[Mango Elephant]

I've taken Honors Biology, so I'm pretty much an expert (don't mean to brag).

 

[caketastydelish]

I honestly don't know the answer to the OP's question but for the love of God I hope we stop using "metrosexual" as it's a pointless word that doesn't deserve to exist.

 

[Lillefix]

And for everyone's information: Metro comes from the Greek word for mother.

 

[Borachio]

I didn't know that. Thanks.

So, may I describe myself as Cosmosexual?

edit: Oh no! I thought I was being clever. But I find there is such a word.

How about Mythosexual? (someone who lies about sex) Kryptosexual? (someone who likes sex in private) Kleptosexual? ( someone who likes to steal kisses)

 

[Terxpahseyton]

Humansexual doesn't sound good. We should use the original latin root in stead: Homo.

Also, if it is about what species one digs, and if we dig our own - that would be pretty homo, no?
It also fails to recognize the sufficient dose of liberalism to truly appreciate the flexibility of sexuality, which is evidently moving beyond social conventions,
What for instance about bestiality? It sure isn't appropriate to rape an animal, but you can still have yourself be served without anyone taking harm. If we really want to be rational and compassionate about it - have a heart for our fellow bestiality lovers. On Boston Legal it was claimed studies show 10% have fantasies of the kind. Make loving life forms the term's criteria. So we can all be united in our homosexuality.

 

[strijder20]

Kryptosexual? (someone who likes sex in private)

Uh... The amount of people wanting the opposite is not that large, I hope?

 

[Borachio]

So? The number of kleptosexuals isn't that large either. Are you kryptosexist?

 

[holy king]

apathosexuals - those who dont care about moving around a lot

 

[sophie]

And for everyone's information: Metro comes from the Greek word for mother.

It actually means vagina.

 

[Borachio]

Numerosexuals - prefer to do it by numbers. Musicosexuals - to musical accompaniment.

 

[GoodGame]

Yep, Hello Kitty Vader is why sexual dimorphism evolved.
