Androsexual is a sexual orientation to describe an individual who is primarily attracted – sexually, romantically and/or emotionally – to masuclinity, masculine expression, and/or men, regardless of gender identity or whether they were assigned male at birth, and without reference to one’s own gender identity: as such androsexual people may not be heterosexual or homosexual; for example, an androsexual person may be nonbinary, or attracted to those who are on the “masculine spectrum”, regardless of gender and sex.
