#sexual orientation

• Androphilic — A person who exhibits exclusive romantic, aesthetic, or sexual attraction toward adult men or masculinity. In a rare biological or entomological sense, it describes organisms, parasites, or insects that exhibit a structural behavioral preference for male hosts or environments heavily populated by men.
• Asexual — 1. (In biology) Occurring, developing, or reproducing in the absence of sexual processes or male and female sexual cells; reproduction through division, budding, or spores. 2. (In psychology and sociology) Designating a person who experiences no sexual attraction toward any individual, regardless of gender. This structural phenomenon constitutes a legitimate and delicate sexual orientation, distinct from voluntary celibacy or abstinence, focusing instead on non-sexual emotional or romantic connections.
• Asexuality — A complex sexual orientation or psychological characteristic consisting of the persistent absence of sexual attraction toward any individual, regardless of their gender. This structural phenomenon constitutes a legitimate component of human diversity and reflects a delicate emotional balance, being completely distinct from voluntary celibacy, religious abstinence, or physiological dysfunctions.
