gender-bias

Gender-bias (also synonymous with gender-specific) is used to describe what is really happening when someone states their sexual preference. If straight, a male is biased towards women, and a straight woman is biased towards men. Gay men towards men, etc. Someone who is not gender biased might be bisexual (prefer both sexes), or might be epicene (does not judge based on sex). Someone might have no gender biase in their sexual preference, but might instead decide to impose a gender restriction to their life-style for one reason or another.
'Do you prefer men or women?'

gender restriction

Someone who imposes a sexual preference upon themselves for some outside reason. A person might have no gender-bias, but decides that it might be easier to have and raise children with someone of the opposite sex. This person imposes a gender restriction upon those that they may get involved with.
'I used to see John date men and women until about a year ago, and now he seems to only date women!'
'oh, didn't you hear? he imposed a gender restriction on who he dates because he decided he wants to find someone he can have a biological child with.'
'whoa, I didn't know people could do something like that!'
