A heterosexual individual attracted to the binary
gender of the opposite
sex but the sexual role of their own
sex. In other words, a male that is attracted to females that prefer to assume a conventionally male, dominant sexual role, or a female who is attracted to males that prefer to assume a conventionally female, submissive sexual role.
Often jokingly dismissed due to its contradictory literal translation as half, doubly sexual, semibisexual describes those with heterosexual binary
gender preferences and conventionally opposite binary sexual preferences. While the
gender preference is heterosexual, the opposing sexual preference merits additional terminology to differentiate heterosexual individuals with conventional sexual preferences from heterosexual individuals with conventionally opposite sexual preferences. Like bisexualism, someone semibisexual is attracted to an aspect from both binary genders. However, semibisexualism also incorporates heterosexual
gender preference. Thus, someone describing themselves in this way can be thought of as half-heterosexual and half-
bisexual, or more simply, semibisexual.
I gave my number to a cute
guy at the
bar whose opening line was asking me to
peg him. He must be semibisexual!
