/ˈnästisɛkʃuəl/ or /ˈnästɪsɛkʃuəl/
A term that describes
people who feel sexual or romantic attraction only after a person reveals their sexual identity. Additionally, they have a preference, and that can be
one, multiple, or all sexual identities.
In that regard, there are three distinct kinds of gnostisexual
people: monognostisexual for
one sexual identity, polygnostisexual for multiple sexual identities, and pangnostisexual for all sexual identities.
Note: Pangnostisexual is the antonym to an agnostisexual person, a person who can only feel sexual or romantic attraction to
people who do not reveal their sexual identity.
The prefix gnosti- is rooted in having
knowledge. A gnostisexual is romantically or sexually attracted and excited to knowing a person's sexual preference. Some gnostisexuals like to know that they are an exception to someone's interests. Knowledge of someone's sexual identity is key to a gnostisexual.
Jared is gnostisexual towards straight men, so when he found out
Bobby was straight, he wanted to
try to get with him.
