Gnostisexual 

/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.

agnostisexual 

A person who has sexual drive and the inclination to find love and sexual gratification, yet is entirely perplexed by the sea of sexual opportunities available to them, or is otherwise non-committal to their sexual identity.

Often functionally asexual or mistaken as bisexual, an agnostisexual isn't strictly speaking either. Unlike the Asexual, the agnostisexual is capable of experiencing sexual attraction and not repulsed, though many asexuals may simply not achieve sexual encounters because their conflict prevents them from doing so. Unlike the Bisexual, the agnostisexual isn't certain that they are attracted to both sexes, they're just open to the possibility that they could be.

Agnostisexuality may be the result of an adverse reaction to a individual's true sexuality (such as the 'gay-man in denial' scenario). It may also be the result of an individual's inability to discern the meanings of certain feelings that result from reactions with other people. Alternatively, the agnostisexual may simply have other problems that make exploring the sexuality problematic or secondary. A classic example of this later scenario would be the transgendered individual who has especial difficulty defining their sexual orientation to themself and to others because the gender stand-point they hold is itself wavering and complicated.

Agnostisexuals may chose celibacy as a result of their internal conflict, or they may alternatively go from partner to partner looking for 'the answer'. Like religious agnostics, sexual agnostics are always aware that they are NOT aware of this answer. For many, agnostisexuality is a transitionary phase between the more stable orientations of a-, bi-, hetero- and homosexuality.

Alex, unwilling or unable to admit that she was attracted to Zoe despite their intimacy was jokingly referred to as 'agnostisexual Alex' by her co-workers.

Agnostisexual 

A term that describes people who can only feel sexual or romantic attraction to people who do not reveal their sexual identity.

The prefix agnosti- is rooted in lacking knowledge. An agnostisexual is romantically or sexually attracted to living in a world of mystery. Ignorance is bliss to an agnostisexual.

Agnostisexual people are so weighed down with all the knowledge that they have of the world and they find comfort and peace in not knowing.

With the many sexual identities that are out there, the agnostisexual person feels overwhelming anxiety and responsibility in respectfully addressing and responding to other people's sexual identities. Because of this worry, they lose their sexual attraction to people when they learn of someone's sexual identity.

So long as the agnostisexual is enshrouded in the mystery of someone's sexual identity, they can feel a sexual or romantic connection.

It's hard being agnostisexual these days because so many people have their sexual identity in their bio.
