Describes someone attracted primarily to members of the same sex (homosexual), but occasionally attracted to members of the opposite sex AND/OR able to derive pleasure from romantic encounters with members of the opposite sex.
Homoflexibility is related to, but
different from bisexuality in that homoflexible persons most often identify as gay or
lesbian, despite occasional relations with members of the opposite sex. The term
may sometimes be appropriate as a synonym for bi-curious, where the individual in question is primarily homosexual.
The term "heteroflexible" was
first developed to describe primarily heterosexual persons who occasionally enjoyed hooking up with members of the same sex. "Homoflexible"
later began to be used as a parallel term as defined above.
