Minsexual is the exclusive attraction to those who are masculine in nature (MIN), in their gender and/or their presentation. This means minsexual individuals are attracted to men, masculine-aligned and/or presenting non-binary individuals, and potentially masculine women. Minsexual is not synonymous with the attraction to men, as it is the attraction to masculinity.
A minsexual individual might be attracted to a woman or a non-binary individual who presents masculinely. A minsexual individual may or may not be attracted to men who present femininely or are androgynous. The exact limits of what is "masculine in nature" can be decided by the user. The term was made with non-binary individuals in mind but binary individuals can use it.
Its feminine counterpart is finsexual, its non-binary/neutral counterpart is ninsexual, and its -romantic counterpart is minromantic.
