Potensexual is an orientation where someone only feels sexual attraction to those who could potentially reciprocate by the definition of their orientation.[1] For example; a potensexual pansexual woman is only attracted to another woman when they know that they are WLW. The romantic equivalent is potenromantic.
It may be seen as the opposite of proculsexual.
