Androsexuality is sexual attraction to men, and its counterpart gynesexuality is attraction to women.
The term androsexuality was originally used to describe age aspect of sexual orientation of male homosexuals. The terms androphilia and gynephilia were also used to distinguish love of adult humans from pederasty and pedosexuality. These describe types of chronosexuality and within that, androsexuality and gynesexuality collectively refer to two variable forms of teleiosexuality.
Later the words androphilia and gynephilia (gynaekophilia) were misused to describe sexual orientation independently of one's sex; this is useful especially for talking about orientation of transsexual people (regardless of which age-range of attraction), as well as for generally studies of attraction to men or attraction to women.
