As Fandom explains, almondsexual individuals often have a consistent preference: they’re mainly attracted to masculine or neutral presentations, with attraction to feminine presentations being less frequent or intense. Some may still identify as bisexual or pansexual, while others feel almondsexual fits their experience better.
The term itself is extremely recent, emerging in 2023 from a Tumblr user named genderstarbucks. Its counterpart, berrisexual, describes the inverse pattern: primary attraction to feminine and androgynous genders.
In a landscape where sexual identity continues to expand, almondsexuality shows how nuanced attraction can be—and how people are finding new ways to define it for themselves.
