An androphilic individual is attracted to males. A gynephilic individual is attracted to females.
Androsexuals are attracted to men; gynosexuals to women.

1Are you sure those are actual words? I couldn't find them in any dictionary besides Urban dictionary. – Rocky DeHart Sep 15 '13 at 19:29

2They are equivalent to ‘androphilic’ and ‘gynophilic’, but they are more commonly used when discussing sexual identities than these. ‘Androphilic’ is more commonly used to describe animals (like mosquitos or ticks) that go for humans rather than other species of animals, but that is unrelated to this question. – Janus Bahs Jacquet Sep 15 '13 at 19:39

Yeah I just found those two terms and posted my own answer before I saw your comment. I understand the validity of your answer now. – Rocky DeHart Sep 15 '13 at 19:50
