    This may be a weird question, but I couldn't find anything about this anywhere.

    Is it possible to be attracted to the male gender, and is there a name for it? Not necessarily a romantic or sexual attraction...more like being drawn to boys in general. Like boyish features, or always playing as a guy in a video game, or picking out a boy dog at a pet store instead of a girl dog?

    Does that make any sense? I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm attracted to guys before I'm attracted to male sexuality. That's just a bonus that comes from liking boys.

    Is that weird?

    I think you're looking to far into it...I mean there probably IS a word...something latin with -philia on the end but I don't know what it would be off the top of my head...
