I'm up way past my bedtime but I happened to catch this segment on onstyle channel. It's in Korean so I'm not quite sure what it could possibly mean.
Heterosexual
Homosexual
Metrosexual
Contrasexual??
Any ideas? |

Or maybe somebody who is opposed to sex? |

Its a woman who's uninterested in marraige and children but would rather focus on her career. |

there is too much "sex" going around...
I think the best is "buysexual"- which is, if a girl buys something for me, I get sexual.  |

It's about Korean girls who watch sex & the city and dream about becoming the carrie bradshaw of Seoul

Hahahaahahahaha! Brilliant! I can be down with that....
Ok...a woman focused on her career....
I suppose that makes sense since they were showing women who were news anchors and such....
What does the contra mean in contrasexual? Well...I looked up contra and got:
1 AGAINST -- used chiefly in the phrase pro and contra
2 : in opposition or contrast to
Yikes....Against sex....against the stereotyping of your respective sex? Who in the bloody hell picked this phrase??
Thanks for the new info....And Peachgaru, since you are still in the U.S., can you tell me if this phrase is used in the U.S.? |

a man...a happy bachelor.... Don't know really...
There's nothing unusual about that. Besides, whose to say a guy like that hasn't knocked someone up along the way?
But a woman not interested in marriage and family warrants a new catch phrase..... |

I just looked it up: basically it's a woman who isn't interested in babies or finding Mr. Right, etc. So, it's a woman with the sexual values of a loose guy. |

But that can't be the Korean definition....can it?
I mean...I don't think Koreans value "sluttiness" or sexual liberation in women. I saw this on a Korean program on ONStyle channel, so hence the question.... |

So if a man or woman decide they don't want children or don't want to get married, they are considered "loose"? |
