Monecious
|
|
Monecious Denoting species in which male and female reproductive organs occur not in two different individuals but in the same individual.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Female
The traditional definition of female was "an individual of the sex that bears young" or "that produces ova or eggs". However, things are not so simple today. Female can be defined by physical appearance, by chromosome constitution (see Female chromosome complement), or by gender identification. Female chromosome complement: The large majority of females have a 46, XX chromosome complement (46 chromosomes including two X chromosomes). A minority of females have other chromosome constitutions such as 45,X (45 chromosomes including only one X chromosome) and 47,XXX (47 chromosomes including three X chromosomes).

It is not surreptitious, as in voyeurism. The reciprocal paraphilic condition is sometimes also referred to as scoptophilia; or by its own name.
Mixoscopia
A paraphilia of the solicitational/allurative type in which sexuoerotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to, and dependent upon watching others engaging in sexual intercourse [from Greek, mixis, intercourse + skopein, to examine] The reciprocal paraphilic condition is autagonistophilia.

Morphodite
Colloquialism for hermaphrodite.
Morphophilia
