Heterosociality describes social relations with persons of the opposite sex or preference for such relations, often excluding relationships of a romantic or sexual nature.[1] The opposite is homosociality, preferring relations of those with the same sex. Unlike homosociality, due to the nature, heterosociality can only be used to describe individuals or individual relations. A group of more than two individuals must be either homosocial or bisocial, otherwise the group would be divided with areas of non-interactiveness.[citation needed]
