Mirrorsexual or Reflectsexual is a label for people who mirror the sexual orientation of someone who they have an important relationship with. This relationship can be platonic, romantic, or another type of relationships. Some examples could include:

Coming out as gay after a friend came out as gay.
Mirroring the orientation of an idol they admire.
Mirroring the orientation of their romantic partner or friend.

After breaking the bond/relationship with the person who was mirrored, some mirrorsexuals may become "mirrorless" until they find someone else of high importance to them. Other mirrorsexuals, may stay with mirroring the sexuality.

The gender counterpart is gendermirror.
