MOTSS is an initialism used as a term to refer to "Member(s) of the Same Sex" or describe gay or bisexual encounters or relationships. It is possibly derived from the 1970 U.S. Census forms Member Of The Same Sex esp. one considered as a possible sexual partner, a potential or (less often) actual sex partner. For example, the term/phrase "on the down-low" or "on the DL" refers to men who have MOTSS experiences or occasionally sexually prefer MOTSS. Gay men or women prefer MOTSS exclusively. The inverse MOTOS refers to "Member(s) of the Opposite Sex" The acronym is gender and sexual orientation inclusive in sentences like, "Flirting with MOTSS in public can draw unwanted attention," or "There is a strong bias favoring MOTOS relationships." A similar, less-often used term is MOTAS "Member of the Appropriate Sex" to be inclusive of both heterosexual and homosexual relationships. For example, "What would you do with a MOTAS?"
