different between retrosexuality vs retrosexual

A man who embraces traditional masculinity in his dress and behavior.
- 2010 April 7, Lini S. Kadaba, Philadelphia Inquirer:
  Think of him as the anti-metrosexual, the opposite of that guy who emerged in the 1990s in all his pedicured, moussed-up, skinny-jeans glory. That man-boy was searching for his inner girl, it was argued. The retrosexual, however, wants to put the man back into manhood.
(humorous) One who has not had sex in a very long time.
It's been so long I've become a retrosexual.
