Answer 1

So breaking it down, Pseudosex is a way or act which substitutes/imitates/mimics actual sexual intercourse.

So being pseudosexual is someone or something that relates to the activity of imitating/substituting/mimicking sexual intercourse.

Answer 2

Some other examples of the prefix “pseudo”:

Pseudo-intellectual (someone who acts like an intellectual but is a charlatan)
Pseudo pod (the back “legs” on a caterpillar that aren’t legs at all, but do help them inch along)
Pseudonym (fictitious name, like authors who use a pen name. Aka an alias)
