* Allosexual

### Allosexual

Allosexual refers to those who are not on the asexual spectrum. In other words, it describes someone who regularly experiences sexual attraction to others. But it does not necessarily refer to a sexual identity by itself. It is an umbrella term created by the a-spec community as a way to describe anyone who's not asexual, in the same way transgender individuals use the term cisgender to refer to someone who is not transgender.

### Alloromantic

Alloromantic is a term that describes individuals who are not on the aromantic spectrum. Historically within ace communities, the word **romantic** has also been used to describe alloromantic individuals (e.g. romantic aces).
Geniace

**Geniace** (*pronounced jen-ee-ace*) is a term on the asexual spectrum in which an individual is alright with most or all sexual interaction, so long as it is unrelated to their genitals. Upon their genitals being touched they may feel disgusted, turned off, and/or disinterested.

This may also include their partner's genitals, depending on the individual and their personal experience with this label. This term is not a sexuality in of itself, but is rather a sexual modifier; for example, one may be polysexual and geniace.

Some reasons why this may occur include, but are not limited to...

* Sexual trauma
* Medical-related issues
* Dysphoria that is influenced or intensified by genitals
* Sex repulsion (but only towards their own/their partners genitals.)
* Body dysmorphia

Similar terms include Agensexual, Bottoace, inferiace, and pectussexual.
Pseudosexual

**Pseudosexual** or **senssexual** is a microlabel for individuals on the asexual spectrum who experience a tertiary physical attraction which mimics sexual attraction. These asexuals experience strong physical attraction (such as aesthetic attraction or sensual attraction) to a specific individual(s) but lack the intrinsic desire to commit sexual acts with that individual(s). For example, being a Pan oriented Pseudosexual. Pseudosexual can also fall under the black stripe asexual umbrella.

Some common pseudosexual experiences might include:

* Experiencing aesthetic- and/or sensual-based sexual arousal towards an individual without a drive to commit sexual acts with them.
* Enjoying or being aroused by erotic content or fantasies about individuals but being uninterested in sexual activity with the individuals.
* Experiencing a libido spike caused by viewing or otherwise sensing an individual but lacking sexual attraction towards the individual.
* Experiencing aesthetic or sensual attraction so strongly it overwhelms any potential sexual attraction.
Breace

**Breace** (*pronounced bray-ace or brace*) is a term on the asexual spectrum in which an individual is alright with most or all sexual interaction, so long as it is unrelated to their breasts. Upon their breasts being touched they may feel disgusted, turned off, and/or disinterested.

This may also include their partner's breasts, depending on the individual and their personal experience with this label. This term is not a sexuality in of itself, but is rather a sexual modifier; for example, one may be pansexual and breace.

Some reasons why this may occur include, but are not limited to...

* Sexual trauma
* Medical-related issues
* Dysphoria that is influenced or intensified by breasts
* Sex repulsion (but only towards their own/their partners breasts.)
* Body dysmorphia

A similar term to this includes lekanisexual and sumitace.

## History

This term was coined by Cryptocrew, specifically Angel, on May 6th of 2021. It was coined through this page, and has no outside resources.
Esthesiosexual

**Esthesiosexual** is an ace-spec identity in which one desires a relationship with non-intercoursal sexual activities, it does not involve direct penetration, rather, they prefer outercourse, or sensual actions/intentions.

## History

The term was possibly coined by Tumblr user The SAGA-Saurus on December 12, 2016.

## Flag

The esthesiosexual was designed by Tumblr user aceruskaroma/Abrosexual Ruska Roma on December 16, 2020. The new flag was created because the designer hated the original. The color meanings are the following: The light-medium magenta at top stands for sensuality. The light teal stands for being at peace with your identity. The medium teal stands for unity. The purple stands asexual community.

The original flag was created by Tumblr account The SAGA-Saurus on December 12, 2016. The flag seems to have been inspired by the asexual flag, but this is unconfirmed and the flag has no confirmed meaning.

## Etymology

Esthesio- in Latin means “touch.” The prefix can also mean "sensation" or "perception."
Coeosexual

**Coeosexuality** is a sexual orientation where you only feel sexual attraction to someone if you developed that feeling upon meeting them the first time, and is similar to the concept of "Love at First Sight".

Coeosexual people can develop romantic or sexual feelings for people they had not met before, although these feelings may be fleeting, or not strong enough to warrant a relationship. Coeosexual people are prone to intense crushes with people they barely know that can be as intense as an attraction someone has developed over years. Coeosexual people will often be disappointed or distraught if a person they love does not love them back. When they develop an attraction for someone, it is highly unlikely it will ever go away.

Coeosexual, similar to demisexual, falls on the asexual spectrum and is essentially the opposite of demisexual.

Coeosexual is derived from the Latin word "Coeo", which means "Meet, Unite, or Have Connection".

The Person who designed the Flag and Created the Term Coeosexuality is known on Reddit as Sirpurple04 (and on many other platforms as variations of this name).

## Flag

The meaning of the colors:

* The Pink symbolizes Passion
* The Blue-Grey symbolizes Uninterest
* The Purple symbolizes the fact that both of these feelings can be felt by the same person
* and The White Symbolizes a "Blank Slate"
Akoisexual

**Akoisexual** (more commonly called **lithosexual**) is a sexual orientation on the Asexual spectrum. Someone who is akoisexual may experience sexual attraction but does not want it reciprocated. The akoisexual individual may be uncomfortable at the thought of someone being sexually attracted to them, or they may lose their sexual feelings if they learn it's reciprocated. As such, akoisexuals do not feel compelled to seek out a sexual relationship. Like with any sexual orientation, akoisexuals can have any romantic orientation.

Akoisexual can be a sexual orientation on its own or can combined with other orientations. For example, one could be akoisexual and heterosexual, meaning that when one does experience sexual attraction it's only towards individuals of the opposite gender.

## History

Due to a claim of appropriating lesbian culture some individuals have attempted to replace the term lithosexual with akoisexual. This is due to the fact that *litho-* means "stone". In the lesbian community a stone lesbian is a lesbian who is okay with being the giver of sex acts, but not with being the receiver of sex acts. Because of that "lithosexual" could potentially be interpreted as being related to this term.

There has not been any consensus about the term, both in the asexual and lesbian community. There is no apparently evidence that the specific term "lithosexual" was ever commonly used by lesbians. Currently lithosexual and akoisexual are used interchangeably.

Demifictosexual

**Demifictosexual**, or **demi-fictosexual**, is a microlabel under the fictosexual and demisexual umbrella that describes an individual that doesn't feel sexual attraction towards a fictional character unless they've formed a strong, emotional bond with that character. This does not guarantee that an attraction will occur, but it is a requirement.

## History

It's unknown when the term **demifictosexual** was coined.

But the first flag was created by a deactivated user named Clysmic-Aesthetic360 in 2019 on deviantART as a set of stamps that could be used. https://www.deviantart.com/littlesunset264/art/LGBT-Stamps-Demi-Fictosexual-810047574

Blanksexual

**Blanksexual** is a state of sexuality only experienced by abrosexual individuals in which one has a sexuality that is "blank," where one does not feel attraction towards any genders. This is different from asexuality as it is not a lack of sexual attraction, but a "misplaced" attraction. This can either be between sexuality fluctuations or a sexuality itself.

It is a microlabel of abrosexual.

## History and flag

The term Blanksexual was coined by FANDOM user Literallynotgod on 23 August 2021. It has no outside sources. Even though it is not confirmed, since the term has no outside sources, the flag could be made by the coiner.

You are repulsed, but on rare occasions you stop feeling repulsed or feel repulsed less for a short time. After these periods of time, the person returns to being repulsed.

## Etymology

Noetisexual

**Noetisexual** is a term for when one is only attracted to those they are mentally connected to. It can be considered an alternative to sapiosexual, though it is not purely based on intelligence. It is based on appreciating and being interested in one's opinions, point of view, perception of reality, how they see the world, and how their mind works. One may be attracted to someone based on shared perspectives, the ways their mind work together, the way the other person creates and hold space for them or others, or to the shape of your mental landscape. It may or may not be influenced by one's neurodivergence.

The knowing someone in a noetic way is noetilinking. It can involve sharing and co-creating noetiscapes, building worlds together, expressing oneself fully with another in ways not limited to or by sexuality and romance.

It can also be described as someone who does not experience sexual and/or romantic attraction to someone until they experience noetic or mental attraction to them. The term may or may not be considered part of the asexual spectrum, as well as somewhat connected to demisexuality.

## History and flag

Noetisexual was coined on October 28, 2016 by Michon Neal. The flag was created at the same time. Black relates to the hidden, the secretive and the unknown. It relates to how the way one’s mind works is ambiguous, a mystery. White relates to the openness that one is looking for; to learn more about that mystery that is one’s significant others’ mind. Tan is for the stability in a closeness between people who have an attraction to the others’ mind.

Flectic

**Flectic** is a form of tertiary attraction where one experiences attraction that is best described as changing based on the nature of a relationship. For example, someone flectically attracted to a friend would know that if they dated said friend, they would develop romantic attraction. Flectic attraction, by nature, changes with dynamic. If flectic attraction doesn't change, for example, still feeling romantic attraction after breaking up, it may no longer be considered flectic.

A flectic person may experience attraction similar to alterous attraction, the main difference being that flectic attraction can change to and from alterous. Flectic individuals may identify as demisexual in some form, as recipromantic, or reciprosexual. Flectic attraction is its own form of attraction, and may be associated with other orientations, though it was originally intended as an a-spec identity. It may be used alongside or interchangeably with similar a-spec labels.

Someone who one is in a flectic relationship with could be called a flecfriend. A flectic crush is called a fleck.

Demiflectic

**Demiflectic** is a form of flectic attraction where one does not feel flectic attraction until an emotional bond has been established. The connection can be romantic, platonic, or any other form of bond. Forming an emotional bond with someone does not mean that one is automatically attracted to said person, as it just means there's now a possibility for one to feel attraction.

Demiflectic can be considered a flectic orientation on its own or can be combined with other orientations. For example, one could be demiflectic and biflectic (demibiflectic), meaning that when one does experience flectic attraction they can experience it towards two or more genders.

## History

The term flectic along with its flag were both coined by Twitter user sol\_v\_diaz on July 12, 2021.

## Flag

The flectic flag was created July 12, 2021. It has a white sideways triangle and five stripes, resembling the demi flags. Muted colors represent potential for each attraction, green representing romance, blue for fluidity and alterous attraction, yellow for platonic attraction, and purple for sexuality. The white stripe at the center stands out and represents the core of the relationship as not needing to be any of the other attractions. It connects to the triangle, which represents the direction of the relationship. All stripes make contact with the white field, symbolizing potential and the power of a relationship to define the attraction.

The demiflectic flag has the same symbolism as the flectic pride flag, with the added pink stripe representing an established bond and the black triangle representing demi attraction.

## Etymology

Flectic is derived from the Latin root for flexible, *flectere*, or "to bend," as this attraction bends around the terms of the relationship and is flexible to the desires of both parties. It's also related to the word "reflect," because flectic attraction reflects whatever relationship it's in.

Oriented AroAce

An **oriented aroace** is an aromantic asexual (aroace) individual who experiences a form of tertiary attraction, that they feel is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aroace orientation.

Oriented aroace individuals identify with another orientation label, but in a nonromantic, nonsexual way. For example, oriented aroaces may identify as a bi aroace/bi oriented aroace or gay aroace/gay oriented aroace. This additional label can be based on any form of nonromantic, nonsexual attraction, such as platonic attraction, sensual attraction, aesthetic attraction, alterous attraction, queerplatonic attraction, etc. or a combination of these.

The term oriented aroace is used to refer to those who are strictly aromantic and asexual. Angled aroace was created for those who are not strictly aromantic and/or asexual but are still aro-spec and ace-spec, such as greyasexuals, demisexuals, greyromantics, demiromantics, and other aro-spec and ace-spec identities.

## Flag

The flag was designed by Tumblr user Biaroace on July 11, 2018. It features four horizontal stripes, similar in design to the asexual flag. The dark blue stripe at the top represents aroaces, grey for affiliation with the wider aro-spec and ace-spec communities, white for the orientation apart from aro and ace, and teal green for nonromantic, nonsexual attraction.

Aroacespike

**Aroacespike** is an orientation that is both arospike and acespike. It can also be viewed as the -spike equivalent of aroace, and is on the asexual spectrum and the aromantic spectrum. Someone who is aroacespike normally feels no sexual or romantic attraction, but occasionally feels strong sexual and/or romantic feelings for a short amount of time. These spikes in sexual and romantic attraction can occur at the same time or they can be independent from each other.

Just like acespike and arospike, aroacespike can function as a sexual and romantic orientation alone, or be combined with other sexual or romantic orientations. For example, one could be aroacespike and pansexual and/or panromantic meaning that when they do feel sexual/romantic attraction, they are attracted to all genders.
Deligosexual

Deligosexual is a subset of Cupiosexual where since you have no sexual attraction, you choose what gender(s) you want to have a sexual relationship with. This choice can be influenced by other forms of attraction, such as queerplatonic attraction, or personal preference.

Individuals who are Deligosexual sometimes label themselves as Deligo-choice of sexuality. For example, a individual who chooses to only have relationships with women and fem/neutral non binary individuals would be Deligoneptunic.

## History

The term was coined by FANDOM user Aspentheleafwing4 on October 19, 2021.
Asexual Gyneromantic

**Asexual gyneromantic** (or **gynromantic**, **gynoromantic**, **gineromantic**, **ginoromantic**) is a term for someone not experiencing sexual attraction to anyone while attracted romantically to women or femininity.

If an gyneromantic person is a woman, they may identify as homoromantic, and if a man, they may be heteroromantic. However, this term is useful for non-binary aces (such as nblw, trixics, feminamorics, neptunics, femarics, etc.) and those who are attracted to feminine-presenting people of any gender identity.
Soporiasexual

**Soporiasexual** is where people only feel sexual attraction while sleeping, in dreams or daydreams. It could also be used to describe a sexuality that is in some way tied to or affected by sleeping, tiredness, or dreams.

Laesumian

**Laesumian** is a term on the asexual spectrum, and a form of caedsexual. For someone who feels their sexual attraction is 'damaged' due to past trauma, said person may still feel sexual attraction to some extent, or not at all, but if so it usually feels off. This does not imply survivors are damaged in any way, just some may feel that has happened to their attraction.

This term should only be used by trauma survivors and those with PTSD.

## Flag

The flag may be subject to change and dosent have a huge amount of meaning, purple theme for asexuality and glass shatter representing ones feeling of a possibly shattered sexual attraction.

## History

The flag and term were created by FANDOM user Gvtcatgirl on October 12th 2022.

## Etymology

Arosexual

**Arosexual** is a term on the asexual spectrum what stands for a person what one finds that the easiest, best, or most convenient way to describe one’s sexual orientation is by tying it to one’s aromantic identity. This does not mean that the person believes that aromantic and asexual are the same, it is just that they associate their aromantic orientation with being also asexual.

Similar to being a non-SAM aromantic person.

Diurnalsexual

**Diurnalsexual** is a term on the asexual spectrum for those who feel that their sexual attraction is stronger during the day and weakens during the night, or simply doesn't exist at night. They may feel that the later it gets the more their sexual attraction weakens, or it may weaken an equal amount no matter the time of night.

The opposite is nocturnalsexual.

## History and flag

The term was coined by FANDOM users Stardustcollective and Acornfig on November 21, 2021, after seeing that nocturnalsexual did not have an opposite.

The flag was created by FANDOM user Itz henka gacha on November 22, 2021. The blue represents daytime, where the yellow represents the sun.

Encephalaroace

**Encephalaroace**, or **encie aroace**, is a term for one who is both encephalosexual and encephaloromantic. This is an a-spec identity in which one does not experience sexual or romantic attraction until an intellectual bond is formed, or until one experiences mental attraction. An intellectual bond is related to sharing of wisdom, knowledge, hobbies, aspirations, and interests. One can only experience sexual/romantic attraction to those whom they intellectually bond with and/or experience mental attraction to. However, this does not mean one will be sexually/romantically attracted to *everyone* they intellectually bond with/experience mental attraction to. It just opens it up as a possibility.

This is *not* "sexual/romantic attraction to smart individuals," nor is it a sexual/romantic orientation which one can use to gatekeep intelligence. It is only to be used in the context of mental attraction and close intellectual bonds. For example, one who loves music, or knowledge relating to it, may experience attraction to those that they can talk about music with.

## History

Encephalaroace was coined by an anonymous wiki user on October 22, 2020. It is a combination of the terms encephalosexual, encephaloromantic, and aroace. The terms encephalosexual and encephaloromantic were coined because the only similar existing labels were sapiosexual/sapioromantic, which are classist, ableist, problematic, and controversial.

Rather than focusing on things like IQ or academic intelligence, encephalosexuality/encephaloromance is based on sharing of interests, knowledge, and other similar things one can bond over intellectually.

## Etymology

*Encephal-* means "relating to the brain." Since intellectual bonds over hobbies, interest, knowledge, etc. are related to the brain/mind, encephalaroace worked as an appropriate label.

*Encie* was coined on October 23, 2020. It has no meaning, aside from being a shortened version of *encephal-*. It's meant to be easier to say and remember.

## Flag

The encephalaroace flag was created by an anonymous wiki user on October 22, 2020. Orange represents creativity. White represents wisdom and spirituality. Blue represents mental attraction and intellectual bonding. Blue represents being both ace-spec and aro-spec. The shade of blue used is directly in between the purple from the encephalosexual flag and the green from the encephaloromantic flag.
Enigmasexual

**Enigmasexual** is a term on the asexual spectrum in which the individual feels attraction so rarely, vaguely or weakly that they don’t know the specifics of the orientation, such the genders they’re attracted to or the fluidity of the orientation. It happens so rarely, vaguely or weakly that no specific pattern or trend can be quantified or detected.

## History

Enigmasexual was coined by Tumblr user pastelroswell on July 30, 2018.

## Flag

The enigmasexual flag was created by Tumblr user beyond-mogai-pride-flags on August 18, 2018.
Apathsexual

**Apathsexual** or **Apasexual** refers to someone who lacks interest in acting on their attraction. It may or may not be considered an ace-spec identity. It can be considered similar to pomosexual or other nonorientations, as it does not matter if the individual does or does not experience sexual attraction. An apathsexual individual feels indifferent, neutral, or apathetic to the idea of attraction or orientation.

Aceflux

**Aceflux** is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum. It is defined as someone whose sexual orientation fluctuates but generally stays on the asexual spectrum. An aceflux individual may feel very strongly asexual one day and less asexual another day, they might feel demisexual or greysexual at times. Some aceflux individuals may feel like they are allosexual at times.

Aceflux can be a sexual orientation on its own or can combined with other orientations. For example, one could be aceflux and bisexual, meaning that when one does experience sexual attraction it's towards individuals of two or more genders. Aceflux may overlap with abrosexual, however the difference is that for someone who is abrosexual the gender(s) they are attracted to may change. Generally, for aceflux individuals when they feel attraction, the gender(s) they're attracted to are always the same; only how they're attracted to them or how intensely they're attracted to them changes.

## Flag and symbol

The aceflux flag consists of five stripes making a gradient between red and purple. Red represents allosexuals and purple represents asexuals. The gradient represents how aceflux individuals can move from feeling strongly asexual to strongly allosexual.

The aceflux symbol was created by FANDOM user, WiiFyneLM, on October 28th, 2021, for an LGBTQ+ poster.

## Etymology

"Ace-" is short for asexual and "-flux" is a suffix used for orientations or genders that can change, and is short for fluctuating.
Incisexual

**Incisexuality** means feeling sexual attraction only in response to sexual thoughts or feelings expressed by a person one is (potentially) attracted to. Incisexuality fits in the asexuality spectrum.

Aceromantic

**Aceromantic** is a term on the asexual spectrum what stands for a person what one finds that the easiest, best, or most convenient way to describe one’s romantic orientation is by tying it to one’s asexual identity. This does not mean that the person believes that asexual and aromantic are the same, it is just that they associate their asexual orientation with being also aromantic.

The way this could work is if there are not many educated people to know about aromanticism and the AroAce person says they are asexual, reffering to their AroAce identity. Similar to being a non-SAM asexual person.

Vultusexual

**Vultusexual** (also known as **vultu-attractional**, **vulturomantic** or **vultuplatonic**) is a micro-label for people on the Asexual spectrum who experience a "merging" or sense of blended attractions. For a vultusexual individual, two or more attractions (e.g. aesthetic and sensual attraction) may exhibit the same feelings, thoughts, reactions or emotions and therefore feel interchangeable/not removable from one another.

This can fall under the umbrella term Black Stripe Asexual and is an a-spec specific label. This should not be used to describe the merging of sexual attraction with other attractions. This term is a-spec specific because of the difficulty many a-spec individuals face identifying and distinguishing common allosexual attractional experiences.

Vultusexual experiences may include:

* the merging of two or more non-sexual attractions.
* being unable to tell the difference between platonic, alterous and romantic attractions.
* seeing platonic, romantic and QPR relationships are intertwined/interchangeable.
* experiencing tactile/visual/physical attractions interchangeably.
* seeing familial love as a type of romantic love, platonic love as a type of alterous love, etc.
* feeling romantic or alterous attraction solely (or mostly) because they experience visual attraction for someone and/or admire someone's looks, although more specifically this individual may identify with miranromantic, an equivalent for miransexual.
* experiencing any of the above some of the time.

## Flag

The Vultu-attractional flag is a five-striped flag, coloured black, white and pale blue. The two black stripes represent asexuality (to specify that this is an a-spec specific label), the two white stripes represent the merging of romantic and platonic attraction, and the blue stripe represents the merging of all other types of attraction.

## History

This term was coined on the 23rd of July, 2021, on AVEN (The Asexuality Visibility and Education Network) on the Black Stripe Asexual Hangout Thread by user SleuthArt.

Angled AroAce

An **angled aroace** is an individual on the aroace-spec who experiences some form of attraction that they feel is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aro-spec and ace-spec identities. This attraction can be any form of nonromantic, nonsexual attraction (tertiary attraction), such as platonic attraction, queerplatonic attraction, sensual attraction, aesthetic attraction, alterous attraction, etc. or any combination of these. The term was intended to be used by those who are not strictly aroace, though the creator has stated that you are free to use the term even if you're flat out aroace, because you are still on the spectrum.

The term was originally created in 2019 because the oriented aroace identity did not include aroace-spec individuals.
