[ID: a poster that reads "These spectra are all different." Below are four arrows, up to down, each labeled with a different sexuality spectrum.
Top: allosexual - often experiences sexual attraction (a feeling of wanting to have sex with a specific person)
Middle: grey-asexual - rarely experiences sexual attraction
Bottom: asexual - never experiences sexual attraction
Notes for sexual attraction:
There are other types of attraction and corresponding spectra. See: romantic, platonic, aesthetic, sensual
Asexuality can shift over time. See: aceflux
Top: high libido - often or strongly experiences libido/sex drive (a feeling of wanting sex, but not directed at a specific person)
Bottom: low libido - rarely experiences libido
Libido can change greatly due to mental health, life circumstances, and various other factors
Top: sex favourable - sex is appealing and enjoyable for them
Middle: sex indifferent - does not particularly like or dislike sex
Between middle and bottom: sex averse - dislikes sex and finds it not appealing
Bottom: sex repulsed - finds sex repulsive or disgusting
Notes for sex favourability:
There are other spectra of favourability. See: romance favourability, touch favourability
Sex favourability can depend on context. See: aegosexual
Sex favourability can shift over time. See: sex fluid
Top: sex positive - believing that "sex is good and people can do what they want"
Middle: sex neutral - no particular stance on sex
Bottom: sex negative - believing that "sex is bad and sex should be restricted"
Notes for sex positivity:
The other spectra are about things the brain/body does. Sex positivity is about ideology
Any combination is possible. Now you know these things exist. If you want to learn more about something, look it up.
