Hey.
I was just searching "asexual tag" just so I can block more bots but I came across of your post.
Is alloace a new thing? Since people keep coming up with new things all the time?
I literally googled "alloace" but it doesn't make much sense to me.
"Alloromantic Asexual (shortened to Alloace or Aceallo) describes those who are Asexual and/or Ace-spec, and also Alloromantic. They may experience romantic attraction but experience little, limited, or no sexual attraction."
Wouldn't the ones who experience little sexual attraction be called grey aces?
This definition I found makes zero sense to me really... because someone is allo... which means they do feel sexual attraction but now at the same time they feel very little attraction or none at all which kinda makes no sense since the whole point of an allo is being able to feel sexual attraction...
No, Allo-ace isn't a new thing, it's been around for years. it refers to people who are on the asexual spectrum but still experience /romantic/ attraction.
Allo-ace is short for alloromantic asexual.
allo-aro is short for allosexual aromantic.
if someone experiences little sexual attraction, they can call themselves a grey ace if they want to, but they could still call themselves an allo-ace because the allo here is refering to romantic attraction, not sexual.
allo doesn't always refer to sexual attraction, it can also reffer to romantic attraction, or platonic attraction. the meaning changes with the context. You can be allosexual, alloromantic, alloplatonic, and I have no doubt there are more variants that I don't know of.
