Is there a version of asexual where it mirrors your partner? Like overall I might not feel much in that sense but if my partner was down I'd also be down ??? If that makes sense ??

Reciprosexual: does not experience sexual attraction, unless one knows the other individual has sexual attraction towards one first.

Antau: only feeling attraction when one knows someone is attracted to oneself first. Unlike Recipro, Antau is made to also cover any sort of attraction pairing such as one’s partner feeling romantic attraction to oneself, and one’s attraction to one’s partner is alterous. In that case one could use Antaualterous, even though the person in question’s attraction isn’t alterous.

Mirrorasexual/Mirror-Ace/Reflectoasexual/Reflecto-Ace: those whose sexual orientation mirrors someone around them. Examples of those people could be: a romantic/alterous/platonic crush; an idol e.g. a singer or actor. For instance, if the crush identifies as allosexual, the mirror-ace person will also identify as allosexual. However, if the person was asexual, the mirror-ace person would also identify as asexual. If the mirror-ace individual decides to stop mirroring someone, they may revert to another identity on the spectrum, such as demisexual or graysexual.

Antau

Antau is an alternative term/name/flag for any folks who are uncomfortable with using Recipro (Reciprosexual, Recipromantic, etc.) due to it's association to a now deactivated transmed coiner. This isn't made to replace Recipro as a term, however has been coined as an alternative term for anyone who would want to use one. [Link to Source ig?]

In short Antau is an orientation term for anyone who only feels attraction when one knows someone is attracted to oneself first.

Unlike Recipro, Antau is made to also cover any sort of attraction pairing such as one's partner feeling romantic attraction to oneself, and one's attraction to one's partner is alterous. In that case one could use Antaualterous, even though the person in question's attraction isn't alterous.

This is a distinction made to be more inclusive of "Recipro" or conditional like attractions. The forms of attraction felt between beings doesn't have to be the same, such as Reciprosexual only referring to a sexual and sexual pair, Antau can be any pair of forms of attraction.

The name of this term comes from the root words "Ante" meaning before, and "Auto" meaning self. I'll be coining and posting Antausexual, Antauromantic, Antauaesthetic, Antaualterous, Antauexteramo, Antaufamilial, Antauplatonic, Antauqueerplatonic, Antausensual, Antauphysical, Antauemotional, and Antaudomestic.

The colors on the flag were somewhat inspired from other Aspec flags, black for lack of attraction, medium gray for conditional attraction, pastel melon red for attraction when it's felt, and beetle greenish cyan for any forms of attraction one feels. This is the general Antau flag, as a placeholder for any form of Antau attraction one may feel.
