Apoattractional

Apoattractional is a subset of Anattractional in which one not only experiences a lack of attraction on many/all axes, but is entirely removed from the concept of attraction as a whole. It can be described as less than a lack of attraction, and more as having no connection, association, or relation towards attraction altogether. - Flag and term coined by me! - An addition to my Aporomantic & Aposexual flags

Ace things...

One thing that I’ve struggled with about being (fairly) ace is that I still wanna be there for my partners, and on (very) rare occasion I do get interested in the sexy things (barely). And so learning to set my boundaries and understanding that just because there is a very small chance that someday I might get interested, doesn’t mean I need to be there for my partner whenever they are interested. Its not my fault if I’m not interested, I don’t need to be. I also need to remember that just because I have interest in one thing doesn’t mean I need to do more that that, and its not my fault if I lose interest all of the sudden. Its a lot of learning my limits, learning when to say no, and learning to be okay with that.

You know?

Is this a thing other (fairly) Ace people struggle with? What do you do to cope?

i love finding niche gender/sexuality/other labels. its so fun. it is a lil confusing bc the definitions can be all over the place. currently looking at orchidsexual and aposexual and they appear to be very similar things? or almost the same according to some of the definitions? almost word for word. or like, sometimes theyll have 2 definitions to be more flexible and othertimes just one of them appears etcetc,,,, its interesting. does make me a little dizzy tho. leaning towards aposexual bc the first description of it had 2 definitions (not wanting sex at all and feeling sexual thoughts/attraction while not wanting the act- which is what i lean too personally) and orchidsexual seemed to be more 'there is a reason you dont want sex' (which.... aposexual also has that as a definition, admittedly) ofc labels r flexible and can change overtime its just neat and i like reading about them, but this specifcially was too see if there were names lmao. uhh. guess im asking for help about it. ye. confuzzled about it.

hi. maybe not the person/place to ask, but im stuggling rn...

could you maybe explain aposexual?

all the info im finding online is pretty limited but i saw smth brief about it lowkey fits the vibe that ive been trying to figure out for myself for a bit. but i feel like idek what im thinking or if im just like desperate to find any label that im grabbing onto the first one that sounds sorta right.

sorry if this isnt an appropriate ask. feel free to ignore if you need to

hi. this is a very appropriate ask for this blog. thanks.

there are varying definitions for this. aposexual was used as another alternative for the term lithosexual. however, there is a more recent and used definition that seems to be based on apogender by @themaveriqueagenda mod. in this sense, it sounds similar to voidsexual, octantic, unlabeled ace, and probably orientationless as well. as if sexual attraction is inapplicable to your experience, however the person would also be asexual (or at least non-allosexual) as well. but it's different from apothisexual as the user is not necessarily sex-repulsed or averse.
