Orchibellus / Orchibelle
An anattractional label combining Orchid + Bellus for anyone who experiences a disconnect between their attraction and their desire. Orchibelle describes someone who experiences attraction in some form, but may have little to no desire to act on their attraction, pursue it, or define it. An orchibelle may desire aspects of intimacy, but it may be in the absence of attraction entirely.
An orchibelle may have intense attraction towards someone separate from the desire to do anything with them, and vice versa. Their attraction and their desire may not occur together.
An orchibelle may have a squish or a crush, but they have little to no desire to pursue them or change their relationship.
An orchibelle might desire sex or enjoy traditionally romantic acts, but experience little to no attraction directly.
An orchibelle may experience aesthetic attraction to someone, but have little to no desire to interact with them further.
