[this-is-amato-heteronormativity]

Why is it always "aromantic/asexual people can STILL date/have sex!" and never "some aromantic/asexual people aren't romance/sex averse and might CHOOSE to date/have sex." And also never "heteromantic/heterosexual people can STILL date/have sex with people of same/similar gender(s)!" Oh right, because of hetero-amatonormativity. Like people can easily understand that generally straight people are romance/sex averse towards other people of same/similar gender(s), but will not extend the same understanding towards aspecs. Because straightness is seen as the default and anything else is Other that needs to be "fixed". And the Other's autonomy doesn't really matter at all.

This is amatonormativity and heteronormativity.

The erasure of non-partnering people (whether they be aspec or allo) is very problematic.

The erasure of cupiohex (straight people who date or hookup with similar genders) is also problematic.

Attractional orientation =/= relationship orientation.

Cupiohex is a term under the category of cupiosexual. It refers to someone who is straight/heterosexual and is exclusively attracted to the "opposite"/dissimilar gender(s). However, they are willing to participate in 'relationship' activities with the same/similar genders, despite feeling no attraction. These activities may or may not be sexual. The reasons for these activities include but is not limited to: pleasure, economic reasons, artistic expression, etc.

Cupiohex: being attracted to people of other/different/dissimilar sexes/genders, but is willing to participate in affectional/affectionate/affective activities with people of the same/similar gender/sex (despite no attraction for them).

Based on cupiogex. I identify personally as platonically cupiohex. That being said, someone could be nonsexually cupiogex too.

Hi do you know diamoric/mestric versions of cupiogex and cupiohex?

I do not know of a pre-existing term nor flag for it, but given the compartmental nature of the term names, I would imagine you could label it as simply cupiodiamoricsexual/cupiomestricsexual, or simplified further as cupiodiamoric/cupiomestric. If you'd like a name that follows the format of cupiogex and cupiohex, I would suggest cupiodex (or cupiodiadex, or cupiodiaex) or cupiomex (or cupiomesex). I hope this is helpful.
