#non-libidoism

A fun little divider I made for myself :)

These are the Aroace and Non-Libidoism flags ^^

I also made a gif version:

Feel free to use if you want!

(What other flags should I make dividers for?)

any other non-libidoists (ppl who don't experience sexual arousal) out there who feel like, though they're undoubtedly missing out on a lot of the fun of sex, they have a better understanding than most people of the different "layers" of horniness/the Abstract Sexual Mood, or rather a better understanding of the psychological side of sex in its distilled essence, since they can be very much "mentally aroused" without any physical sensations attached to it?

like...i can very much feel mentally turned on and enjoy sex and be in a sexual mood, i can co-create phantasies and play with my partner and be excited and know what to do and what to say and have fun while doing it... it's just that my body doesn't feel any different... and touching my genitals feels the same as touching my knee lol. and i have no fucking idea what an orgasm feels like and probably never will. and it's been a year since i even attempted to masturbate (gave up after a minute lmao).

but i just feel like it would be harder for most people to differentiate these layers (mental vs physical arousal) bc they probably tend to always experience them at the same time? soo...maybe our unique perspective is epistemologically valuable, too? lol

Hi, quick question: since asexuals do not experience sexual attraction, but are able to have sex drive/libido, is there a name for the lack of sex drive too? xoxo

Yup! That term is often called non-libidoism.
