🪽✧˖°. Platonisexual, aka Platonerotic: Experiencing sexual attraction as an "extension" of platonic love (not necessarily exclusively).

I used a yellow rose, as yellow roses symbolize friendship! 💛

the color meanings are: yellow = friendship orange = platonic love + passion pinky red = sexual attraction + desire dark pink = eroticism

term coined by @awsteb, flag by me! 💛

platonirose/platrose: an orientation in which romantic and sexual attraction are experienced the same as or indistinguishable from platonic attraction; being both platoniromantic and platonisexual

for anon! the flag is based on the original platoni- flag, which seems to have been specifically intended as a platoniromantic flag, and my platonisexual flag.

I read a "what it's like to be nebularomantic" thing and that totally describes my experience with sexual attraction. Is there a nebulasexual or a term that means that but for sexual attraction?

Even though nebularomantic was coined as that, various orientations were coined as something or other and then later became used for other kinds of orientations. So I’d say you totally can use nebulasexual.

If you feel uncomfortable with that, though, you can also use something like platonisexual or neuroplatsexual:

Plat- / Platoni-: “An orientation where a type of attraction is experienced as the same as or indistinguishable from platonic attraction.”

Neuro-: “Umbrella term for orientations that are exclusive to neurodivergent individuals. May also be used to refer to any orientation which is affected by the owner's neurodivergency, ie. a neuroabrosexual person would feel that they are abrosexual because of their neurodivergence.”

Propeestromantic / Propeestsexual:  A label for aro/ace spec people who feel a mix of multiple a-spec (and non-aspec) identities make up their orientation.

Platonic Attraction: The desire to be someone’s friend and get to know them.

a platonisexual flag, since one didn't exist previously! while the flag in this post is being used as a general platoni- flag, the color meanings indicate that it was created specifically as a platoniromantic flag. i decided to keep the grey and black, since both the aro and ace flags contain those colors, shift the blue a bit closer to purple, and shift the orange closer to red.

Aces and aros who have trouble figuring out what kind of attraction they experience or what the different kinds of attraction even are or who just don’t notice any difference are amazing!

Shout outs for:

Arovague & Acevague

Idemromantic & Idemsexual

Nebularomantic & Nebulasexual

Platoniromantic & Platonisexual

Quoiromantic & Quoisexual

Wtfromantic & Wtfsexual

You’re all worthy of your labels! It’s hard enough to label things and you’ve found a word that works for you!

[beyond-mogai-pride-flags]

You can use platonisexual and platoniromantic, or just use quoisexual quoiromantic because quoi- is umbrella/broader for them. One of the definition of quoi-/wtf-/what- is:

Hard time distinguishing sexual/romantic attraction from other types of attractions, or can't distinguish them at all (ex cant distinguish romantic from platonic, or has a hard time distinguishing romantic from sensual feelings).

And Platoni-: attraction where an individual feels no distinction between romantic/sexual/alterous (a form of attraction) and platonic attraction.

I think there could be a romo- term, not distinguishing romantic and another form of attraction, for romosexuals, romoplatonics, romoalterous, etc.
