I am quoisexual so the concept of sexual attraction confuses me to all hell when I try to apply it to myself, but sometimes you've gotta say "to hell with it," and have fun creating a term for what might be attraction?? Might not be?? Listen it's a mess.
So anyway, without further ado:
Quilccion/quilccion attraction!
Edit: I have an updated post about this term here.
This a term for quoisexuals and quoiromantics, for feelings that might be romantic/sexual attraction, but that can't be determined as attraction. It's a term for the blurred or confusing attraction-like feelings you have, that might not be attraction at all, let alone romantic or sexual attraction.
Essentially, it's: "I have a strange feeling that might be romantic/sexual attraction, but since I'm quoi I can't tell what these feelings are nor be completely sure what label they'd fit."
Some examples of when someone might call their unsure feelings quilccion attraction are:
+ a quoisexual is sex positive and finds their sexual fantasies revolve mostly around one gender
+ a quoiromantic is romance positive and finds their romantic fantasies don't have any specific gender they tend to focus on
+ a quoisexual feels like their libido might be connected with attraction
+ a quoiromantic wants to cuddle or kiss someone, but isn't sure whether their want is connected with attraction
+ a quoi person is experiencing attraction, but is unable to tell what form of attraction it is
You can leave quilccion as a term on its own, or combine it with other terms to be more specific in your feelings! So you could be homoquilccion, panquilccion, abroquilccion, etc!
"Quilccion" is pronounced like the word quill, but with "sea on" added right onto the end. Quill-sea-on. Or if it's broken down even further, kw-ill-see-ohn.
The word quilccion comes from the etymology of "attraction" and "what," similar to how the quoi- in quoisexual and quoiromantic is "what" in French. Like how "quoisexual" is literally "what sexual," quilccion is "what attraction." Which is fitting for attraction that 1. Isn't clear on what it is, and 2. Might not even be attraction and instead just be something else that seems like attraction.
The flag is based off the queerplatonic flag, as they're both terms used to mean attraction that sort of goes with one thing, but is also different in its own way. (How queerplatonic could almost be called platonic; how quilccion attraction could almost be called romantic/sexual attraction.)
The flag colors are all taken from the quoisexual and quoiromantic flags, and mean:
- Green: attraction like feelings that might be romantic attraction
- Blue: attraction like feelings that might be sexual attraction
- White, gray, and black: the aspec, as well as the spectrum of experience of what quilccion attraction could be/feels like
If you're not quoi, you can still use this term, just like how you can use the queerplatonic term even if you're not aro or ace. But it's a term meant primarily for those confusing feelings that quoi people might have!
I hope this helps other quoi people! I know it helps me!
