Viorose

[PT: Viorose. end PT]

Without and with symbol, and a simplified version

A term for those who struggle to differentiate violent actions/thoughts/urges from sexual and romantic actions/thoughts/urges/attraction. You may be unable to tell the difference between the two, or see them as interchangeable. This can be caused from past abuse making different wires cross over in your head, the adrenaline from violence being mistaken for love/lust, etc. This was made with folks with PTSD/C-PTSD in mind but can be used by anyone.

Vioromantic - A term for those who struggle to differentiate violent actions/thoughts/urges from romantic actions/thoughts/urges/attraction

Viosexual - A term for those who struggle to differentiate violent actions/thoughts/urges from lust/sexual actions/thoughts/urges/attraction

This is a specific experience I struggled with finding a term for, so I made this. If there's a term like this that already exists lmk. I wasn't sure whether to look for aspec sublabels or terms relating to trauma responses, so this sort of has an intersection of both? You don't necessarily have to be aspec to use this though. "I got so used to it I began to love it." That's the feeling I had in mind for this term.

I've had some issues putting a label on exactly what my sexual preferences are. So I decided to make my own I am a Viosexual. It means I can be romantically attracted to anyone based on their personality, But my sexual attraction preferences are vague as fuck and y'all can suck it.
