Hetero would be included under the word for different. Trying to find a term that encompasses a nblm or a wlnb relationship for example. (I don't mean literally the word for it lol, just trying to find the different gender version of homo and hetero.)

I know that hetero actually translates to different, but it now commonly refers to opposite in orientation context.

What's the difference between bisexual and pansexual?

This doesn't bother me at all. I don't really care that it is starting hormone replacement therapy. That doesn't change how I feel about it.

Does that make me panromantic?

Because I don't care it uses it/its pronouns, I don't care it is agender, I don't care that it is transgender (female to male), I don't care that it is starting hormone replacement therapy, but more often than not, I like male. So I can't be panromantic, right? Because panromantic is "emotional and romantic attraction to others regardless of their gender and sex", but more often than not I like males, but at the same time, I do not care what you are or what's in your pants, as long as you aren't an asshat of a person I'll be attracted to you, but if there was a lineup of people I'd pick a male or male presenting person despite the fact I find everyone attractive regardless of what they are or present as.

Maybe it fits me, because my attraction to males is less about their gender and sex and more about the role they take on in the relationship, which is typically dominant.

But pansexual/panromantic is usually about EQUAL attraction across all genders and sexes, but my attraction to different genders and sexes is different…

The best I can describe it is that sometimes I like women, sometimes I like men, sometimes I like people under the non-binary umbrella, but more often than not I like men, mainly because of the relationship dynamic. Men and males (of any gender) are typically more dominant and rough, and so I take on a more submissive and bubbly dynamic myself, and with women and females (of any gender), they are much softer and delicate, so I take on a dominant role myself. That doesn't NECESSARILY sound equal to me, but maybe that's an armory thing and not an attraction thing??? I don't know, man…

I want to say I'm pansexual and don't have a preference, because personality means the most to me rather than genitalia/gender + appearance, but I kind of do have a preference; more often than not, I maladaptive daydream about dating a men… so yeah, I have a preference for men, so much so that I kind of feel like I'd be heteroflexible, not multisexual.

But I feel like I AM pansexual… if my partner were to transition or come out as something other than what they started as when we dated, I wouldn't care at all. I fell in love with them for them, not what's in their pants or happening in their brain. I fell in love with their personality and appearance, BUT more often than not I find men attractive, BUT if an attractive person comes on my TikTok FYP, then I find them attractive, regardless of what their gender is. If I find someone attractive, I notice their appearance before their gender/sex. Plus, there are funny videos on TikTok where there’s this really pretty lady, and I find them attractive, but they turn around and take the wig off, and it’s a man. Still doesn’t change anything; I still find them attractive. If they are attractive by my standards (so any and all humans on Earth), then I think they are hot, and I'm attracted to them… I'm so confused…

Would this be pan, omni (because I'm attracted to men more often than not), heteroflex, or something else???? /genq

Is there a label for someone that experiences a certain form of attraction (aesthetic in this case) but feels repulsed by it?

I don't mind if other people experience aesthetic attraction towards me, however, I really don't like experiencing it myself? I'm an-aesthetic spectrum so I don't experience it a whole lot, but on the occasions I do I feel repulsed by it, I guess? It feels 'wrong' to experience and I'm quick to deny (to myself) that I ever experienced it. this doesn't apply to fictional characters + only applies to real people.

If there isn't a label like this for aesthetic attraction specifically, but there are ones for sexual, romantic, or any other form of attraction, feel free to give me those labels because I could just 'change' them to fit aesthetic attraction instead (:

Hi!!

I would like to ask on behalf of my friend! Because she is too shy to ask it herself and don't want to do it ~

So!

She is afab |not cis, call herself just queer| and mostly likes men. She's more liking guys who look like a little between androgynous and masc type. She is doesn't like too feminine people but too masculine doesn't like too. And she doesn't sure but supposes she can a little like androgynous and some masc females |or any genders maybe|. Quoting her: "Who looks like Ruby Rose probably or a little more masculine"...

Sooo.... If I can ask like this — can you help me to help her? Is she can still straight or something else? Which terms can suit to her?

wants a relationship but experiences little romantic attraction?

Nevermind, i found it! It's cupioromantic, you can delete this post if you want

I thought I was abro + ace but I'm not sure because I don't always feel attraction to anyone but most of the time my gender determines my sexual/romantic orientation

If you have any ideas what this is pls tell me lol

Recently, my boyfriend has been questioning his orientation. I've been trying to help him and am still actively doing so. However, we can't seem to find something that fits him well enough.

He describes it as, "liking masculine people, not just men, but also women," and says that he "has a male lean." He also says that he likes femboys as well, but throwing all of that in a single orientation is too complicated.

If someone could help me out here, that would be super awesome!! :3

I have a cishet female OC named Sunspot. She has a boyfriend named Flare. Flare discovers he's cassgender. He still prefers masculine terms/pronouns. In his own words, "I'm used to he/him, I'm AMAB, and I have no preference otherwise, so I'll just stick to masculine terms and pronouns."

Since her boyfriend is cassgender, Sunspot would like to know if she's still technically straight, or if there's a more accurate term.

Sunspot's words: "I don't like girls, I know that much. I like boys, and apparently neutral genders too? Idk; I haven't met a lot of nonbinary people. But I definitely like Flare! He's my boyfriend!"

An A-spec identity

Feels sexual attraction and can desire sexual actions, but does not want sexual pleasure inflicted on themself (or just doesnt want that kind of touching on themself), but will advance sexually on someone else

Similar to lithosexual maybe

My brother identifies as both agy, and asexual (the term he and I use is "gasexual"), but is this already a gender? Or should I make a page and flag for it. (BTW, I think I'm straight).

Ok so I need help

I want a romantic relationship like BAD I love romance and all those things and I find the idea of dating amazing and want to have it BUT I don't think feel romantic attraction. Whenever I think of other attractions I can explain it well and feel all of them differently but when it comes to romantic attraction I don't know what it is. I know I'm supposed to have it but I don't get the explanation of it as they all sound platonic to me. I want to feel it and know what it feels like but I can't. I get it when it's in media or irl but never for myself

Is there a sexuality for being attracted to men, non-binary people, women, and xenogender people (listed from most preferred to least preferred but still attracted to them)?

How do I tell the difference between aesthetic attraction and romantic/sexual attraction?

Somebody said that I might not experience romantic/sexual attraction and it might just be aesthetic attraction, but I genuinely don’t know how to tell them apart.

Could somebody explain it to me like I’m 5 years old?

Hey y’all i have a rough idea of what i am (currently heterosexual-omni??romantic) but like its weird cuz like im only sexually attracted to afab people as in like im only comfortable sexually with afab anatomy if that makes sense but in theory i’m open to all genders with a preference for women (including trans women but ive only been into cis girls thus far) but in theory idrc abt gender?? is there a specific term for this or am i what i said earlier: heterosexual omniromantic? thanks yall!!

Recently I realized that I'm Aromantic. I don't experience romantic attraction whatsoever.

However, I /used to/ experience it back when I was a kid/pre-teen. I believe I used to be alloromantic, but, one day I just kinda stopped being capable of experiencing romantic attraction and it just never 'went back'?

I don't consider myself Aroflux/don't wanna label myself as such because it doesn't really feel like anything fluctuated? It just kinda happened and now it's been 6-7 years since I last experienced romantic attraction, and honestly, I don't think I ever will again, especially considering I've been in multiple relationships since then and have only ever been able to feel queerplatonic and/or alterous attraction. I'm just Aromantic now and that's that!!

I was wondering if there's a label for this? For someone that used to be allo/used to experience romantic attraction but is now aromantic/no longer experiences it what-so-ever + doesn't think they'll ever experience it again?

What the prefix for attraction to girls and enbies?

-moth, no pronouns

So!! For context I identify as bi, I'm attracted to /all/ genders.

However!! I was curious as to whether there's a label for people that are attracted to men but refrain from dating them despite being attracted to them due to comfort reasons and/or trauma?

I'm most often attracted to men + nonbinary people from what I've experienced, but despite /who/ I find myself most often attracted to, I heavily prefer dating nonbinary people, fem-aligned people and women for comfort reasons. I've reached a point where even if I'm attracted to a man or masculine-aligned person I wouldn't date them for my own comfort.

If there isn't a label I might just use 'bi with a preference' or bi and sapphic together (or something else), but, it'd be cool if there was a label for this specific experience? I believe I saw something a while back (months - years ago), but I can't remember the label name or if this label actually exists and I'm just remembering wrong.
