Xenosexual is a sexuality that can not be understood by the human brain.
Most of the time, individuals that identify with Xenosexuality are attracted to non-human entities, and not necessarily aliens.
Examples[]
Some examples can be:
- Demons: Whether they are the biblical demons, or part of other religions/beliefs, people might be attracted to these (regardless if they are part of that religion or not).
- Extraterrestrial Beings: These aren't necessarily the green, big eyed, aliens that many people know. Extraterrestrial beings just mean they aren't from this earth. If someone is attracted to an alien, or extraterrestrial being, whether it's fictional or not (depends on their beliefs), please be respectful.
- Alterhumans/Nonhumans: This is basically people that fall in the alterhuman or otherkin umbrella, not necessarily identifying with animals, but could.
NON-EXAMPLES[]
- Physical Animals: This is called zoophilia. Xenosexuals are not zoophiles.
- Plants: This is paraphilia or dendrophilia. Xenosexuals are not attracted to plants (referring to the ones seeing in the outside world, parks, etc.)
History[]
In the past this term was referring to white people having a relationship with a none-White. Today this term isn't really used anymore and was reappropriate only recently.
Etymology[]
Xenosexual comes from xeno-, a prefix that represents strangeness, foreign
What about Xenogenders?[]
Many people have wondered why not use this label for people who identify with Xenogender. At the moment there is an identity that is specifically for Xenogender people. (Editor comment: I personally don't know who made this flag, but I know the term and flag already exists so I will explain the following term...)
- Xenoromantic: Xenoromantic is a romantic attraction to xenogender individuals.
- Xengenic: Xengenic refers to someone who is exclusively attracted to xenic individuals or those who identify with xenogenders.
