Makalasterlove Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 so·lus ˈsōləs/ adjective alone or unaccompanied (used especially as a stage direction). What this means is feeling sexual attraction only when alone, but not direction to self/person. It is similar to Self-Sexual which is being sexually active to yourself. Self-Sexual is your behavior while Solussexual is the sexual identification. Now what I am wondering with this identity when it comes to other people I am Grey/Asexual, but I am Solussexual. Also, self-sexual has this stigma behind it on Urban Dictionary of being sexually attracted to yourself which isn't my case. Yay or nay? Link to post Share on other sites
Ficulnean Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yay on an ideological level. Possible nay on how complicated all these terms get. Link to post Share on other sites
Robin L Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 If you're not feeling sexual attraction to anyone, maybe you have a libido instead? It's easy to mix the two up. Link to post Share on other sites
Star Bit Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 sounds like libido. Link to post Share on other sites
Makalasterlove Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yeah, I guess it could be considered libido. It depends on which definition of sexual attraction you are using. The AVEN definition: "Sexual attraction is a feeling that sexual people get that causes them to desire sexual contact with a specific other person." and the standard definition: "Sexual Attraction is attraction on the basis of sexual desire or the quality of arousing such interest."' I can agree with both of them in a way, I considered myself a little bit of Demisexual, but it's not too great to actually for me identify as such. I'm more in the Grey-A rather than Demi; kinda in between those too. It's all how you define sexual attraction. Yeah, I guess it is libido instead of an actual sexual attraction.

Rising Sun Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 So you already have the word "libidoist" (although I don't really like to use a word ending in -ist to describe having a libido). Link to post Share on other sites
