Some of these terms have been renamed

Autochorissexual is now aegosexual (because it is easier to say and the original term was coined as a paraphilia) and Lithosexual is now Akoisexual (due to controversy of lithosexual appropriating lesbian culture)

First, let me say I like your definition of the term cupiosexual better than the person who originated the term. Their definition confuses me.

Cupiosexuality and Cupioromanticism are subsets of Asexuality and Aromanticism respectively. A Cupiosexual is one who does not experience sexual attraction, but still desires a sexual relationship. Likewise, a Cupioromantic does not experience romantic attraction, but desires a romantic relationship.

When I read sexual relationship I read that as "sexual relationship" / the relationship of sexuals. It sounds like it is an asexual who wishes they were sexual so that they could have the intimacy that sex gives sexual couple, but to which an asexual can never experience. However, since reading here I have come to realize that is not what is meant, and what is meant is a sexual "relationship." In other words, they desire sex but simply lack attraction.

Where their definition is confusing, Your definition is a lot better and not as confusing.

Almost every one of these sounds overly specific and unnecessary.

There is a point to which labels are useful, by all means, but to this extent it only strikes me being the same thing for which asexuality in general gets a 'you're just trying to be special' approach.

I don't mean to sound like I'm out to cause any offense either, but having this many definitions must strike more than just me as excessive.

I think these are more useful as descriptions to use on places like AVEN. If you were to use one of these terms outside the asexual community, it would just be confusing for people.

Yes I agree. Too many labels plays into the "special snowflake" argument used against us. But within the community it should not be discouraged. Outside of the community, does still need to address romantic orientation, gray area asexuality, and libido. I don't the anyone would not understand if they are ace if they understood these concepts, but maybe not. Did anyone need a broader view of asexuality, to determine if it applied to them, or even that it just might?

I was merely putting together a list of terms I've heard used in the Ace community for literacy sake. For a large amount of Aces it seems very relevant. I'm just doing my part to make aware the meaning of these words to those who don't know so when they hear it in ace conversation they know what they mean. For better or worse the labels exist and they benefit some people. Instead of eye-rolling, how about attempting to understand them.
