Star Bit Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 as in never or just currently? Link to post Share on other sites
dissolved Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Desiring sex is desiring sex. Relationships are something we as humans have constructed. Desiring or not desiring a relationship has nothing to do with sexuality, and as far as I'm aware, no single word exists to convey that (nor needs to, frankly :P). Link to post Share on other sites
binary suns Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 if you feel sexual attraction but not sexual desire, that is grey. I don't think there is a current term other than greysexuality for that... if you feel sexual desire but intend not to act upon it, that is celibacy... if you want to have sex but don't like the idea of relationships, maybe are you aromantic? there are people who are sexual but aromantic. some do want a relationship and some do not...

Guest Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 There are plenty of sexual people who don't want relationships at all and are physically turned off by the idea of that. Just as there are romantic people who experience romantic feelings but are turned off by the idea of a relationship with anyone, for whatever reason. Relationships are just things that some people are into and some people aren't into, orientation doesn't really have anything to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites

Lithsexual? (aka Aposexual; which i prefer because its prefix isn't a metaphor) Link to post Share on other sites
