MoraDollie Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I thought some people might be interested in this Byumasexual: A sexual orientation term for those who experienced some kind of trauma during the “awakening” of their sexual attractoin/orientation (for example: when one first starts to date or gets curious about their own sexual orientation). Due to this trauma, the concept or idea of “sexual attraction” is a very confusing subject to them. These individuals might have a basic idea of their orientation (”I know I am not straight” or “I know I am not gay”) but beyond that, it is a mystery. People who identify as Byumasexual might have a history of “cycling” through different sexual orientation terms, attempting to find a term that they feel comfortable with (the “light bulb moment”). This term is a more specific version of unthenalsexual. This term is NOT an excuse to not see professional help if you’re experiencing negative physical and/or mental health symptoms. If this is negatively interferring with your day-to-tday life, please seek out the proper professional. Questioning is not a term these people feel comfortable with. One reason could be that it feels too “superficial”. Another reason could be that they feel like questioning is a “transitioning” term. Byumasexual could easily be connected to caedosexual (believing trauma made you no longer experience sexual attraction), implasexual (Someone who feels they are never quite sure of their sexual orientation due to self doubt or anxiety), or pomosexual (believing there is no current term within the LGBT/MOGAI community that fits you, but there might be in the future). This term was created by combining a greek word with an old norse word. It’s pronounced “bee-you-ma-sexual”. The colors were based on the ideas of “trauma”, “{re}birth”, and “sexuality”.

Horse Ham Radio Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm concerned that the flags for unthenalsexuality and byumasexuality are so different, despite the close connection between the two. The names should also be similar to show the link. Also, so isn't unthenalsexuality kind of like a niche sub-orientation of (maybe?) aceflux? Logic being that an unthenalsexual may have fluctuating sexual feelings which may at times be hard to pinpoint or not exist. Aceflux is itself a sub-orientation of the orientations one fluxes between. And then byumasexuality is a sub-orientation of unthenalsexuality, so now we have a sub-sub-sub-orientation? That's pretty deep. Link to post Share on other sites

ThaHoward Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 13 minutes ago, Telecaster68 said: By whom, and why? No idea. But it seems as if things are getting to describe specific feelings. Soon we will have datesexual. "A person who need to date in order to find a partner". Or onenightsexual "someone who can be attracted to a person and engage in a one night stand". I guess we need pseudo-labels for everything now. And who create these terms? What is the literal point of mixing Greek with NORSE? Greek and Latin are used in medical and scientific terms as it is UNIVERSAL. Norse is not a universal language as how Greek and Latin is applied, and to mix one of these languages with Norse? And another funf fact, Trauma in Greek is.. Trauma. So you could just be saying traumasexual. Link to post Share on other sites
Telecaster68 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 There's only two reasons for these terms. One is so people who feel they need a special word to describe their particular attitudes can feel content about it, which I guess can apply here. The other is to communicate something, which means people have to agree and understand what it means. Since AVEN, world centre of made up words for incredibly rare but specific attitudes to sex, needs this one explaining, I'm guessing its ability to communicate something is somewhat limited.

ThaHoward Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 And if they are experiencing Trauma for whatever reason during their sexual awakening (all I can think of here is rape or abuse of some sort, or being extremely hurt) then they need help to get over their trauma as that is horrible. They need help to get past the trauma (or at least function with it) not a term to establish that they had a traumatic experience. What about veterans who suffer from PTSD and that affect their sexual life (among other things). Are we to say "don't worry, you will be fine as you are dayumsexual! That is perfectly normal". Or should we say "since you suffer from PTSD we will help you get through this and to have a functioning life again". Link to post Share on other sites
Telecaster68 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I just noticed this in the OP: Quote pomosexual (believing there is no current term within the LGBT/MOGAI community that fits you, but there might be in the future). FFS. Really? Link to post Share on other sites

Telecaster68 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 2 minutes ago, God. said: I read it is pornosexual first Which would actually be more understandable and useful. It's literally a word for things nobody feels need a word. Link to post Share on other sites

Ace Of Bass Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 based on the explanation you provided I don't see what makes this a distinct sexual orientation, rather than a state of personal confusion...it's not really saying anything about who one is attracted to or where one's sexual desire is directed....

Guest Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Someone is only alienating themselves and opening themselves to ridicule if they walk around trying to use a term like this (or the other one posted by this user in the Grey Area). Someone who has already experienced trauma doesn't need to be bullied for it, but they will be if they try to tell people they have a special unpronounceable word that describes the state of confusion they have over their sexual orientation as a result of past trauma.
