So You Think You Might Fall Under The Asexual Umbrella? Or Maybe You Experience Sexual Attraction In A Non-Traditional Way?

That's so awesome!The aim of this Carrd is to provide a simple "quiz" to help you become aware of some Asexual and lesser-known sexual terms that you may or may not relate to! I will also be providing a glossary page for those who don't feel like clicking through all the options. You are in no way obligated to identify with the terms I provide in response to your answers.Yes, there are a bunch of micro-labels.No, you are NOT obligated to know what every single one of them means.This “quiz” is purely for the purpose of education and exploration. You could identify with none of them, or you could identify with TEN! Sexual attraction is fluid, complicated, and an entirely personal experience. Just like your romantic oriention, gender identity, gender expression, what have you. That’s why you’ll see so many hyper-specific micro-labels. They are not created as a way to divide us into neat little boxes but are instead meant to empower those who identify with them and help them feel less alone!On the other hand, I will say I've made the decision to not include micro-labels in which trauma alone has caused the user's asexuality. While I understand wanting to put a name to your experiences and feel less alone, I am not comfortable with the idea of giving victims of abuse an excuse to never work through said trauma because "oh, well, I'm just such-and-such-sexual now". Your trauma does not have to define you.One final note: please be aware that the terms I am providing will have nothing to do with your attraction/preference in regards to gender/sex/etc. I'm operating under the assumption that you already know WHO you're attracted to, just not HOW or IF you're attracted to them sexually.Click Here! for some useful terms you may want to familiarize yourself with before proceeding.With that out of the way, let's get started!

(Actually, Just Take Me To The Glossary Page Please)

Types of Attraction

  • Aesthetic attraction: occurs when someone appreciates the appearance or beauty of another person(s), disconnected from sexual or romantic attraction.

  • Alterous attraction: a form of emotional attraction. It describes a feeling that is not necessarily platonic/queerplatonic, but also is not romantic in nature. It's a pull toward emotional closeness or intense feelings that may or may not have any relation to the romantic/nonromantic binary. Someone can be both alterous & romantic &/or platonic & can have varying degrees of attraction, ultimately feel discomfort / unease / or just a sense of inaccuracy in calling it wholly romantic or platonic.

  • Emotional attraction: the desire to get to know someone, often as a result of their personality instead of their physicality. This type of attraction is present in most relationships from platonic friendships to romantic and sexual relationships.

  • Intellectual attraction: the desire to engage with another in an intellectual manner, such as engaging in conversation with them, “picking their brain,” and it has more to do with what or how a person thinks instead of the person themselves.

  • Platonic attraction: is defined as the desire to form a close platonic relationship (friendship) with a specific person, or to form a closer friendship with someone one already knows.

  • Primary Attraction - attraction that is felt upon first meeting someone.

  • Romantic attraction: attraction that makes people desire romantic contact or interaction with another person or persons.

  • Secondary Attraction - attraction that only develops after personally knowing someone for a period of time.

  • Sensual attraction: the desire to interact with others in a tactile, non-sexual way, such as through hugging or cuddling.

  • Sexual attraction: a feeling of attraction to someone’s physical appearance with a sexual component, or desire to touch someone sexually. Difficult for some asexual people to define and recognize.

The above terms can also be used together with prefixes like hetero- homo- bi- pan- omni- poly- and so on! So, if you especially feel alterous attraction towards people of the same gender, you might use the term homoalterous!

Types of "Crushes"

  • Lush - A sensual equivalent of a squish or crush.

  • Plish - (proposed by my-only-voice) an instance or example of sensual attraction.

  • Plush - A queer platonic crush, a strong desire to join in a queer platonic relationship with someone.

  • Smush - A sexual crush aka Lust.

  • Squish - An intense feeling of attraction, liking, appreciation, admiration for a person you urgently want to get to know better and become close with. It is different from "just wanting to be friends" in that there is an intensity about it and a disproportionate sense of elation when they like and appreciate you back. In the asexual community, the equivalent of a "crush", but explicitly lacking an interest in forming a romantic couple or having a sexual relationship with the person in question. It does not matter if they are "in a relationship", as long as you two can have a deep connection.

  • Swish - An aesthetic crush.

  • Thete - (proposed by Anagnori) An instance or example of aesthetic attraction.
