Parasexual

Parasexual is defined as a term on the asexual spectrum, used for people who enjoy recreational sex (sex for the purpose of pleasure rather than reproduction, without the commitment of a relationship), despite not experiencing sexual attraction to those involved.

This term is unrelated to Pararomantic.

History of Terminology
Parasexuality is often confused with the parasexual cycle, which is a process specific to fungi and single-celled organisms. The parasexual cycle is a nonsexual mechanism for transferring genetic material without meiosis or the development of sexual structures. Parasexuality may be confused as the attraction to the paranormal.

At some point before August 4, 2016, parasexuality was reclaimed/coined as a genuine ace-spec identity.
