Sex-repulsed/averse flag
Sex-averse flag.
The sex-averse flag.
Sex-averse is a term that is used most commonly by asexual and other ace-spec individuals to indicate that they find the idea of personally engaging in sexual activity undesirable, uninteresting, uncomfortable, or otherwise unwanted. These feelings towards personally engaging in sex can range from dislike or discomfort to intense fear or disgust, but sex-averse individuals aren't repulsed by the idea of sex in general. They don't mind others engaging in sexual activity or sexual discussion. They themselves may enjoy discussing sexual topics, telling sexual jokes, or consuming sexual media. For some individuals, the sex-aversion only applies to the act of intercourse; for others, the aversion may extend to other sexual acts. Some individuals may experience varying levels of sex-aversion.
Some individuals use sex-aversion and sex-repulsion interchangably, but they are distinct despite their overlap. Sex-aversion specifically refers to negative feelings regarding the idea of oneself being in a sexual situation. Aversion to the idea of sex in general would fall under sex-repulsion. Repulsion also has the association of stronger negative feelings like fear or disgust, or physical reactions like cringing, shaking, pain, or nausea. These can still be present in sex-aversion, but only in relation to one's own participation in sexual activity.
Sex-aversion can overlap with sex-ambivalence since one's feelings about sex changes depending on whether or not they are involved. One's feelings towards sex in contexts not involving oneself may reflect indifference or favorablility.
Someone who is sex-averse may identify as apothisexual, ARCsexual, or discarnal. Sex-aversion is also common for aegosexuals.
