'''Sex-Averse''' is a term for people who find the idea of personally engaging in sexual activity undesirable, uninteresting, uncomfortable, or otherwise unwanted. Most commonly used by [[Asexual]]/[[Acespec|Ace-spec]] individuals, especially for [[Aegosexual|Aegosexuals]].
Their feelings towards personally engaging in sex can range from dislike or discomfort to intense fear or disgust, but sex-averse people 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 people, the sex-aversion only applies to the act of intercourse.For others, the aversion may extend to other sexual acts. Some people may experience varying levels of sex-aversion.
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.
Not all Sex-Averse people are Asexual. There are people who are [[allosexualAllosexual]] and Sex-Averse.

Sex-aversionAverse shares its original flag with sex-repulsion. It was created on January 15, 2018 by Tumblrtumblr user beyondBeyond-mogaiMOGAI-pridePride-flagsFlags.<ref>[https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/169725646550/sex-and-romance-negativerepulsedaverse The Sex-Averse and Romance-Averse flags]</ref>
Two flag edits were created on March 19, 2021 by wikia user [[User:Smollishbean|Smollishbean]]. One features a circled dash, a special defined operation similar to subtraction, representing the similarity to sex-repulsion. It can also be interpreted as being a mix of the repulsed and indifferent pride flags. Another flag features a single tide, showing similarity to sex-ambivalence. It can also be interpreted as a mix of the repulsed and ambivalent pride flags.
A tweaked flag of Smollishbean's Averse-Ambivalent edit was created by tumblr and wikia user [[User:FlippingPancake|FlippingPancake]], uploaded directly on the Ezgender wiki on June 24, 2021.
