'''{{PAGENAME}}''',''' '''also known as '''Zedsexual''', refers to people who are not on the [[Acespec|asexual spectrum]]. In other words, it describes someone who regularly experiences [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]] to others. But it does not necessarily refer to a sexual identity by itself. It is an umbrella term created by the [[Aspec|A-spec]] community as a way to describe anyone who's not asexual, in the same way [[transgender]] individuals use the term [[cisgender]] to refer to someone who is not transgender.
The difficulty in finding a term for Non-Asexuals is exacerbated by the fact that some Non-Asexuals, especially [[A-Spec Exclusionist|a-spec exclusionists]], may derail conversations about such terminology by destructively criticizing any word used. Exclusionists sometimes claim that allosexuality does not need a label and that coming up with a term has created a false dichotomy between people that are asexual and people that are not, as well as "grouping LGBT+ non-asexual people with their oppressors". More complaints include the idea that the term is racist or sexualizes people without consent. Some even go as far as to claim that allosexual is slur used by Asexuals to "oppress non-asexual LGBT people". Many of these complaints are made by people with the intention of de-legitimizing the terms used by Asexual people. Despite these complaints, allosexual is still the most commonly used term today.
