[[File:Sex repulsed.png|thumb|Sex-repulsed/averse flag]][[File:Sex-averse2.png|thumb|Sex-averse flag.]][[File:Sex-averse.png|thumb|The sex-averse flag.]]'''Sex-averse''' is a term that is used most commonly by [[asexual]] and other [[Asexual Spectrum|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-Repulsed|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-Ambivalent|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 [[Sex-Indifferent|indifference]] or [[Sex-Favorable|favorablility]].▼

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 tilde, showing similarity to sex-ambivalence. It can also be interpreted as a mix of the repulsed and ambivalent pride flags.▼
Not all Sex-Averse people are Asexual. There are people who are [[Allosexual]] and Sex-Averse.
