we believe that terms/flags DNU is stupid and exclusionary. you cannot make a term and then say "this term is only for people who believe the same things I do."

our stances: anti radqueer, anti harmful transid , pro choice, pro all plural origins, Pro polymind, anti sysmed , pro LIOM/MOGIA, 'misandry exists', anti KAM, anti ai [but for the recovery of +compassion towards those addicted!!], anti pro/neu contact, anti darkship/shotacon/lolicon but pro greyship, comship, lightship [we do not associate with the terms 'proshipper' or anything similar] we are also anti harrassment etc .

So what are the stamps and user boxes actually used for other than just being silly and cute
IS THIS MY CHANCE TO INTRODUCE SOMEONE TO THE CULTURE OF THE OLD WEB AND PROFILE CUSTOMIZATION!?!?!?!?
OK, so other than being cute and silly their purpose is to uh⌠be um⌠cute and silly decoratio- who wrote this script?? Whoever did is horrible at its job, like yeah it's right but- let me just sugarcoat it a bit mor-
WHAT ARE USERBOXES
âUserboxes are boxes containing a little bit of information about someone! They originated from wikipedia and were meant to be put on peopleâs user pages, but here people either choose to reblog those that apply to them or put them on their about pages (or both!)â
âDefinition stolen borrowed from Userboxed's FAQ
So, basically, Wikipedia had this little thing where NERDS would code* boxes of information and people said âHEY, THAT'S SO COOL WHY DO ONLY THE SMART PEOPLE HAVE THOSEâ and said âIMMA MAKE MY OWN, SCREENSHOT IT AND PUT IT ON MY WEBSITE/PROFILE/PINNED POSTâ
*Zzz boring code (I have a website myself, I'm allowed to call it boring)
WHY I LOVE USERBOXES
⌠Most people won't read your pinned post in its totality, but will read the userboxes.
⌠They're colorful, have one or two sentences max per userbox and have an image on the side, so it catches people's attention more than just plain text.
⌠They get their point across: your personality, interests, sometimes aestheticsâŚ
⌠MAKING YOUR OWN IS SUPER EASY!!
The standard size is 239px Ă 49px, but bigger/high quality userboxes can be found, always following that ratio, of course.
WHAT ARE STAMPS
Basically, just images/GIFs with a border resembling a real life stamp. These are called static or animated stamps, AND I'M IN LOVE WITH THE LATTER TYPE. I believe they come from Deviantart and serve a similar purpose to userboxes: decorating your profile.
WHY I LOVE STAMPS
⌠Collecting them is super fun!! It reminds you of which parts of the internet you have visited.
⌠Groups of stamps look super cool together.
⌠That thing about getting your point across but without text and writing AESTHETIC in bold red underlined text.
The standard size is 99px Ă 56px, but bigger/high quality stamps can be found, always following that ratio, of course.
BUT WHERE DO YOU PLACE THEM !?
You can have a couple on your profiles (Spacehey), pinned posts (Tumblr)⌠But where people COLLECT THEM is in
A CORNER ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE / NEOCITIES
EXAMPLES OF COOL NEOCITIES THAT WITH COOL STAMPS/COLLECTIONS
⌠Shishka
⌠Cinni
⌠Oddity Commoddity
⌠Ko's Crag!
⌠Cloud Cover
⌠Echo's Graphics
⌠silly zone
⌠Mad Paddington
⌠My own website lmao
THIS IS YOUR CALL TO MAKE YOUR OWN NEOCITIES !!
(Because it's my hyperfixation, topped only by TF2, and I MUST share it with the world) (I already convinced my light to make a neocities, YOU ARE NEXT.)
CONCLUSION
TL;DR: They're silly and cute BUT, they're also nostalgic and an important part of internet culture
I also recommend watching the next videos just because (you won't understand userboxes or stamps any better, but the culture around it)
⌠Whatever Happened to Profile Customization?
⌠Old Websites Were Cooler, Actually
I hope you found my explanation/yapping interesting and also answered your question (if you can find your answer, there's so much filler, god) HEHE

Image 1: [ID: A 5 stripe horizontal pride flag. Colors in descending order are slightly pastel hot pink, light hot pink, pale lavender, medium purple, and medium blue. No text. /End ID.]
Image 2: [ID: A 5 stripe horizontal pride flag. Colors in descending order are slightly pastel hot pink, light hot pink, pale lavender, medium purple, and medium blue. There is text on each stripe. The text in descending order reads as "Fictive identity", "Fictional identity spectrum", "Fableing identity", "Fluidity" and "Fictionkin identity". The text is white with a thin black border. /End ID.]
Fictidfluid is an identity for a headmate whose fictional identity is fluid in how it presents or is perceived. Their identity is fluid between fictionkin and fictive, with fableing being in the middle.
Fictidfluid as a name is a combination of fict, id and fluid, pulling from the words fiction, identity and fluid respectively. "Fictid" is pronounced like "fictive" but with a "d" sound instead of a "v" sound.
Any system member can use this label, regardless of origin or type should it resonate with or fit them.
(While fableing is usually defined as being for median system members only I find that that is quite restrictive. I'm sure there are many multiple system members who experience a fableing identity. This is why Fictidfluid is not restricted to just median system members, as I find that would be limiting. It is not a requirement to use the term fableing when using this term for yourself, it is simply a term that means inbetween fictionkin and fictive. You can do whatever you want forever.)
SSA stands for Stuffed Service Animal. Not to confuse with Stuffed Support Animal or Service Animal!
SSAs are plushies that are disability aids. SSAs belong in the Support Stuffed Animal alongside ESSAs (Emotional Support Stuffed Animals) DSSAs (Disability Support Stuffed Animals) and RSSA (Rage Support Stuffed Animals) and other microlabels like ASSAs (Anxiety/Autism Support Stuffed Animals or EDSSAs (Eating Disorder Support Stuffed Animals).
Let's break down the term:
Stuffed - Animals (obviously) means stuffed animals/plushies.
Service means/stands for "the action of helping or providing service to someone.
Many people think SSA handlers are claiming their plush is a SA (Service Animal) so here are some
Key differences:
SSAs are disabiliy aid objects while SAs are task trained live medical equipment protected by federal law.
SSAs cannot task even if as much as we want them to. They cannot perform standalone tasks without the handler's assitance.
SAs have full public acces while SSAs don't always have public acces. E.G. schools, work place or other places where focus or concentration is required.
Some "tasks" SSAs can perform:
Prevent or support during/after medical episodes
Ground/Distract handler or Tactile stimulation/deep pressure therapy like tasks
Carry other disability aids (medication, inhaler, blood pressure/heart rate/blood sugar monitor, ear muffs, fidget toys, medical information, etc)
Assist position changes/wheelchair transfer

I saw a post where this person asked about the meaning of some terms in the ace spectrum because they wanted to know if any applied to them and someone commented saying âjust keep it simple so you donât have to explainâ
Correct me if Iâm wrong but, arenât the point of labels to keep from having to explain? đ
Like I understand needing to take into consideration that a lot of people probably donât know what cupiosexual or aegosexual means but that doesnât mean they donât need to use those labels or not have access to terms that are literally coined to explain their sexuality with way less words
I dont know itâs just very bizarre when people jump to the âwell you donât have to have all those labelsâ or âyou donât have to label yourselfâ or just encouraging people not to find more specific labels that fit them better. I will never understand that mindset.
Im sure this isnât the case for all these people who say this but if youâre satisfied with your one broad label that doesnât mean other people should just pick one broad label and just be fine with it. And donât get me started on the people who say âitâs okay not to know!â If I wanted that answer I donât think I would be asking to know in the first place
This is queerphobia.
Label and identity policing is so annoying. Some people find labels to be constricting, and choose to remain unlabeled or with minimal labels - thats perfectly valid! But other people need more specific labels because thats what brings them comfort and joy.
Let people find words to describe themselves. It doesn't hurt anyone.
I see this a lot towards people who are aspec, mspec, or non-binary (usually people on the xenogender spectrum) searching for labels.
People just hate aspecs, mspecs, and enben having more distinct labels because its "too complicated" - aka, it challenges the binary they have in their head (gay-straight binary, black stripe ace-allosexual binary, green stripe aro-alloromantic binary, man-woman binary, etc), and they dont like it.
Varsex/Sexqueer: A person with a sex identity or sex traits that are not typical of perisex cissex standards. This includes intersex, dysex, ersex, and transsex.
Perisex (sometimes also called Endosex or Dyadic): A person/creature with the most commonly viewed natal sex traits within their species. For humans, this includes SPETE and SPETA.
SPETE (Someone Perisex Expected To Estrogenize): A perisex person with XX chromosomes, a vulva, two average-sized (or large) ovaries, a single average-sized (or large) uterus, two fallopian tubes, and (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to estrogenize (at a typical range) during puberty.
Their vulva will have two labia minora with a clitoral hood, two labia majora, a single pea-sized clitoris, a single moderate (or deep) vaginal entry, and a urethra between the vaginal entry and the clitoris. It may or may not have a hymen that surrounds the vagina, covering it minimally.
SPETA (Someone Perisex Expected To Androgenize): A perisex person with XY chromosomes, a moderate (or large) penis, two moderately-sized (or large) testicles within the scrotum, an average-sized prostate, two vas deferens, two average-sized seminal vesicles, and (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to androgenize (at a typical range) during puberty.
Their penis will have a phallus, a scrotum beneath the phallus, foreskin protecting the head of the phallus, and a urethra on the tip of the penis. It is straight or slightly curved when erect.
Cosexual: A species whose perisex standard is being capable of both fertilization and egg production at the same time. (Ie; Snails, slugs, certain fish, etc.)
Dualsex: A species whose perisex standard is having mixed sex traits, typically both a penis and a vagina, though other combinations may apply as well. This usually refers to fictional species.
Intersex: A person/creature with natal sex traits (as in, sex traits that are not from physical damage, surgery, or HRT) that do not fall within their perisex norm. Usually this refers to natal primary sex traits (sex chromosomes, sex hormones, genitalia, and/or reproductive organs), but some people consider natal secondary sex traits (breasts, nipples, etc) to be intersex as well.
(Note: "Inter" does not just mean in-between. Inter can also mean "among" or "to destroy". Therefore, intersex =/= a sex in-between SPETE/SPETA. In humans, intersex can describe a mix of sex traits, but it can also describe small/absent/undeveloped genitals/reproductive organs, genitals/reproductive organs that are split/duplicated, a penis with an atypical appearance, a vulva with an atypical appearance, high sex hormones, low sex hormones, unresponsiveness to sex hormones, "mismatched" sex chromosomes, SRY-negative XY chromosomes, SRY-positive XX chromosomes, more than two sex chromosomes, and/or less than two sex chromosomes.)
SETE (Someone Expected To Estrogenize): A person (perisex or intersex) who (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to estrogenize during puberty. This could be expectation of micro-estrogenization, average estrogenization, or hyperestrogenization. Sometimes, this expectation may be inaccurate, if the person has unpredicted hyperandrogenism or hypoestrogenism.
SETA (Someone Expected To Androgenize): A person (perisex or intersex) who (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to androgenize during puberty. This could be micro-androgization, average androgenization, or hyperandrogenization. Sometimes, this expectation may be inaccurate, if the person has unpredicted hyperestrogenism or hypoandrogenism.
SETAE (Someone Expected To Androestrogenize): A person who (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to have a mix of androgenization and estrogenization during puberty. Sometimes, this expectation may be inaccurate, if the person has unpredicated hypogonadism.
SWPE (Someone Without Puberty Expectations): A person who (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors), is not expected to experience any puberty. This is usually due to having bilateral gonadal agenesis, or gonads that are fully streaked and/or too small to produce sex hormones, or similar variations.
Dysex: A person with atypical primary sex traits caused by non-natal events (ie; labial hypertrophy from pregnancy, gynecomastia from red meat consumption, a person with hyperestrogenism from tumors, etc), minor atypicalities in primary sex traits (ie; a minorly bicornuate uterus), or atypical secondary sex traits (ie; extra nipples, no breasts, etc) who does not feel as though the label of "intersex" fits them. This is considered the grey area between intersex and perisex.
Ersex: A person who is unsure of whether they are intersex or perisex, due to physical events that could have changed their sex traits. (Ie; A person who had an accident that could have potentially injured their ovaries, and they have no way to tell if their low levels of estrogen are a result of their accident, or if they have an intersex variation that causes hypoestrogenism.)
(Note: Perisex, intersex, dysex, and ersex are not labels a person can "transition" into, as they describe natal sex, not internal sex identities. So a perisex person cannot "transition to intersex", an intersex person can't have their intersexuality "removed" from them through procedures, etc.)
Cissex: A person who identifies with their natal sex traits.
Transsex: A person who desires sex traits that differs from the ones they natally developed. A person can be transsex while not being transgender.
Transgenital: A transsex identity for people who desire genitals that differ from the ones they natally developed.
Transreproductive (Transrepro): A transsex identity for people who desire reproductive organs that differ from the ones they natally developed. Transgonadal refers specifically to someone who desires different gonads than what they natally developed.
Transhormonal: A transsex identity for people who desire a hormone profile that differs from the one they natally developed.
Altersex: A transsex identity for people who desire sex traits that are mixed, null, or not natally seen within humans. (This identity is sometimes also used by sysmates within systems whose innerworld bodies have those sex traits.) Duomorphic, multisex, nullsex, and xenosex fall under this.
Duomorphic: A person who desires a mixture of sex traits that they did not natally have (ie; a person born with a vulva who desires a penis & vagina together.) You may also hear people using terms like "salmacian" or "aphrodisian" in reference to this identity, however the intersex community finds these terms problematic due to their connection with the origin of the intersexist h-slur. (Read more on that here [link.])
Multisex: A person who identifies as multiple sexes at the same time.
Sexnull: A person who feels that their sex is best described as lacking or absent, or who desires for their sex traits to be null.
Xenosex: A person who feels that their sex is best described through concepts, objects, or nonhumans.

Non-binary: A person who isn't a monogender binary man or monogender binary woman. This can be an umbrella term for all genders (or lack thereof) that stray from a monogendered binary, or it could be used as a lone identity.

(Monogender is an umbrella term to describe anyone who isn't multigender; anyone who has only a singular gender is monogender.)
Genderfluid: A multigender person whose gender changes. How often it changes depends on the person (ie; multiple times every day, one every few days, once every few weeks, etc). They may have a few specific genders they rotate between (ie; rotating between man, woman, and neutrois) or they may have randomized gender experiences.
Genderflux: A multigender person whose gender fluctuates in intensity. For example, a girlflux person might fluctuate between being a woman, being a demigirl, and being genderless. Another example is a xenoflux person who fluctuates between demixenine and xenogender, but never becomes fully genderless.
Genderfluidflux: A multigender person whose gender fluctuates in intensity and also changes. For example, a person who is boyflux one day, and androgyneflux the next day.

Polyamory labelled by partner/logistical dynamics:
[PT: Polyamory labelled by partner/logistical dynamics:]
Kitchen Table Polyamory/KTP: A structure where all of the paramours or metamours have close relationships, and frequently interact. The metaphor is that people in a KTP relationship would âall gather around a dinner table to have dinner together on a frequent basis.â
Garden Party Polyamory/GTP: A structure where the paramours or metamours interact with each other less frequently than with KTP, but are still relatively well-acquainted. The metaphor used is that people in a GTP relationship would âall meet up during special occasions (garden party, neighborhood grill party, birthday party, etc), but wouldnât necessarily go out of their way to interact with one another aside from that.â There might be a few close relationships, but not enough to constitute a KTP. Â
Parallel Polyamory: A structure where the paramours do not discuss the relationships of metamours with each other, but still know of the metamours existence and baseline information (ie; age, name, pronouns, etc.) They may also be close with their partnerâs metamours, but do not discuss the relationships. For example, Miram is dating Tomas, Olivia, and Lora - Tomas is friends with Olivia and Lora, however he prefers not to hear about Olivia & Loraâs romantic or sexual involvements with Miram.
Egalitarian Polyamory: A structure where all paramours and metamours have equal control over relationship decisions (finances, scheduling, etc) and equal time/effort spent together.
Hierarchical Polyamory: A structure where different paramours/metamours have different âranksâ in the relationship, and are assigned different levels of responsibility and effort. This is sorted into three tiers - primary, secondary, and tertiary. People can have one or multiple partners in each category - it just depends on the individual (ie; a person who has five primary partners, one secondary partner, and two tertiary partners.)Â
Primary Partner describes a partner with the highest priority. They are usually nesting partners and often have the most control of finances and decision making for the polycule.
Secondary Partner describes a partner with a lower degree of involvement than a primary partner. How low that degree is depends on whether there are also tertiary partners involved.
Tertiary Partner describes a partner with a lower degree of involvement than a secondary partner. Â
A Competitive Relationship is a hierarchical relationship where the ranks (primary, secondary, or tertiary) are determined based on a frequent (ie; monthly) competition. This competition is done in good fun (ie; a building competition in Minecraft, a board game, a water gun fight, etc), and there are some pre-established rules for the winners (ie; âdonât overspend our shared money.â)
Solo Polyamory/Free Relations: A polyamorous relationship where a person has intimate relationships with others, while prioritizing oneself. It may be described as âmaking oneself the primary partner, and all other partners are secondary or tertiary.â Solo polyamorists donât desire a relationship-centric life; they may not wish to share homes or finances with their partners. They still tend to their partnersâ emotional needs, and do not neglect them; they just live a self-focused life (which all partners are aware of before joining the relationship.) Some solo polyamorists refer to themselves as Singleish.
Equiamory/Pluriamory/Synamory/Polyfidelity/Polyexclusivity/Polyfaithful: A structure where every member of the relationship is equal (egalitarian) and are all dating each other. There are no metamours, only paramours. An equiamorous relationship might be called a Pluriad/Group Relationship.
Paxamory: A structure where a person desires for only a few partners, and for their partners to either only date each other and/or only have a select few metamours. They wish for their polycule to be small, and to close the relationship once everyone has selected their few partners. It could be egalitarian or hierarchical.Â
Rotationship: A polyamorous relationship where four (or more) people regularly swap out the housing locations of partners on a scheduled or semi-scheduled basis. The swap can be even or odd, depending on the number of partners. It can be done for partners who live close by, or partners who are long distance. If the partners live close by, they can still meet up for dates or hangouts; it is simply their housing that changes.
Reproamory: A polyamorous relationship where a person starts a polycule or adds a new partner to their polycule, for the purpose of reproduction. This could be due to the previously established partners having incompatible sexes for reproduction, due to infertility issues with previously established partners, etc.
Line Relationship: A polyamorous setup, where new younger partners are added into the relationship whenever the older partners age. The oldest partners may not date the youngest partners, depending on how large the age gap is (however, the line ONLY includes people who are 18+.) Line relationships typically start as a way to continue the polycule through generations.
For example, there are three partners - one is 53, one is 45, and one is 38. The 38 year old may begin dating a 30-year-old, the 30-year-old may start dating a 25-year-old, and the 25-year-old may start dating a 21-year-old. The oldest members of the group may refuse to date anyone younger than the 30-year-old, but still respect the youngest members as their metamours.
Open Relationship: A setup where people in a committed relationship (typically a couple, however there could be more than two members) decide to allow one another to date or engage intimately with people outside of their relationship. This could be done for exploratory purposes, for reproductive purposes, due to one partner having a lower libido or having different limitations in attraction, and/or due to one partner being monogamous while the other is not.
Geographical Non-Monogamy describes people who temporarily open their relationship (specifically open it to undedicated relations, such as hookups) when they are physically apart from their partners (ie; on vacation, on a work trip, etc) - once they are physically reunited, the relationship is closed again. This may be considered a form of mutoamory.
Swinging describes people who have a purely sexual open relationship, to engage in sexual social activities, sex work, or reproductive activities. Some examples of this include the following:
- A couple who goes to sex clubs and hooks up with people there.
- A quad who occasionally invites a random fifth person to hookup with them for a one night stand.
- A triad where one or multiple of the partners are sex workers, who regularly have sex with people outside of the relationship.
- Two (or more) couples who swap partners to have sex with. This may turn into a sexual rotationship, if it is done on a scheduled basis.
- A couple who invites a third person to have sex with for the purpose of reproduction, or two (or more) couples who swap partners for the purpose of reproduction. This differs from reproamory because they do not form a polycule together afterwards.

Attraction Types
[PT: Attraction types.]
Social Attraction: An umbrella term for any attraction that is social in nature. What is considered under this umbrella is up for personal interpretation, but oftentimes it includes platonic and familial attraction.Â
Emotional Attraction: An umbrella term for any attraction that is emotional in nature. What is considered under this umbrella is up to personal interpretation, but oftentimes it includes platonic, familial, romantic, queerplatonic, and alterous attraction.Â
Platonic Attraction: A platonic desire for someone/something. What is considered "platonic" varies from culture to culture, however it typically includes desires such as sharing hobbies, sharing emotions, and oftentimes some degree of physical touch (though that is not always necessary.) It is often described as "a desire for companionship." The platonic desire for someone/something is a Squish (ie; "I have a squish on Dustin.")Â
A Passionate Friendship/Affectionate Friendship is a platonic relationship that holds a high level of commitment and/or energy, and is ranked towards the top of an individual's personal relationship tier list. The platonic partner of someone with a passionate friendship is called a PF. The desire for a passionate friendship with someone/something is a Pash. Some people consider passionate friendships to be QPRs.
Familial Attraction: A familial desire for someone/something. What is considered "familial" varies from culture to culture, however it typically includes similar desires to platonic attraction, except it usually has more focus around starting traditions and sharing assets. Familial attraction is not limited to blood/legal relatives, nor is it necessarily always felt towards blood/legal relatives either.Â
Romantic Attraction: A romantic desire for someone/something. What is considered "romantic" varies from culture to culture/person to person, however it typically includes desires such as sharing hobbies, sharing emotions, having dates, potentially living together/sharing assets, potentially marriage/legal partnership, potentially starting a family together, and/or intimate physical or emotional interactions that the person would not be comfortable doing with people they have non-romantic feelings for. The romantic desire for someone/something is a Crush.Â
People with romantic attraction often have physical sensations around their crushes. This might include fuzzy/tingling feelings in the stomach or chest, heart-racing or heart-pounding, feelings of warmth in the stomach/chest or neck/face/shoulders, goosebumps or an electric feeling when touched by them, difficulty breathing (or an easier time breathing around them), and lightheadedness.
They may also have emotional responses to being around their crush, such as increased anxiety in comparison to when they are around non-crushes (typically worries of embarrassing themself, seeming weird, or offending their crush) or lessened anxiety/a feeling of ease and comfortability they don't experience around non-crushes.
A Soft Romo is a romantic relationship that holds a low level of commitment and/or energy, and is treated rather casually. The desire for a soft romo with someone/something is a Fluff.Â
Queerplatonic Attraction: A queerplatonic desire for someone/something. âQueerplatonicâ generally describes attraction that is intensely platonic with traditionally romantic qualities (while having no romantic attraction involved), or somewhere in-between romantic and platonic attraction. A queerplatonic relationship is often called a QPR. The queerplatonic partner of someone is sometimes called a Marshmallow/Mellowfriend or Zucchini. The queerplatonic desire for someone/something is a Squish, Squash, Plush, or Crish.
Alterous Attraction: An alterous desire for someone/something. âAlterousâ generally describes a deep emotional attraction that is not distinctly romantic or platonic, but from an outside lens is misinterpreted in that way. Sometimes queerplatonic attraction is considered to be under the alterous umbrella, however alterous attraction can also describe emotional attraction that is completely disconnected from platonic and romantic attraction whatsoever. The alterous desire for someone/something is a Mesh or Hush.
Physical Attraction: An umbrella term for any attraction that is physical in nature. This includes aesthetic, sensual, and sexual attraction.Â
Aesthetic Attraction: An aesthetic desire for someone/something. âAestheticâ (in this context) generally describes a personâs physical characteristics (hair, eyes, shape, voice, etc), a personâs presentation (fashion, hairstyle, etc), and/or how a person carries themself (body language, âvibeâ, etc.) The aesthetic desire for someone/something is a Swish or Thete.
Sensual Attraction: A sensual desire for someone/something. âSensualâ generally describes non-sexual physical touch, however it can also include voice and scent. A sensual relationship is often called a Senseship. The sensual desire for someone/something is a Lush.
Sexual Attraction: A sexual desire for someone/something. This generally includes a desire for touching/groping and/or enacting kinks/fetishes that provide sexual pleasure. A purely sexual relationship is often called an Intimaship, while a sexual & platonic relationship is often called a Casual Relationship/Friends With Benefits.
Libido describes a bodyâs physical desire for sex. This differs from sexual attraction, because sexual attraction is directed at someone/something, meanwhile libido is the body craving sexual release. Libido and sexual attraction can align for people who experience both, however they can also occur unaligned.
Allolibidoist/Normolibidoist describes a person who experiences regular spikes in their libido. Hyperlibidoist describes a person who experiences more spikes in their libido than most other people. Hypolibidoist describes a person who rarely experiences spikes in their libido, or whose libido spikes are dull and donât last very long. Non-Libidoist describes a person who has no libido.
Sexual Arousal describes the bodyâs physical response to touch in a sexually sensitive area, or the bodyâs physical response to sexual attraction or libido. This includes genital arousal (wetness, erections, heat, etc), and/or physical responsiveness elsewhere in the body (ie; blushing.) A person can experience sexual arousal while not experiencing sexual attraction or a libido spike (ie; a person who is accidentally touched on their crotch may grow aroused, even if they do not find the person who touched them to be attractive.) Arousal is not the same as desire, as a person can be aroused and distressed or uncomfortable by their arousal.
Waveric Attraction/Waverous Attraction/Fluidic Attraction: A fluid desire for someone/something. For example, a person who feels platonic attraction towards someone one day, and romantic attraction towards them the next. The waveric desire for someone/something is called a Wish.
Nonrose Attraction: An umbrella term for any attraction that is not romantic or sexual ("ro" being for romance, and "se" being for sexual attraction.)Â
Loveless: A person who feels disconnected to the word âloveâ, and wishes to describe their enjoyment or attachment towards things with other words (ie; appreciation, admiration, connection, etc) or with no words at all. This could be due to neurodivergence, feeling rejected by the culture surrounding love, etc. Heartless is a similar term, describing a person who feels disconnected from love and romance.Â
Attraction Stances: A collection of terms to describe how a person feels about attraction-based experiences/actions. The stances are generally sorted into five categories - favorable, indifferent, averse, repulsed, and ambivalent.Â
In terms of experiences/actions, it is generally sorted into the following categories - social, emotional, friendship/plato (platonic attraction), family, romance, queerplatonic, alterous, physical, look (aesthetic attraction), touch (sensual attraction), and sex.
A person's stances may sometimes change over time, either randomly or due to psychological exploration and/or traumatic experiences.
-Favorable describes a person who has positive feelings towards the experience/actions. For example, a friendship-favorable person enjoys platonic interactions.
-Indifferent/-Neutral describes a person who has neutral feelings towards the experiences/actions. For example, a look-indifferent person who has no strong feelings about aesthetic attraction.
-Averse describes a person who experiences personal dislike towards the experience/actions, but not necessarily dislike towards it as a concept. For example, a sex-averse person who dislikes the idea of being in a sexual setting (ie; strip club), but doesnât mind hearing about other peopleâs experiences there.
-Repulsed describes a person who experiences repulsion towards the experiences/actions, often to a point where they feel physical distress (anxiety, nausea, etc) at even the concept. For example, a romance-repulsed person who feels visceral discomfort at romantic actions, even when it's exchanged between other people.
-Ambivalent describes a person who experiences complicated or fluid feelings towards the experiences/actions. For example, a touch-ambivalent person who feels extreme discomfort towards touch sometimes, while seeking out touch other times.

Being aqueerplatonic and analterous is considered a social norm for alloromantics in most locations, however there is often societal pressure for arospec people to experience queerplatonic or alterous attraction as a âreplacementâ for their romantic attraction. An alloromantic being aqp/analt is generally considered a nonqueer experience, while an aromantic being aqp/analt is generally considered queer.
Grey-: A person who experiences attraction on low levels and/or only under specific circumstances.
Pseudo-: A person who has an experience that mimics a form of attraction which they do not experience. For example, an asexual person who experiences sensual attraction that is so strong that it mimics sexual attraction may use the label pseudosexual.Â
-Flux: A person whose level of attraction fluctuates. For example, an anaeflux person who fluctuates between being bold stripe anaesthetic, greyaesthetic, and alloaesthetic.

-Jump: A person who usually experiences allo- levels of attraction but experiences rare intense drops of attraction for a short period of time, before their usual levels of attraction return. For example, an apl-jump person who is usually alloplatonic, but every few years experiences a week or two of aplatonicism.
Aego-: An a-spec term for a person who enjoys/experiences an aspect of attraction, but feels repulsed or indifferent about engaging with others in real life. A person may be aego in all forms of attraction, or only in one form (ie; being alloromantic but aegosexual, allorose but aegosensual, etc).
Some aego- experiences may includeâŚ
- Craving/indulging in attraction-based acts in private, but feeling distaste or disinterest about including others (ie; An aegosexual person who masturbates, but feels repulsed about having sex.)
- Having fantasies, but only ever imagining other people, never themself (ie; An aegosensual person who imagines people cuddling, but feels disinterested at the idea of themself being involved.)
- Having fantasies, but every other person is faceless or unidentifiable (ie; An aegoromantic person who imagines a wedding with a blacked-out figure, but the idea of marrying someone in reality repulses them.)
- Having unachievable fantasies that cannot be recreated in reality (ie; An aegoalterous person who imagines having an astronaut x extraterrestrial relationship with their hush, but feels indifferent about having a real relationship with their hush.)
- Only ever experiencing attraction towards unachievable people (ie; celebrities, sub-celebrities, fictional characters, historical figures, etc). This is also known as being Procul-.Â
Procul- subtypes include Cele-/Celeb- (primary attraction to celebrities/sub-celebrities), Ficto- (primary attraction to fictional characters), Anime-/Manga- (primary attraction to anime/manga characters), Carto- (primary attraction to cartoon/comic characters), Inrea- (primary attraction to live action characters), Booklo-/Novelo- (primary attraction to book characters), Gamo- (primary attraction to video game characters), and Imagi- (primary attraction to characters that have no visual reference, such as characters from podcasts, audiobooks, books without photographs, etc.)
Litho-: An a-spec term for a person who experiences attraction, but loses it once itâs been reciprocated. If it is reciprocated, it will either gradually fade away with time, or immediately dissipate.
Aliqua-: An a-spec term for a person who experiences attraction under specific circumstances. These circumstances can be anything, and vary from person-to-person (ie; a person who only feels attraction during autumn.) Aliqua- subtypes include recipro-, poten-, loqui-, noeti-, demi-, fray-, apex-, valis-, den-, daleko-, blisko-, and chronosa-.
Recipro- describes a person who can only reciprocate attraction, meaning that they only experience attraction towards people who confess that they are attracted to them first, or people who they notice are attracted to them first. Their newfound attraction could either flood them all at once, or it could slowly begin building once they discover the person is interested in them.
Poten- describes a person who only feels attraction towards someone who they know has the potential to reciprocate. For example, a gay man who discovers that their coworker is achillean, and begins to develop attraction towards their coworker as a result. The coworker doesnât have to confess first, and may not actually be interested in them; it is simply the potential of a relationship that allows the attraction to develop.
Loqui- describes a person who only feels attracted towards someone that they have individually interacted with before. This does not mean that they will be attracted to every person they interact with; itâs just that interacting with someone is what opens the potential for attraction. Some loqui- people are only able to experience attraction towards people they have one-on-one interactions with, while other loqui- people can develop attraction to people theyâve interacted with in group settings as well. They cannot develop attraction towards peers theyâve never spoken to, strangers they havenât spoken to, celebrities/sub-celebrities that theyâve never met, fictional characters, historical figures, etc.
Noeti- describes a person who only feels attracted towards someone that they have a mental connection with. This mental connection could be religious beliefs, political beliefs, moral beliefs, special interests/hyperfixations, shared hobbies, or just general shared mindsets. Emotional closeness is not necessary for attraction to develop - only mental closeness is necessary.
Demi- describes a person who only feels attraction towards someone that they have a deep personal connection with. It may take weeks, months, or even years for a demi- person to develop attraction towards somebody, depending on how often and in-depth they talk to this person. It differs from noeti-, because demi- people can develop attraction towards people with vastly different mindsets to oneself (so long as they have an emotional connection), while noeti- people cannot.
Fray- describes a person who only feels attraction towards someone that they do not know well. As they get to know someone, their attraction fades away. It is considered the opposite of noeti- and demi-.
Apex- describes a person who only feels attraction towards someone that they have a deep personal connection with - however, once the relationship deepens even further, the attraction fades away again. The attraction is brief and inevitable to fade every time they develop feelings for someone they grow close to. Apex- is considered a mix of demi- and fray-, where demi-attraction leads into fray-attraction.
Valis-/Igcedimus describes a person who only feels attraction towards someone that they do not know well. As they get to know someone, their attraction fades away - however, once the relationship deepens even further, the attraction begins to return. Valis- is considered a mix of fray- and demi-, where fray-attraction leads into demi-attraction.
Den-/Ochi- describes a person who only feels attraction towards someone they are not interacting with. Once they interact with a person again, the attraction either pauses, begins to fade, or instantly dissipates. It may or may not resume/return again as they spend time apart.
Daleko- describes a person who only feels attraction towards someone they are physically distant with. Daleko- people tend to prefer long-distance relationships and calls/texting over meeting in-person. If they meet in-person, their attraction either pauses, begins to fade, or instantly dissipates. It may or may not resume/return again as they go back to long-distance.
Blisko- describes a person who only feels attraction towards someone they are in the physical presence of. Blisko- people may only experience attraction during face-to-face interactions, or they may also experience it during video calls or while looking at photos.
Chronosa- describes a person who only feels attraction towards someone after a long amount of time. Unlike demi-, it doesnât take knowing someone well; just knowing them for a long time. Sometimes chronosa- people can tell that they will develop attraction towards someone before it happens, and can take steps to prepare for it.
Cupio-: An a-spec term for a person who does not experience a specific type of attraction, but desires a relationship/experience based upon that attraction (ie; a bold stripe aromantic person who desires a romance-based relationship.) Fray- or apex- people might identify as cupio- if they decide to continue a relationship with someone, even after their attraction fades. People with attraction-based/relation-based jobs may use this label as well (ie; sex workers who have sexual interactions with people they are not attracted to.)
The cupio- label may be applied to specific genders. For example, a person who is triaqueerplatonic, but cupioqueerplatonic towards binary genders.
Cupiohex describes someone that is mono straight/strayt, but engages in sapphic/achillean (possibly certain types of diamoric) relationships/experiences. Cupiogex describes someone that is mono uranian or mono lesbian, but engages in straight relationships/experiences.
Orchid-: An a-spec term for someone that feels attraction, but is incapable of acting upon it due to mental or physical disconnect. Orchid- people have never felt the desire to act upon their attraction.
Nopota-: An a-spec term for someone that feels attraction, but does not have the energy to act on it. This could be due to neurodivergence, trauma, disability/dysfunction, or it could have no specific reason. Unlike orchid- people, nopota- people do desire to act upon their attraction; they are simply incapable of it.Â
Woland-: An a-spec term for someone whose attraction decreases based upon their disability. For example, someone who becomes fully asexual whenever their chronic pain spikes up. Not all disabled people are woland-.
-vague: An a-spec term for someone who has limited attraction due to their neurodivergence. For example, a person who is touch-repulsed due to being a germaphobe, and feels as though their touch-repulsion limits their ability to feel sensual or sexual attraction. Not all neurodivergent people are -vague.
Asovague is for social attraction, Aemovague is for emotional attraction, Aplvague is for platonic attraction, Afamvague is for familial attraction, Arovague is for romantic attraction, Aqpvague is for queerplatonic attraction, Analtvague is for alterous attraction, Aphysvague is for physical attraction, Anaevague is for aesthetic attraction, Asenvague is for sensual attraction, Acevague is for sexual attraction, Aroacevague/Arosevague is for sexual & romantic attraction, and Awavague is for waveric attraction.Â
Eras-: An a-spec term for someone who feels as though they used to be allo-, but their attraction was erased. Caed- is the same as eras-, but specifically for someone who lost their attraction due to trauma. For both eras- and caed-, traces of their attraction may still remain.
Eligere-: An a-spec term for someone who can actively choose who they are attracted to, and ignite feelings of attraction at will. They may be able to ignite their attraction on the spot, or they may need time to focus on the person and build the attraction.
Anseqresexual: An ace-spec term for someone that only feels sexual attraction if no romantic attraction is involved. What counts as âromanticâ depends on the individual. For example, Zym is anseqresexual, and has a romantic relationship with Alexni, and a sexual relationship with Galaxis. If Galaxis expresses romantic interest (such as offering to go on a date), Zym feels disinterested or repulsed by it - and vice versa if Alexni expresses sexual interest.Â
Another example is that Zym has a romantic and sexual relationship with Suko, but keeps both aspects separated. If Suko mixes romantic gestures with sexual ones (ie; putting rose petals on the bed, using a romantic nickname, etc), Zym feels disinterested in engaging further. However, if Suko keeps both things separated - such as having a date in the morning, and engaging in sex during the night, with no overlap - Zym would be interested.
Ansequencesexual: An ace-spec term for someone that only feels sexual attraction to people if no romantic attraction is felt. If romantic attraction develops, the sexual attraction fades, as if the romantic attraction is taking its place. They may still have sexual relationships for the sake of libido, physical intimacy with their partner, physical pleasure, etc.
Ansequenceromantic: An aro-spec term for someone that only feels romantic attraction to people if no sexual attraction is felt. If sexual attraction develops, the romantic attraction fades, as if the sexual attraction is taking its place.
Ansequencerose: An aro-spec and ace-spec term for someone that is both ansequencesexual and ansequenceromantic. If they feel sexual attraction to someone first, and romantic attraction develops, the romantic attraction takes the place of the sexual attraction. If they feel romantic attraction to someone first, and sexual attraction develops, the sexual attraction takes the place of the romantic attraction.
Orgasace describes someone who is incapable of orgasming, due to losing their sexual attraction towards the person they are engaging sexually with at the last moment.Â
Orgasflux describes someone who fluctuates between being capable of orgasming, and being orgasace. Orgasspike describes someone who is usually incapable of orgasming due to losing their sexual attraction last second, but on rare and sudden spikes of being capable of orgasm.Â
Orgasexceptis describes someone who is only capable of orgasming with one or a few select people, unrelated to the sexual skill of the person/people (ie; a polyamorous person who can only orgasm with one of their partners, despite the other partners being sexually skilled and not doing anything wrong.)
Uni-: An a-spec identity, in which a person is only attracted to a singular person for a very long period of time, potentially their entire lifetime. For example, a uniromantic person who is only attracted to one person for a decade, and once the decade is over, they finally develop a crush on a second person. This does not necessarily mean that they obsessed over their crush for all those years - their attraction may have faded rather quickly - it is just that they did not experience a second crush for a very long time.
A uni- person does not have to be close to the person they experienced attraction towards. For example, they may have experienced attraction towards a stranger.
Soloamare is similar to uni-, but instead of being attracted to only one person, they are attracted to a select few people.
Auto-: A term describing a person that is attracted to oneself. Most people experience small amounts of self-attraction (ie; looking at oneself in the mirror and thinking âI look nice todayâ), however auto- people experience it at a high enough level that it is considered significant.Â
Auto- people may be primarily or exclusively attracted to themself, or they may experience attraction to both themself and other people. If they experience attraction to other people, they may use additional labels (ie; a neutrois person that is attracted to themself and women may use the term bi-auto, biauto, auto-bi, autobi, etc.) Even if a person is exclusively self-attracted, these additional labels might be used by multigender autos who are only attracted to themself when they are a specific gender, or autos who are only attracted to themself with specific presentations (ie; a fin-auto person who is only attracted to themself when dressed femininely).
Auto attraction is not the same as selfishness or egoism. An auto person can be humble (or even have low self-esteem), while still finding themself attractive.
Self-Partnering: A term describing a person who dates oneself. They may or may not be auto- as well, or they may be dating oneself for other reasons, such as spiritual reasons, as a political statement, etc. Autoamory describes a person who dates oneself while also dating other people.
Autospec: An umbrella term for all auto- orientations, including self-partnering and autoamory.
Ecto-: A person who is exclusively attracted to (and dating, if they are interested in dating) people other than oneself; the opposite of auto-.
Objectum/Pygmalio-: Attraction towards objects. These objects can be physical (ie; consumable items, cloth items, decorative items, toys, technological items, furniture, plants, buildings, physical art, etc) or non-physical (ie; flavors, music, logos, programs, digital art, etc.) Objectum people may be attracted to specific types of objects (ie; only attracted to plants and wooden furniture), or attracted to any type of object.Â
Many (but not all) objectum people are neurodivergent in some way (typically with a neurodevelopmental disability or synaesthesia, but other neurodivergence can apply as well), or believe in animism (the concept that objects have souls.) Some objectum people apply personalities and identities onto the objects they are attracted to, while others are attracted to objects without any personality/identity being applied.
Objectum people may be exclusively attracted to objects, or they might be attracted to people as well. If an objectum person is only attracted to objects that they give specific gendered identities to, they may use an additional label to describe that (ie; a woman who is only attracted to objects that they view as âwomenâ may call themself lesbian-objectum/objectum-lesbian/lesbijectum/objectbian.)
Objectum people often refer to the objects of their attraction as Beloved Objects. Beloved objects can be private (objects that a person owns) or public (objects that are publicly available, such as a slide at a public park.)
Idisexual: A label describing someone that is not sexually attracted to sex traits, but is sexually attracted to other traits instead. This could be physical traits (ie; tattoos, skin tags, height, hair color, etc) or non-physical traits (gestures, hobbies, fashion, titles, names, etc.) They may or may not consider themself to be ace-spec.
Pronoun-/Prono-: A label describing someone who is only attracted to people who use specific pronouns (ie; a person who is attracted to people who use neopronouns.) For some people, this attraction is gender-specific and may be combined with another label (ie; a a prono-triasexual who is only attracted to non-binary people who use xe/xem, xe/xer, ze/zem, or zi/zer, or similar pronouns), while for other people this term this term is used to describe attraction to people regardless of gender (ie; a person who is attracted to people who use she/her pronouns, regardless of whether they are a woman, non-binary, a pronoun non-conforming man, etc.)Â
Nomine- describes someone who is only attracted to people who use specific names (ie; someone who is only attracted to people who use the name Jess/Jesse, Jessie, or Jessica.)
Idisexual, pronoun-, and nomine- may all overlap with objectum, as part of the attraction may be rooted in the objects/concepts themselves (ie; an idisexual objectum person may be attracted to specific fashion items on a person, because they are attracted to the clothes themselves, which in turn causes them to be attracted to the person wearing said clothes.)
