Erossic - a suffix for describing sexual attraction in the split attraction model.
Erossic means sexual attraction. It is based off of the greek word Eros, meaning sexual love or the god of sex.
For example, instead of saying biromantic homosexual, you could say biromantic homoerossic.
I already coined this term a while ago, but I cannot find the original post. (unless I forgot to post it lmao).
I made this term because using words like homosexual and heterosexual to just mean sexual attraction is bad because that's not what they mean, even though they sound like that. Homosexual = exclusively attracted to the same sex. Heterosexual = exclusively attracted to the opposite sex. Bisexual = attracted to both sexes. Asexual = attracted to neither sex/no one, or no sexual attraction. The sexual suffix usually refers what bio sex(es) someone is attracted to, not the act of sex. Thus, a biromantic homoerossic person is still bisexual, and a homoromantic anerossic person is homosexual, not necessarily asexual. however, asexual is often used to mean anerossic instead of aroace.
