#apothi

What is the Aspec Glossary?

Apothi- is a microlabel prefix that indicates that the person in question is averse to or repulsed by the type of relationship that is associated with that type of attraction. "Apothi" comes from the Greek word "apothimeno", which means repulsed.

Apothiromantics are typically either romance-averse or romance-repulsed. They may be uncomfortable with or disgusted by the idea of romance, romantic actions, and romantic relationships in general, or only with regard to engaging in those personally.

Apothisexuals are typically either sex-averse or sex-repulsed. They may be uncomfortable with or disgusted by the idea of sex, sexual actions, and sexual relationships in general, or only with regard to engaging in those personally.

Apothiroses or apothiaroaces are both apothiromantic and apothisexual.

Apothiplatonics are typically either plato-averse or plato-repulsed. They may be uncomfortable with or disgusted by the idea of friendship, platonic actions, and platonic relationships in general, or only with regard to engaging in those personally.

If you make/reblog posts talking about how "aro/ace people are valid!" But dismiss anyone who says theyre sex or romance repulsed by saying "but all humans have a sex drive!",

.....You are part of the problem.

Apothi aro/ace people exist, and are in fact part of the ace spectrum.

For some people being sex/romance repulsed was choice, or just personal preference; for others it can be caused by personal reasons or trauma. We literally can't help it.

Contrary to common belief; most of the time we aren't "anti kink" or "puritans", or whatever the public wants you to think. Some such as myself don't fully understand why people like romance or sexual activity so much and that's okay; that doesn't mean they're against it.

I for one am an apothisexual panromantic and am in a very happy romantic non-sexual relationship with my girlfriend and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I also have favourite foods, favourite animals, and I watch TV shows and go to college and work everyday, usually a bit late.

I am in fact, a human being, contrary to common belief.

For those who are repulsed by the kind of attraction capyromantic entails. Capyromantic being when one goes along with being in a romantic relationship if the other person is/has already assumed they're in a relationship.
