OBJECTUM Definition: Objectum Sexuality, also known as Objectum, Objectum Romanticism (OS/OR), or Pygmaliosexual, is the attraction to inanimate objects. This attraction can be sexual, romantic, or both, it can also be a form of tertiary attraction. The objects that an objectum (or 'OS') individual is attracted to are often called "beloved objects". These objects often have names and personalities to the objectum individual. They may go on dates or do other intimate acts with their beloved object. Objectum is not an exclusively queer experience, nor is it inherently LGBT+. Beloved objects can be "private objects", meaning objects that one owns, which can include: toys, cars/trucks, plants, musical instruments, articles of clothing, etc. They can also be "public objects", meaning objects that are something public or in a public space, which can include: buildings, bridges, machines, statues, fences, water, amusement park rides, etc. Objects do not have to be tangible and can also include things such as logos, letters, or concepts. Some objectum individuals are polyamorous, and are dedicated to many objects, while some are devoted to a single object. Objectum individuals can be attracted to individuals as well or they could be exclusively attracted to objects. Some objectum individuals believe in animism; the idea that everything has a spirit or spiritual energy, including individuals, plants, animals, and objects. Others have noted the high number of OS individuals who identify as being on the autism spectrum, leading to the accepted understanding that there are two separate ways to experience objectum sexuality. Some autistic OS individuals have stated that they do not identify as animists and do not feel that objects have a spirit, but that their attraction is the result of synesthesia. Regardless, objectum individuals will often talk to their beloved objects and many feel that the object talks back in its own way.

NEUTROIS Definition: Neutrois is a non-binary gender identity that is associated with having a neutral or null gender. It is an umbrella term, with each individual experiencing neutrois differently. Common definitions include feeling neutrally gendered – feeling neither male, female, nor anything in between, but still feeling strongly gendered (similar to aporagender). Another common definition is feeling null-gendered, genderless or agender – some genderless individuals may identify as both agender and neutrois, while others may prefer one term or the other. Neutrois and agender are occasionally used interchangeably. Neutrois individuals may also identify as transgender. There is debate on how to pronounce "neutrois", though the three most common pronunciations include "'new-twa' (with a guttural ‘r’), 'new-troys', and 'new-trohs.'"
