coining post: visceric attraction.
visceric attraction is an very intense, overwhelming form of connection to another person that can be romantic, sexual, platonic, or familial. it can feel all-consuming, as if a part of your own identity is diminished or overtaken by the strength of the bond. it also often comes with powerful protective impulses that can border on aggression, as if their safety and well-being are inseparable from your own.
this type of attraction can be amplified by certain factors, such as trauma, neurodivergence, mental illness, or alterhumanity.
it can be used as a modifier for other identities as well, for example “viscerigay”, “visceriles”, “visceriace”, etc. as a modifier, it is noted with the prefix visceri.
anyone can use this term. if this has already been coined, consider this a recoin.
