If someone asked you if you were asexual, you would probably say 'no, I'm normal.' If so, the time has come to add a word to the dictionary. Meet alloseksuality or aloeksuality, how to be successful.
"The sexually explicit term is used to describe someone who is not asexual," says Rena McDaniel, an expert on gender and sexual identity.
In other words, the use of the aloexual term undermines the idea that sexual attraction is a standard and those identified as being asexual are not normal.
To better understand what we are talking about, you need to understand what is asexual. In thick lines, asexuality means not to feel sexual attraction to others. There are sexually-available asexuals, sexually-available asexuals, masculine asexuals. However, none of these makes an asexual person less such. All lies in identification.
It is worth repeating that the term aloseksual makes asexual persons as normal as all others in the sexual spectrum. No identity is more normal than another.
In conclusion, if you feel sexual attraction to others, you are aloseksual.
