Aemuloime Attraction: a type of attraction characterized by copying, imitation, & mimicry. this could be copying, imitating, or mimicking others, and/or wanting to be copied, imitated, or mimicked, for entertainment, as a form of flattery and/or affection, wanting to “be” someone/wanting someone to “be” you, etc. made with alterhumans/nonhumans in mind, as well as neurodivergent individuals, but not exclusive.

this attraction may be felt entwined with or at the same time as Amoinvidian (link), Envious (link), & Offis (link) attraction, but doesn’t have to be.

Aemuloime terminology can be decided by the user! but here’s some terminology we came up with:

aemush or aemulush; who one has aemuloime feelings for

aemu or aemupar; one in an aemuloime relationship

imitaem; the one being copied, imitated, or mimicked in the relationship

effiloime; the one copying, imitating, or mimicking in the relationship

aemuship or consoime; an aemuloime relationship

aemulity or aemuloimity; one’s aemuloime orientation

Felaffectis

(AKA cat-like attraction)

A form of alteraffectis attraction where you experience attraction in a similar way or the same way as a cat, or express it in the same way (ex: happy purring, cuddling with someone, etc).

Now obviously people can't literally purr and don't have fur. But the term is for people who view themselves as having cat-like mannerisms, or catkin/cat nonhumans.

Name comes from “feline” + “affectis”.

Presential attraction

Flags in order from top left to bottom right: presential attraction, apresential, apres-spec, demipresential, autopresential, fraypresential, cupiopresential, apresflux, aprespike.

Presential attraction: attraction based on wanting to know someone through their physical presence.

Presential attraction is the opposite of virtudinal attraction. This is a type of tertiary attraction (or physical attraction) and is not the same as wanting to know someone IRL or wanting physical contact/touch.

Apresential: not experiencing presential attraction.

Apres-spec: experiencing atypical or little presential attraction.

Demipresential: only experiencing presential attraction to someone after you form a(n emotional) connection to them.

Greypresential: experiencing atypical presential attraction (or relating to apresential experiences but not fully).

Autopresential: experiencing presential attraction to yourself (more than is typical). Examples may include wanting to spend time with (a version of) yourself or wanting to be in your own physical presence.

Fraypresential: experiencing presential attraction to someone when you first meet them or get to know them, but then the attraction fades after you form a stronger connection to them. The opposite of demipresential.

Cupiopresential: not experiencing presential attraction, but still desiring a relationship based off presential attraction or physically spending a lot of time with someone (ex: living with them or just enjoying their presence).

Apresflux: when your orientation fluctuates on the apres spectrum. Some people may become allopresential or completely apresential at times, others just have small changes in the amount of presential attraction they feel.

Aprespike: usually feeling no or very little presential attraction, but sometimes having (more intense) spikes of attraction before returning to baseline.

Flags are based off the original presential attraction flag (eyestrain warning if you click on the link), the demi/greysexual flags, the auto-spec flag, the fray/cupiosexual flags, and the aceflux/spike flags.

Also please note that there is a cool presential flag redesign here (eyestrain warning again) but I wanted to go even simpler/less like the original with mine.

Presential attraction (AKA tangible attraction) was coined in 2018 and the flag was made in 2021, this is just me making some subterms!

I don’t know if there really is any science behind workout routines separated by sex, but even if there is benefit to doing exercise “for women” i don’t give a shit. and i will intentionally seek out guides made For Men. because by and large, this is how the different video thumbnails shake out
