[loser-pet]

made some art of my new adopt that I got from @undignified-sad-sandwich ! introducing kapok of the skywings! they’re a sky/rain hybrid who currently lives in the sky kingdom with their father (also fun fact his parents are t4t), and is a very lonely grumpy emo boy. he’s also a demiboy, apothiromantic, and eriscaral (sex conflicted). I really enjoy them, and I’m gonna have a lot of fun adding him to my story :3

Happy Pride to all sex-ambivalent aspecs!

Sex-ambivalent - Someone who has mixed or complicated feelings on the concept or act of sexual interaction. Some common ambivalent experiences include: feelings toward sexual interaction being different with different people or situations, one's feelings being different with different sexual acts, and so on. Commonly used among but not exclusive to acespecs. Sex-ambivalent individuals may also identify as ARCsexual or eriscarnal.

sorry for the spam of asks (we promise this will be the last ask from us for the time) but is there a term where someone switches between being sex favourable and sex averse/repulsed? like sometimes you like the idea of having sex and other times you feel disgusted or upset at the thought of being sexually active

Hello!

The two main terms I know of are sex-oscillating (someone whose feelings towards sex change or fluctuate over time) and ARCflux (an individual who is sex-oscillating)

There is also sex-ambivalent (someone who has mixed or complicated feelings about sex) and eriscarnal (someone who is sex-ambivalent)

[sex-repulsed-culture-is]

Wait is sex-repulsion why I enjoy sex scenes when they cause drama or add to the plot but not when they're in an established relationship and doing it regularly?? When it's for plot/emotions/drama I love it as a plot device but if it's just them doing it the "ewww why are they doing this" takes over...

Sex repulsion is likely the reason you don't like sex scenes when they're there just because. And for the plot device ... Do you still experience repulsion when watching or reading them? If so you might be completely sex-repulsed. If not, maybe you might be sex-ambivalent or, another word for it, eriscarnal.

Eriscarnal is a term under the ARCsexual umbrella for when one has conflicting and/or mixed and/or changing feelings towards sex.

Sex-ambivalent is a term that is used by asexual and other ace-spec individuals to refer to the fact that they have mixed feelings toward sex. Sex-ambivalence refers to anyone who does not fit neatly into the categories of sex-favorable, indifferent, or repulsed.

Sex-ambivalent people are welcome here too since they fall under the ARCsexual umbrella!

Aporisexual

Aporisexual is a similar term or alternative to eriscarnal and sex-ambivalent. It refers to someone who experiences inner conflict about their sexual orientation or acting on it. This may or may not be due to past experiences, trauma, or internalized issues or beliefs. These beliefs may be religious or traditionalist in nature, for example, being attracted to the same gender but feeling conflicted about acting on it due to personal beliefs one was raised in. However, such experiences are not required to be aporisexual. It may also refer to people who desire a sexual relationship or feel sexual attraction, but are sex repulsed.

The term and the flag was created by beyond-mogai-pride-flags on July 12, 2017.[1]

[ask-an-asexual-anything]

Is it possible to be sex repulsed and not asexual? Thanks

Hi! Asexual refers to sexual attraction, not whether or not you like sex. So you could experience sexual attraction without actually wanting to participate in sex. That could be simply put as 'sex-repulsed allosexual'. Eriscarnal also seems like it could work as a label, "one may experience sexual attraction but be repulsed by one's own sexual thoughts" (LGBTA Wiki). Hope this helps!

Ahoy-hoy

I guess this is an obligatory thing I should be doing...

Ahoy-hoy. I'm Jaida.

I am a self-proclaimed queer witchy christian. How does that work? It’ll sound complicated... but firstly, I am a Henotheist. Second of all, I see nature as a mere extension of the work of God, allowing us to worship through the elements he has given us to be steward over. A spell is merely prayer of supplication for others over elements.

I am also a libertarian socialist - somewhere between Council and Ancom. The government and the market are both oppressive forces and cannot be trusted to humans.

Specifically, I’m a panromantic eriscarnal aegosexual androgyne who fancies faerself with big skirts, cute stuff, faeries, and knights. I’m also a bit of a stan for the real Elizabeth Bathory, not the myth of the evil vampiress. I get passionate about how trans people are treated in my state.

And yes, I use fae/faer pronouns.

I like reblogging pastoral photographs that have a sense of... Faewild to it. Like the kind of place where you might bump into a faerie, give them your name and gender and they will give you the ones you’ve always desired.

I also like reblogging wisdom of other witches, and if anyone posts some wise theology stuff, maybe that too.

And coffee. A cup of coffee sounds really nice right now, especially with KNKX’s jazz24 or SiriusXM Watercolors in the background.

I do have a DNI list - if you identify as a radqueer, a fake-clamer, support the overuse of generative artificial intelligence, fascists, militant vanguardist (AKA ‘tankie’), system and transgender medicalists, and unfortunately minors, I have to ask you to not interact.

[acespec-ed]

i have a feeling im somewhere on the acespec but i have no clue what label makes sense, the closest has been aceflux or grayace but im still not sure about them?? basically i do experience sexual attraction, i find plenty of people sexually attractive and rarely have the disconnect of myself from those feelings. the thing is, whenever ive been offered the possibility of sex, i feel oddly uncomfortable with it. i want it, but the prospect of actually doing it has driven me away from it. for all i know it might just be my dysphoria + body dysmorphia, but i just have no way of knowing. is there a label that fits this?? thank you <3

It's possible you could be acespec. Orchidsexual is a label for those who experience sexual attraction, but don't feel the desire to act on it. There's also rheasexual, which is experiencing sexual attraction, but being repulsed by sex. It's also likely that your dysphoria is causing it, which would be dysphorsexual.

Then there's the ARCsexual umbrella you could look into. Both aces and allos can fall under ARCsexual. It's for people who are averse, repulsed, or conflicted towards sex. Discarnal falls under it, which is being averse or repulsed by having sex themselves. Eriscarnal is when you have conflicting feelings about having sex.

You could keep going by gray ace. It’s a big enough umbrella term to encompass all of this. It doesn’t sound like you’re aceflux to me, but maybe you left out details that indicate otherwise.

Also, keep in mind that it’s rare for a label to fit 100% perfectly. And you can use however many labels you want. Or, none at all- some people end up ditching labels altogether because it gets too frustrating to figure out and they discover it doesn’t matter all that much to them.

I hate saying this, but you could just be allosexual, but have some sort of unaddressed issue that’s causing this discomfort, and once you figure out the problem, you could work on it to eventually become comfortable with having sex. (I hope that doesn’t come across as dismissive, but it has happened. Hanging around our spaces might help you figure out if this is the case or not. Regardless of if you’re ace or allo, you could still fall somewhere under ARCsexual.)

Hope this helped! 💜

hi, what is the difference between arcflux and eriscarnal? idk which one i am, and i would like some clarification! (im a biromantic/bisexual afab person, btw, with a teeny preference for men) (i also used to identify as aro/ace, so even tho i dont identify as that anymore, i still have strong ties and attachments to the aspec community)

(sorry I forgot about this for a bit)

Arcflux is where your feelings change; they’re in flux. Eriscarnal has an element of conflict about sex in it; a negative feeling about sex along with your other feelings. 

The two can overlap: some of your arcflux feelings might bounce between having a negative element and not having it. Perhaps you’ve always got a negative element in there, but you also have other feelings and those fluctuate.  

If it sounds messy, that’s because human feelings *are* messy and can do a lot of things that we haven’t really got words for yet. I think that’s part of why it’s hard to talk about messy feelings, because finding words to describe it--even without inventing new ones--is hard.
