Rheasexuality is an identity on the Asexual Spectrum, close to demisexual. People who are rheasexual are uncomfortable and/or disgusted by sex, while still experiencing sexual attraction. This label does not apply to allosexual people or people who are completely asexual. While sometimes compared to Lithosexual, people who are rheasexual can, and often do want that sexual attraction reciprocated. The idea of sex is repellent until they experience that attraction, and can still be opposed to the idea of experiencing sexual activities outside of that attraction.
Etymology[]
A joint definition of the Greek words rhe, meaning “to flow”, and Rhea, the Greek titan of comfort. This joint definition signals rheasexuals’ comfort with sexuality changing while they experience said sexual attraction.
