Axiosexual

Axiosexual is a sexual orientation in which an individual only expresses interest in or desire to engage in sexual activity with others if some kind of attraction (usually romantic or secondary or primary sexual attraction) is present. Axiosexuals are averse to and/or disinterested in sex with individuals they are not attracted to romantically or sexually, but may engage if sexual and/or other attraction is present. Many axiosexuals are on the asexual spectrum (often also identifying as grayasexual or demisexual) but some allosexuals may also identify as axiosexual.

History
Axiosexual was coined by Jennifer L. Nielsen (wikis user StarTigerJLN), a grayace/genderfluid KU graduate student, on January 20th of 2021.

Etymology
From Greek "axiotheato", meaning attraction, and Greek "axio", meaning worthwhile/suitable.
