OCsexual

OCSexual is a term under the fictosexual umbrella in which one has exclusive or near-exclusive sexual attraction to original characters. This could be original characters one made themself, or original characters others around them - such as friends and family - has made. An OCSexual person finds sexual attraction to real people, or those who are not OCs complicated or impossible.

What counts as an OC depends on the identifier. It could be any character coined by someone, or it could be a specific type of OC, such as an OC made by a YouTuber, or an OC made by ones friends. One who is OCSexual may or may not specify further. For example, someone who is only attracted to OCs that were designed by YouTubers might call themself, "YT-OCSexual."

OCsexuality vs paraphillia
OCsexuality is often confused with a paraphillia, however, this is by definition an incorrect case. Paraphillias are known as sexual disorders and harmful desires, often leading to the distress of the person experiencing them and/or those around them.

Inreasexuality, however, does not usually cause harm, as it does not influence or promote any harmful or dangerous acts, and is simply a desire/attraction to one who does not exist outside of fictional settings or roleplay. In some cases, one who is OCsexual may feel levels of distress due to being unable to have sexual feelings for people in reality, however this does not mean that everyone who is OCsexual feels this way, nor does it mean OCsexuality is bad.

OCsexuality does not include attraction to harmful fictional tropes and those with harmful attractions are not the target group for OCsexual.
