Amicussexual

Amicussexual is a sexuality on the asexual spectrum. It is a subcategory of demisexuality where one only develops sexual attraction to people who they have a platonic relationship with. This is different from the standard definition of demisexuality because demisexual can apply to any sort of bond or long-term interaction. Some demisexual people may start experiencing attraction just by being in someone’s presence repeatedly for extended periods of time, such as a classmate or co-worker. Standard demisexual people may also form a sexual relationship with someone because they anticipate the attraction coming and they don’t mind non-attracted interactions. Amicussexual people can only develop attraction in a platonic/friendship situation.
