'''ARCsexual''' is a general term for a individual who feels Averse, Repulsed, or Conflicted (ARC) towards sex. ARCsexual is similar to [[apothisexual]]; however, one can identify as ARCsexual without being [[asexual]]. Many individuals who experience sex repulsion are asexual, however there are some [[allosexual]] individuals who are sex repulsed.
ARC is also an umbrella term that encompasses several identities to more specifically describe one's attitude towards sex. The suffix -carnal is used in these terms to describe ARC feelings. Terms using terminology include:
* [[ARCflux|Arcflux]]: One's ARC feelings fluctuate.
* [[Acarnal]]: [[Sex-Indifferent|Sex-indifferent]].
* [[Anticarnal]]: [[Sex-Repulsed|Sex-repulsed]]. Feels a strong visceral reaction of disgust, negativity, etc. at the concept of sex.
* [[Procarnal]]: [[Sex-Favorable|Sex-favorable]].
* [[Discarnal]]: [[Sex-Averse|Sex-averse]]. Opposed to the idea of engaging in sex themselves, but are fine with sexual activity that does not involve them.
* [[Eriscarnal]]: Sex conflicted or [[Sex-Ambivalent|sex-ambivalent]]. Having mixed feelings towards sex
