Apothisexual is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum meaning someone who is sex repulsed. Those who are apothisexual do not seek out sexual relationships.
Apothisexual is known as a micro-label. Meaning that by saying that one is apothisexual it is implied that one is also asexual. In this case asexual is the primary sexual identity and apothisexual acts as a modifier, making a specific sub-category of asexuals.
The romantic counterpart to apothisexual is apothiromantic.
