{{Unsourced}}[[File:Axio flag 1.png|thumb|Axiosexual flag.]]'''Axiosexual''' is a [[Sexual Orientation|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 Attraction|romantic]] or secondary or primary sexual [[attraction]]) is present. Axiosexuals are [[Sex-repulsed|averse]] to and/or disinterested in sex with individuals they are not attracted to, but may engage if sexual and/or other attraction is present. Many axiosexuals are on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] (often also identifying as [[Greysexual|grayasexual]] or [[demisexual]]) but some [[Allosexual|allosexuals]] may also identify as axiosexual if they experience disinterest towards sexual activities with individuals they are not specifically attracted to. |

The Axiosexual flag was designed by StarTigerJLN on January 20th of 2021. The black background is for disinterest in sexual engagement when unattracted, the orange stripe is for passionate attraction, and the rainbow star for solidarity with and potential for overlap with other orientations. |

Debates have arisen as to whether axiosexuality is equivalent to grayasexuality or demisexuality. While overlap of axiosexuality with demisexuality is possible or common, the axiosexual identity does not involve a necessary requirement that a "bond" or "connection" exists in order for an attraction to manifest. Axiosexuality furthermore specifically includes aversion under certain circumstances as part of the identity itself, which furthermore distinguishes it from asexuality, grayasexuality or demisexuality. |
