'''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.

Axiosexual is a 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 or secondary or primary sexual attraction) is present. Axiosexuals are 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 (often also identifying as grayasexual or demisexual) but some allosexuals may also identify as axiosexual if they experience disinterest towards sexual activities with people they are not specifically attracted to.
