The booklosexual and blookloromantic flags were coined by FANDOM user Transgender Cat on December 28th, 2020. It was made to look like the spine of a book, with the middle green stripes representing sexual attraction. The blue represents romantic attraction.
== Booklosexuality vs paraphillia ==
Booklosexuality is often confused with a paraphillia, however, this is by definition an incorrect case. [https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/mental-health-disorders/sexuality-and-sexual-disorders/overview-of-paraphilias-and-paraphilic-disorders Paraphillias] are known as sexual disorders and harmful desires, often leading to the distress of the person experiencing them and/or those around them.
Booklosexuality, however, does not usually cause harm, as it does not influence or promote any harmful or dangerous acts, and is simply a desire/attraction to one who does not exist outside of novels. In ''some'' cases, one who is booklosexual may feel levels of distress due to being unable to have sexual feelings for people in reality, however this does not mean that everyone who is booklosexual feels this way, nor does it mean booklosexuality is bad.
Booklosexuality does ''not'' include attraction to harmful fictional tropes and those with harmful attractions are not the target group for booklosexuals.
