'''Dysphorsexual''', or '''dyssexual''', is an identity in which one's [[sexuality]] is limited or affected by [[dysphoria]]. It may be defined as:
# an identity on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] where one feels sexual attraction, but doesn’t want to participate in a sexual relationship, due to [[dysphoria]] or other mental health issues. They may feel [[Sex-repulsed|repulsed]] by the idea of being in a sexual relationship. When one transitions or starting feeling happy with their body, one may feel like participating in a sexual relationship, but until then, they don’t want to participate. [[Cisgender]] individuals who have body [[Gender Dysmorphia|dysmorphia]] can also be dysphorsexual, but it is not as common.
# an identity in which a [[trans]] or [[Cisn't|non-cis]] individual feels discomfort with participating in a sexual relationship with another person who experiences dysphoria due to feeling contagious dysphoria.
A dysphorsexual individual might also feel like no one would want to be with them, so one may also feel depressed. Some individuals might not want someone to feel attraction to them because their dysphoria is so bad.
