'''Imprisexual''' is a term for those who have such specific sexual preferences, it may feel as though it matters more than one's orientation itself. This goes for any form of preference, whether genital, aesthetic, or even personality preference. The individual may feel those preferences strongly affect their attraction more strongly than their orientation. Someone who is imprisexual can be any orientation, such as impri-[[gay]] or impri-[[straight]]. Dating someone who does not fit said preferences causes a lower range in attraction, and thus affects how their orientation feels. |

This is meant to not be exclusively [[LGBT+|LGBTQ+]], as those who are [[queern't]] may also use this label to describe themselves. An example of this would be for those who are [[cisgender]] and straight and have a preference for cisgender people, as they feel as though they can't relate to transgender people's experiences due to not having a [[transgender]] experience themselves. This is ''not'' due to transphobia, but rather because they wish to relate to one's gender experience, and find one's gender experience to be very important to their sexual or romantic life. This also does not mean they wouldn't date a transgender individual - it just means they prefer to date cisgender people, as they relate to their preference or can have a basis of understanding for their gender experiences for being cisgender. |

This could also be used for other forms of [[attraction]], such as impri[[Romantic Attraction|romantic]], impri[[Platonic Attraction|platonic]], impri[[Alterous Attraction|alterous]], etc. |

While Imprisexuality revolves around preference and not orientation, those who have said preferences should not contribute to transphobic, homophobic, racist, ableist, sexist or otherwise harmful or phobic intent- or otherwise take measures to ensure that no harm is caused. While this is a descriptor of experiential identity, however, it is not something to contribute harm to certain groups or any form of discrimination. |

The practice of phobic and problematic intent is likely to occur at many levels of affection, but imprisexuality is not created to cause harm or hurt. In simpler words, this identity is not made to be an excuse for harassment, invalidation, or discrimination, but rather is to ethically describe how one's preferences affect their sexuality. Those who are impri who commit a form of discrimination is the fault of the individual and not imprisexuality. |

Imprisexual was coined by [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/User:Transgender_Cat Clear.Skyes] on March 8, 2021 to combat super straight as a way to have a transgender friendly term for those who want a term to specify preference. The coiner would go on to state it as:<blockquote>''Why impri and not SS?''</blockquote><blockquote>''Problem with SS is that it implies its better if you aren't attracted to trans people, above that SS pluck out trans-people, and further cause a bigger divide in trans people and dating, it also specifies "natural born" which clearly is very dehumanizing to transgender people because it implies trans people aren't "natural." I have seen this thread from a support forum regarding SS and: https://forum.heartsupport.com/t/super-straight-scares-me/21001 it just shows the sheer harm it causes, many who are SS don't see the lives this is risking by continuing the mob and further damaging others. Its not showing respect, its just dehumanization disguised as a sexuality. If you guys want to show your preference, then do impri, its a flexible term to specify any preference and how it can affect overall the playing field in dating.''</blockquote> |
