Laimosexual is an ace-spec identity where one is unsure if they're on the asexual spectrum because they're not sure what sexual attraction is. It is a specific subset of quoisexual. Examples of laimosexual experiences include
- Not being able to distinguish between sexual attraction and other forms of attraction (romantic, sensual, etc.)
- Being unsure what sexual attraction “feels like" or how it applies to oneself
- Being able to use external sources to determine what sexual attraction objectively feels like, but not having any internal ways to know when one is feeling sexual attraction
- Someone who generally doesn't understand what the concept of attraction of any kind means to them, and so can't tell whether they feel sexual attraction
- Someone who has difficulty distinguishing between sexual attraction, libido/sex drive, sexual relationships, and different kinds of sexual acts, so can't tell if they experience sexual attraction or if they only experience something else like high libido or drive for certain sexual acts
- Anyone who doesn't understand what sexual attraction is and/or feels like and feels like because of that, they don't know whether they feel sexual attraction and can't determine any specifications to their attraction
The romantic counterpart is laimoromantic.
