Libidoist is a term referring to individuals with an active sex drive (libido), regardless of sexual orientation.[1]
Libidoist individuals may experience an inherent drive to engage in sexual activity or interaction, including masturbation or sexual relationships. They may or may not choose to engage in these activities.
It is the opposite of non-libidoist. The term is often used by asexual individuals. A large percentage of asexuals are non-libidoists, though some asexuals are libidoists, as they still have a sex drive, though they do not feel sexual attraction. Most (but not all) allosexual individuals are libidoists.
The presence of a sex drive is not synonymous with allosexuality, and asexual individuals may also experience sex drives. The term libidoist is often used by such individuals on the asexual spectrum to describe this experience. These individuals experience a sex drive, though they do not experience sexual attraction (or only experience it rarely or weakly).
Individuals who do not experience a sex drive may use the term non-libidoist.
