Lingersexual refers to someone who experiences a form of sexual attraction that may be lacking/limited in some way, whether it's little or not, but wishes/desires to have it some day/do something "big" that falls in the said attraction. Due to lack/limited of sexual attraction lingersexuals might feel it as a burden and may cause some mental problems. Lingersexuals could also have a hard time participating in sexual actions especially if they aren’t in a deep connection with the person/people, or simply not ready.
Lingersexuals don’t see sexual attraction as an all out need in a relationship, but are willing to try it out due to curiosity or other things along those lines. Lingers could even set years till they are ready to experience said activities.
Lingers may not even need a partner, and would perhaps do it on their own, or more so, a friends-with-benefits or intimaship type of deal, but linger just want the day to be special in way. Yet in a way, chances a linger might not lose their 'virginity' right away, nor never actual lose it.
Lingers may be open to talking about sexual topics, others might have experienced some type of sexual trauma that didn’t completely lose interest, and others might view sexual attraction as something important/sacred and may be the reason they are limited to little or no sexual attraction at all.
Flag
Lingersexual and the flags were created on the March 31 2021, by wiki user, Musephile. Grey represents the ace-spec part of the orientation. Light blue and pink means the curiosity. The background color stands for, the time for how lingers wait for "the day" to come, and slight inspiration from the demisexual flag.
