Malasexual is a term where one's orientation is influenced by one's maladaptive daydreaming or another similar condition. For example a malasexual individual might feel pansexual normally but may feel asexual when maladaptive daydreaming. Malasexual can be an orientation on its own or it can be combined with other terms. For example, a malabisexual individual is someone who is only bisexual when daydream or in their daydreams.
The prefix “mal” means “bad”
Maladaptive is not providing adequate or appropriate adjustment to the environment or situation.
maladaptive daydreaming describes a condition where a person regularly experiences daydreams that are intense and highly distracting — so distracting, in fact, that the person may stop engaging with the task or people in front of them.
