Nekosexuality is often confused with a paraphillia, however, this is, by ''most'' definitions, an incorrect case. [https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/mental-health-disorders/sexuality-and-sexual-disorders/overview-of-paraphilias-and-paraphilic-disorders Paraphillias] are known as sexual disorders and harmful desires, often leading to the distress of the person experiencing them and/or those around them. Whether or not it is a paraphillia is up to debate, depending on ones definition for such. |
|||
Some people also confuse it for a fetish, however a fetish is typically when ones sexual arousal comes from a body part, item of clothing, or an object at an unnatural degree. Nekosexuality is simply attraction to cat-like individuals, regardless of how they look, and usually does not come in an unnatural degree of attraction. |

Nekosexuality does not usually cause harm, as it does not influence or promote any harmful or dangerous acts, and is simply a desire/attraction to one who either does not exist outside of fiction, or has a cat-related gender. In ''some'' cases, one who is ficto-nekosexual may feel levels of distress due to being unable to have sexual feelings for people in reality, however this does not mean that everyone who is ficto-nekosexual feels this way, nor does it mean ficto-nekosexuality is bad. |

Nekosexual, due to being a sexual minority that does not cause harm, as well as being [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]], would fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. |

Nekosexual is defined as the exclusive or near-exclusive attraction to nekos. A neko is a human with cat-like characteristics, most commonly fangs, cat ears, and tails; however, other cat-like traits can be present. Nekosexual individuals may also be attracted to a cat-like personality regardless of one's physical appearance.
This could potentially include catgender individuals, feline-kin individuals, and other similar genders/kintypes, but does not have to. It is usually a subcategory of fictosexual, in which one finds fictional neko-people to be attractive. The romantic counterpart is nekoromantic.
One who is nekosexual is not attracted to actual cats, and this term is not to be used by those with zoophilic intent.
History and Flag
The term nekosexual and its flag flag were created on November 27, 2020, by Fandom user BisexualDudes55. The pink represents the playful side of nekos. The white represents purity, and the purple represents the the calm side of nekos. The cat design was drawn by Fandom user Selfship.
The nekoromantic flag was created by Fandom user Selfship. The brighter pink, off white, and brighter purple represent the same things as their color counterparts on the nekosexual flag. The lighter pink represents romance, and the lighter purple represents compassion.
