Quoisex, WTFsex, or Whatsex is a term that can have many different meanings. It is an umbrella term for anyone who doesn't quite understand their sex or doesn't want to define their sex. Some definitions of quoisex include:
- Being unsure what sex is, and therefore being unsure if one has experienced it or not.
- Finding the concept of sex to be personally inaccessible, non-nonsensical, or inapplicable.
- Finding the experience of sex confusing.
- Disidentifying with the concept of sex.
- An alternative to questioning to express exhaustion or frustration with searching for a better term to describe their sex.
- Questioning one's sex for such a long time that the questioning itself becomes the identity, rather than a path toward any other more stable identity.
This term comes in very useful for many types of people, especially those who are intersex, altersex, or are system members (with a system-exclusive sex,) and struggle to understand and grasp sex as a whole, do to the biological complexity it has.
Quoisex is the sex equivalent to quoigender, quoiromantic, and quoisexual.
