Romance-repulsed (also known as romance-negative, or romance-averse) is a term that is used most commonly by aromantic individuals to indicate that they find romance or romantic activities to be disgusting, revolting, or otherwise uncomfortable. Romance-repulsion can take many different forms: For some people, they may be repulsed at the idea of being in a romantic relationship themselves, but are fine with romantic relationships that do not involve them. Other people may be repulsed by the idea of romance in general. For some people, romance-repulsion is only directed at explicitly romantic relationships; for other people, repulsion may extend to romantic acts or acts that may be interpreted as romance. What qualifies as a "romance act" can vary from person to person based upon culture, religion, and personal ideals. Some people may experience varying amounts of romance-repulsion.
Someone who is romance-repulsed may identity as apothiromantic.
