Sex-indifferent, or sex-neutral, is a sex stance that describes an individual who has no strong feelings regarding the act or concept of sexual interaction. The term is commonly used by asexual spectrum individuals, but is not exclusive to this community or sexuality.
Sex-indifferent individuals are not repulsed by sexual interaction or concepts, but they also do not have any favorable feelings towards them. Sex-indifferent individuals may choose to engage in sexual activities for the enjoyment of a partner, reproduction, economic reasons, artistic expression, etc.
Some individuals may be indifferent toward certain sexual acts, while feeling favorable or repulsed by other sexual acts. The term sex-ambivalent may be used to describe this experience.
Sex-indifferent individuals may also identify as ARCsexual , acarnal , Iculasexual or Indiffesexual.
