Suptiliasexual comes from the Brazilian expression ''assexual estrito(a/e)'', which means "strict asexual" in Brazilian Portuguese. In Brazil, the word asexual is an umbrella term for the entire spectrum. Someone fully asexual would be ''assexual estrito(a/e)''. In English, these individuals would usually just be called "asexual;" however, the term suptiliasexual is useful for differentiating between suptiliasexuals and others on the asexual spectrum. |

Suptiliasexual, also known as suptili-ace, or suptilic asexual, is a term referring to someone who is purely asexual, not grey ace or elsewhere on the asexual spectrum. A suptiliasexual individual has never, and will never, feel sexual attraction. It is similar to omniasexual, but those who are suptiliasexual may be okay engaging in discussions about sexual acts.
Etymology
