Suptilic

Suptilic is an orientation in which one's attraction is precise and not flexible, fluid, or fluctuating. It is a strict and singular orientation that is not in a grey-area between orientations. It can also be described as being both kymenic and diastimic. It is the opposite of amplusic. It can be used as an umbrella term for any static, precise orientation, or it can be used as a specific label. It can be combined with other orientations to make suptilisexual, suptiliromantic, suptilialterous, etc.

The suptilic flag.

History

Suptilic was coined by user twilightvelvet on April 11, 2018. It comes from a variation of the Latin word suptilis, meaning delicate, strict, fine, or exact. The flag consists of monochromatic shades, representing the separation between one's orientation and other orientations.

Strict asexual or suptiliasexual, assexual estrito in Portuguese, is used by the Brazilian asexual community before the coining, connoting asexual that is not on grey area, instead of referring to them as the "true" ones, specially because ace and asexual spectrum are still seem as loanwords. It's also alluded as the black area in the asexual flag, representing null attraction.

Diastimic and kymenic were coined, as well as the prefixed version terms with kymen- and diastim-, separating stable and static attractions from the solid ones, as opposed to -flux and -fluid terms.
