▲'''Axiosexual''' is a [[Sexual Orientation|sexual orientation]] in which an individual only expresses interest in or desire to engage in sexual activity with others if some kind of attraction (usually [[Romantic Attraction|romantic]] or secondary or primary sexual [[attraction]]) is present. Axiosexuals are [[sex-repulsed|averse]] to and/or disinterested in sex with individuals they are not attracted to, but may engage if sexual and/or other attraction is present. Many axiosexuals are on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] (often also identifying as [[Greysexual|grayasexual]] or [[demisexual]]) but some [[Allosexual|allosexuals]] may also identify as axiosexual if they experience disinterest towards sexual activities with people they are not specifically attracted to.
The term is related to (but different than) [[omniasexual]] and [[apothisexual]], wherein individuals are always disinterested in sexual activities and do not ever experience sexual attraction.
== History ==
Axiosexual was coined by Jennifer L. Nielsen (wikia user StarTigerJLN), a [[Greysexual|grayace]]/[[genderfluid]] KU graduate student, on January 20th of 2021, during a discussion of sex interested vs sex averse asexuals / graysexuals in the Facebook AVEN forum.
== Etymology ==
From Greek "axiotheato", meaning attraction, and Greek "axio", meaning worthwhile/suitable.
