'''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 from) [[omniasexual]] and [[apothisexual]], wherein individuals are always disinterested in sexual activities and do not ever experience sexual attraction. |
