== Booklosexuality vs paraphillia == |
|||
Boolosexuality is often confused with a paraphillia, however, this is by definition an incorrect case. [[Neurodivergent|Paraphillias]] are known as sexual disorders and harmful desires, often leading to the distress of the individual experiencing them and/or those around them. |
|||
Booklosexuality, however, does not usually cause harm, as it does not influence or promote any harmful or dangerous acts, and is simply a desire/attraction to one who does not exist outside of novels. In ''some'' cases, one who is booklosexual may feel levels of distress due to being unable to have sexual feelings for Individuals in reality, however this does not mean that everyone who is booklosexual feels this way, nor does it mean booklosexuality is bad. |
|||
Booklosexuality does ''not'' include attraction to harmful fictional tropes and those with harmful attractions are not the target group for booklosexuals. |

Booklosexual or novelosexual is a fictosexuality in which one has the exclusive or nearly exclusive attraction to characters in novels. This could include visual novels, but it does not have to. Individuals who are booklosexual find little to no attraction to real Individuals, which puts them under the a-spec category.
