'''Ceptusexual''', also known as '''fierisexual''', is an [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] [[sexual orientation]], referring to an individual who experiences little to no [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]], but can experience strong sexual desire. While one may not like the idea of sex in reality, they view their conceptual desire for a sexual relationship to be significant enough to warrant a place alongside their [[asexual]] orientation. It can be used as a specific identity, or used alongside other ace-spec identities that may entail feelings of conceptual desire, such as [[aegosexual]], [[demisexual]] or [[fictosexual]].
A ceptusexual individual will typically enjoy sex or sexual relationships in theory, but they will lack the same enthusiasm for them in practice. However, one's desire can potentially manifest in sexual attraction to another
While similar in definition to aegosexual, ceptusexual is different in the sense that there may be no specific circumstance that plays a factor in one's lack of sexual attraction, opposed to the presense of "the self" leading to diminished attraction in aegosexuality. Because of this, a ceptusexual individual is present in their fantasies or desires, but may still have no drive to act on those desires, nor experience a drive towards any individual. It also differs from fictosexual, as while their conceptual attraction could be perceived as "fictional", the subject of one's desire does not have to be.

For those who feel strongly about the type of sexual desire they experience, prefixes can be added to the beginning to specify the gender(s) one desires, for example, [[Pansexual|pan]]-ceptusexual or [[Bisexual|bi]]-ceptusexual, which can further be shortened to panceptu or biceptu.

The term ceptusexual is derived from the word "concept", or the Latin variation, "conceptus", meaning "conception", “idea” or “expression”. The term fierisexual is derived from the Latin word "fieri", meaning "upcoming", "in progress", "underway", "pending" or "to happen".
