The black and grey stripes represent the lack of attraction towards non-fictional individuals, the purple stripe represents sexual attraction and the [[asexual]] spectrum, the black circle represents a "portal" to the fictional world in question, and the pink represents attraction to fictional characters.
== Fictosexuality vs paraphillia ==
Fictosexuality is often confused with a paraphillia, however, this is by definition an incorrect case. [https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/mental-health-disorders/sexuality-and-sexual-disorders/overview-of-paraphilias-and-paraphilic-disorders Paraphillias] are known as sexual disorders and harmful desires, often leading to the distress of the person experiencing them and/or those around them.
Fictosexuality, 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 fiction. In ''some'' cases, one who is fictosexual may feel levels of distress due to being unable to have sexual feelings for people in reality, however this does not mean that everyone who is fictosexual feels this way, nor does it mean fictosexuality is bad.
Fictosexuality does ''not'' include attraction to harmful fictional tropes (such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_(term) lolitas]) and those with harmful attractions are not the target group for fictosexuals.
