[[File:Sex repulsed.png|thumb|Sex-repulsed/averse flag]][[File:Sex-averse2.png|thumb|Sex-averse flag]][[File:Sex-averse.png|thumb|Sex-averse flag]]'''Sex-averse''' is a term that is used most commonly by [[asexual]] and other [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] individuals to indicate that they find the idea of personally engaging in sexual activity undesirable, uninteresting, uncomfortable, or otherwise unwanted. These feelings towards personally engaging in sex can range from dislike or discomfort to intense fear or disgust, but sex-averse people aren't repulsed by the idea of sex in general. They don't mind others engaging in sexual activity or sexual discussion. They themselves may enjoy discussing sexual topics, telling sexual jokes, or consuming sexual media. For some people, the sex-aversion only applies to the act of intercourse; for others, the aversion may extend to other sexual acts. Some people may experience varying levels of sex-aversion.
Some people use sex-aversion and [[Sex-repulsed|sex-repulsion]] interchangably, but they are distinct despite their overlap. Sex-aversion specifically refers to negative feelings regarding the idea of oneself being in a sexual situation. Aversion to the idea of sex in general
Sex-aversion can overlap with [[Sex-ambivalent|sex-ambivalence]] since one's feelings about sex changes depending on whether or not they are involved. One's feelings towards sex in contexts not involving oneself may reflect [[Sex-indifferent|indifference]] or [[Sex-favorable|favorablility]].
