▲'''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 [[averse|sex-repulsed]] to and/or disinterested in sex with individuals they are not attracted to romantically or sexually, 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 [[omniasexual]] and [[apothisexual]], wherein individuals are always disinterested in sexual activities and do not ever experience sexual attraction.▼

Debates have arisen as to whether axiosexuality is equivalent to grayasexuality or demisexuality. While overlap of axiosexuality with demisexuality is possible or common, the axiosexual identity does not involve a necessary requirement that a "bond" or "connection" exists in order for an attraction to manifest. Axiosexuality furthermore specifically includes aversion under certain circumstances as part of the identity itself, which furthermore distinguishes it from asexuality, grayasexuality or demisexuality.

▲From Greek "axiotheato", meaning attraction, and Greek "axio", meaning worthwhile/suitable.
