'''Traumasexual''' is a [[Sexual_Orientation|sexual orientation]] label for those who feel that their sexual orientation has been significantly influenced by their trauma. It was created as a broad umbrella term to include any change to one's sexual orientation that was caused by trauma. As such, this label is to be used only by individuals with trauma and/or PTSD. |
||
Traumasexuals can be of any sexual orientation, [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]], or [[Gender_Identity|gender identity]]. They can be [[Allosexual|allosexual]] or anywhere on the [[Asexual_Spectrum|asexual spectrum]]. |
|||
This label is designed to be used along with other labels, not as a singular identity. Due to this definition being so broad, other trauma-exclusive identities such as [[Caedsexual|caedsexual]], [[Abasexual|abasexual]], [[Aversefinsexual|aversefinsexual]], and [[Averseminsexual|averseminsexual]], would also fall under it's definition. |
|||

|||
* [[Caedsexual]] |
