Umbrella Terms - Tumblr Posts

Hey Yall-

I have been thinking about my asexual identity recently. I've never really identified with the word, or even any microlabels within it. I've always just said ace due to the complexity of my emotions. I've always just said,

"I'm ace until I'm not (but only for my bf, otherwise I'm just ace)".

I have not found a single term completely describing how I feel. I've found multiple different ones that describe bits and pieces, but never the whole story. I recently found 2 to add on to my 3rd label to completely describe how I feel, and they are the terms Cupiosexual and Reciprosexual- along with the term Demisexual that I've already sort of identified with.

Since I couldn't find a label, I've decided to make one for myself.

If anyone relates or likes the label/ flag, please let me know. I'd love to share. Also let me know if you come up with any ideas for it, like a better name or flag addition. But I made this for my own peace. Anyways, I introduce a new ace umbrella microlabel-

ROMISEXUAL

([row- mee- sexual] prefix- romi; mix of romance, reciprocate, demi)

-When one only feels sexual attraction when it is reciprocated or initiated by someone they have a deep connection with. A sexual relationship may occur as a result, but is not required.

Color meanings:

Black- Asexuality

Royal Blue- Deep connection or relations

Lavender- reciprocated affection or attraction

White- Sexuality

There's also a version with the cupiosexual symbol, indicating want for a sexual relationship with asexuality or no sexual attraction otherwise:

I am very proud of the colors and meanings and I'm so happy to have something to finally describe me. I hope this can make some others happy too!

🌕
