Aromantic sexuality refers to a romantic orientation characterized by experiencing little to no romantic attraction to other people. Aromantic individuals may or may not feel sexual attraction, and they can fall into one of two groups: aromantic sexual people or aromantic asexual people. Here are some key points about aromantic sexuality:
- Definition: Aromantic individuals do not experience romantic attraction toward individuals of any gender.
- Spectrum: Aromanticism represents a spectrum, and people may experience little to no romantic attraction. Some may never experience romantic attraction, while others may experience it only after forming an emotional bond with another person (demiromantic), or feel romantic attraction but do not want it returned (lithromantic or akoiromantic).
- Relationships: Aromanticism is independent of sexuality or libido, and while many aromantic people are asexual, many are also allosexual. Aromantic people who are not asexual can also identify with other sexual orientations, such as "aromantic bisexual" or "aromantic heterosexual".
Aromanticism is a complex and diverse aspect of human romantic orientation, and it is important to understand and respect the experiences and identities of aromantic individuals.
