Maybe someone who’s smarter than me can explain how this is different from the baseline sexual experience of most people:

Axiosexuals are averse to and/or disinterested in sex with individuals they are not attracted to, but may engage if sexual and/or other attraction is present.

Many axiosexuals are on the asexual spectrum (often also identifying as grayasexual or demisexual) but some allosexuals may also identify as axiosexual if they experience disinterest towards sexual activities with individuals they are not specifically attracted to.

Don’t most people want to have sex with people they’re attracted to and don’t want to have sex with people they’re unattracted to?

@atomicpoet I think it's a matter of technical definitions of the terms. Notice that they put axiosexual on the asexual spectrum despite them being interested in sex, which implies that asexual has a specific definition other than the common one.

I get the feeling that I'm staring at a rabbit hole debating whether to jump in and see how far it goes.
