Re: Sex question from your friendly asexual

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, cut it out with this, "if you don't accept this particular word, then you're just like these bigots over here" crap, especially since "allosexual" is akin to your example of "pansexual." "You're not ace? Then that means you're allosexual! Oh, that's not the word you'd use to describe yourself? Sorry, that's what you are, and that's how I'll be describing you from here on out, I don't make the rules!"

A word that means more than one thing depending on context is called a "homonym." This is a normal and common thing in language, and does not necessitate its decomposition into separate words. If I say, "boy, that bark is really loud," you know I'm not talking about the bark on the nearby maple tree. If I say, "I'm gonna pound that guy," you know I'm not talking about British currency. And in a conversation about attraction, we know what "sexual" means. The idea that we need to add a prefix onto it or there might be confusion between it and its homonym is nonsense.

DA

I mean it definitely has a time and place. for example "an allosexual 15 year old" has a different connotation and possible meaning from "a sexual 15 year old" which can easily be taken to mean "sexually active" as opposed to "not being asexual" ... and is also a really awkward phrase.

Also "allosexual friends" = groups of people who are not ace; "sexual friends" can be mistaken for FWBs. Or "I asked my allosexual partner about this" vs "I asked my sexual partner about this"...

There are times when sexual person and allosexual person can be used interchangeably without confusion and there are times when the former does cause confusion, because context does that too
