Cupiosexual

Cupiosexual is a term used to describe someone who desires a sexual relationship but doesn't experience sexual attraction.

Characteristics of a Cupiosexual

Although individual experiences differ, in general, cupiosexuals:

• Don't experience sexual attraction: This means they don't feel that initial spark or physiological response to someone that's typically associated with sexual attraction.
• Desire a sexual relationship: Despite the lack of initial attraction, cupiosexual people may still want to be in a sexual relationship for various reasons. This could be for intimacy, emotional closeness, or other factors.

It's important to note that cupiosexuality falls under the asexual umbrella. Asexuality is a spectrum, and cupiosexuality describes a specific way someone experiences (or doesn't experience) sexual attraction.
