Allosexuality

Allosexuality is the ability to experience sexual attraction, in contrast with asexuality. Individuals express this identity as allosexual, sometimes shortened to allo; synonymous terms include zedsexual, or simply sexual.

The identity does not reflect other aspects of sexual attraction, hence allosexuals can be heterosexual, gay, bisexual, or pansexual, for example. Allosexual identity does not imply any particular experiences, or frequency, of sexual attraction or sexual encounters.
