Cryptosexual is a sexuality in which one is puzzled by their orientation and as such, it cannot be discerned, described, or defined using our current English vocabulary or words. There is no pattern to how, when, or to whom one feels or doesn't feel attraction. Any time one attempts to think of a way to describe their orientation, they feel “lost”.
On your rant. Perhaps this will be unhelpful. Maybe "Novisexual/Novi___" label is beneficial. It's about "being too complicated to fit into one label". Maybe another label is unhelpful. I don't know. I just understand the wanting of a label when it doesn't feel so easily defined. Those feelings tormented me. So intentionally vague label is kind of nice. Sorry if not helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to offer your suggestion and understanding where I'm coming from. It means a lot to know that others have experienced similar struggles with labels. I'll definitely consider and research the Novi- label you mentioned—it seems like it could capture the complexity of how I feel. Your input is truly appreciated, and your empathy is invaluable. Thank you again!
But that's the reason I like umbrella terms, It's vague and has room for flexibility in my identity.
Cryptosexual: A sexual orientation one cannot discern, describe or define in our current English vocabulary/words because one is puzzled by it. There is no pattern to how you feel/don’t feel sexual orientation. Any time you attempt to think of a way to describe your sexual orientation, you just feel “lost”.
or
Attraction to mythological creatures (cryptids)
Colors of the flag based loosely off of the cryptogender flag. This term can be considered part of the pomosexual community. Unknown term origin (personally, I’ve looked all over google and use a variety of tricks to try to look for the origin of this term).
Is there any sexuality that is fluid, but multiple labels/sexualities can overlap or some attractions can feel there but not quite there ? Or could you coin one ?
Sorry if I'm not very clear. I don't think abrosexual is the right label, nor any m-spec sexualities except maybe pan and omni that I sort of consider ? Doesn't feel quite right either though.
hi there! i wasnt able to find anything that fits your definition exactly, so i can totally coin something for you if none of these seem quite right ! as a side note, you could say that you have a “fluid sexuality”, or flui(d)sexual, although i couldnt pin down a definition for that (ironically xD)
sanssexual: when there’s no trend line in the attraction and basically it’s a very fluid orientation. Like aceflux/aroflux, but all orientations, not just aro scale. It means no orientation. [link]
novisexual: a sexuality too hard to pin down and describe in one word [link]
kiwihoarder: a subset of genderhoarder but instead of genders, it is orientations [link] (note: i don’t personally think this would technically be a “subset of genderhoarder” bc its about orientation but its up to u if thats relevant)
apeironsexual: when one identifies as many, if not all, sexualities due to being abrosexual or otherwise having a very fluid sexuality [link] (this includes abro, but also “otherwise fluid sexualities” so i think it might fit)
flinic: a term for people on the multisexual spectrum whose preference is fluid. This can refer to people whose attraction changes. [link]
pomosexual: someone who denies or does not fit any labels for a particular kind of attraction. A pomosexual person rejects, has an aversion to, or does not fit any sexual orientations such as gay, straight, bisexual, asexual etc.; a person who does not wish his or her sexuality to be put into a conventional category [link 1] [link 2]
cryptosexual: a sexual orientation one cannot discern, describe or define in our current English vocabulary/words because one is puzzled by it. There is no pattern to how you feel/don’t feel sexual orientation. Any time you attempt to think of a way to describe your sexual orientation, you just feel “lost”. [link] (this one has an alternate definition of “attraction to mythological creatures” so it might get confused, but you could always specify which)
comsexual: experiencing sexual attraction, the opposite of asexual. An orientation label to use if you do not wish to narrow your orientation down any further than simply feeling attraction [link 1] [link 2]

Greetings poll responders! I am going to post monthly Top 5 Roundups of the most identified with, known, questioned, etc identities. This is the second edition of this roundup!

hi could you add the pomosexual and cryptosexual flags to the picrew?? thanks!
So I will add the pomo labels (sexual, romantic, gender), and might add the crypto labels (sexual, romantic (?), and gender).
The problem is there doesn't seem to be a cryptoromantic flag? I could use the cryptosexual flag for the cryptoromantic, but I'm a bit unsure about it, as there's no meanings for the flag.
I like adding the whole set, because it wouldn't feel right to have the sexual orientation but not the romantic orientation.
