greysexuality:

Human sexuality is extremely complex. There’s no way to say it isn’t. This is why human sexuality vocabulary is changing on a daily basis. This is why people are constantly wondering “What AM I? What group can I comfortably attach myself to?” Humans are social beings by nature and this is why we’re constantly trying to “attach” ourselves to others. We DO NOT want to feel like we’re the only one in the world going through what we’re going through. The sentence feels “odd”, but the reality is, our brains will make ourselves believe anything (”I am the only one”, “no one else is like me out there”, etc.).

Macro labels are labels that describe OVERALL sexual attraction (or lack, thereof) without getting into too-much detail (bisexual, pansexual/asexual, greysexual, gay/lesbian, your “basic” starter pack to the LGBT+ community).

However, we then get into the “micro” labels. These labels are the labels we’ve used to describe SPECIFIC kinds of sexual attraction (or lackthereof) OR labels attached to activities. In the case of sexual activities and attractions, we have terms like placiosexual (not exhibiting sexual attraction, you want to do sexual acts on others but would rather not have them done on yourself), greyomnisapphic (rarely having sexual attraction, but during the instances you do have sexual attraction, you don’t give a damn for who it’s for, but lean heavily on the wlw side of things), PanNeu (Pansexual/omnisexual but leaning on neutral), etc.

For some people, the macrolabel is enough and you know what? That’s fantastic. However, that’s not the case with everyone. For some, they need the microlabel. This is just as fine. Whatever circle you find yourself attached to, live it and love it. 

Some positivity for everyone 😀
