Glossary of Terms (glossaries are outdated as soon as they are created, so take these definitions in context with the material presented and expect these definitions to change and expand):

Asexuality (Ace): Asexuality is a sexual orientation where a person experiences little to no sexual attraction. Asexuality is also an identity term which may include people who experience some kind of sexual attraction, but do not wish to engage in sexual activity.
Aromanticism (Aro): “Aromanticism is a romantic orientation, which describes people whose experience of romance is disconnected from normative societal expectations, commonly due to experiencing little to no romantic attraction, but also due to feeling repulsed by romance, or being uninterested in romantic relationships.” (AUREA FAQ on Aromanticism.org, 2021)
Allosexual/Alloromantic: Community term for people who are not on the Asexual or Aromantic spectrums. An individual may identify as Allosexual and Aromantic, or Asexual and Alloromantic or use other Orientation terms in one of these combinations.
Nonlibidoist: “A person who does not have a sex drive, and hence does not experience sexual urges or desires (and in particular, does not masturbate).” (https://wiki.asexuality.org/w/index.php?title=Nonlibidoism)
Hypersexual: In Ace/Aro discourse this term is generally used to refer to someone with a very high libido. For Asexual people this may manifest as frequent masturbation or sex favorability with limited to no sexual attraction. It may also be used to refer to someone who is allosexual and has a very high libido. Clinically speaking, Hypersexuality is not just a high libido, but also impulsivity plus negative impact.
Limerence: A term and framework coined by Dr Dorothy Tennov for understanding a specific involuntary cognitive-emotional state that is often, though not always, what people are describing when they speak of “Falling in Love" and "Being in Love."

Amatonormativity: “This consists in the assumptions that a central, exclusive, amorous relationship is normal for humans, in that it is a universally shared goal, and that such a relationship is normative, in that it should be aimed at in preference to other relationship types.” (Elizabeth Brake, https://elizabethbrake.com/amatonormativity/)
Singlism: “Singlism is the stigmatizing of adults who are single. It includes negative stereotyping of singles and discrimination against singles.” ~ Bella DePaulo
Allonormativity: The assumption that all people do or can experience sexual and romantic attraction.
Heteronormativity: “Refers to the assumption, belief, and expectation that people are attracted to people of the “opposite” binary gender and that this attraction is the “default” or “norm.” It is predicated on the belief in the gender binary and involves the base assumption that people are cisgender and perisex. People who are (both) heterosexual/romantic experience straight privilege, and their relationships are institutionally upheld. However, heterosexuality when combined with aromanticism is non-normative due to intersection, as is heteromanticism when combined with asexuality. Straight aros and aces therefore do not experience the same privilege – their access to
straight privilege is contingent on the denial and erasure of their aspec identity.” (TAAAP.org, 2021)
Gatekeeping: “An attempt to police what identities are ‘allowed’ in and can access LGBTQIA+ resources, such as mental health services, safe sex education/protection, space in LGBTQIA+ shelters, and many more.” (Kit Havoc - https://www.sicknotweak.com/2016/09/queer-enough-gatekeeping-lgbtqia-community/) Gatekeeping can also come from within Ace/Aro spaces where individuals attempt to tell others that their labels are not valid because of their own reasons and definitions.
Mononormativity: “The assumption that romantic and sexual relationships can only occur, or are only
normal, between two monogamous partners.” (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mononormativity)
Compulsory Sexuality: “The assumption that everyone experiences sexual attraction, and that everyone should desire sex and partake in it. Compulsory sexuality puts (usually heterosexual) relationships at the centre of the ideal human experience. It also includes the idea that romantic relationships must include sexual activity. Closely related to amatonormativity.” (http://www.oulgbtq.org/acearo-spectrum-definitions.html)
Sexusociety: Coined by Ela Przybylo and C.J. Chasin in their work “Crisis and Safety” to describe how “unlike the sexual world which is ‘out there,’ sexusocity is everywhere, it is within us, it is us.”
Testimonial Injustice: A kind of Epistemic Injustice as defined by Miranda Fricker to describe “when prejudice causes a hearer to give a deflated level of credibility to a speaker's word.” (Fricker, Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing)
Hermeneutical Injustice: A kind of Epistemic Injustice as defined by Miranda Fricker to describe “Occurs when someone's experiences are not well understood — by themselves or by others — because these experiences do not fit any concepts known to them (or known to others), due to the historic exclusion of some groups of people from activities, such as scholarship and journalism, that shape the language people use to make sense of their experiences.” (Fricker, Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing)
