I am quoisexual so the concept of sexual attraction confuses me to all hell when I try to apply it to myself, but sometimes you've gotta say "to hell with it," and have fun creating a term for what might be attraction?? Might not be?? Listen it's a mess.

So anyway, without further ado:

Quilccion/quilccion attraction!

This a term for quoisexuals and quoiromantics, for feelings that might be romantic/sexual attraction, but that can't be determined as attraction. It's a term for the blurred or confusing attraction-like feelings you have, that might not be attraction at all, let alone romantic or sexual attraction.

Essentially, it's: "I have a strange feeling that might be romantic/sexual attraction, but since I'm quoi I can't tell what these feelings are nor be completely sure what label they'd fit."

Some examples of when someone might call their unsure feelings quilccion attraction are:

+ a quoisexual is sex positive and finds their sexual fantasies revolve mostly around one gender

+ a quoiromantic is romance positive and finds their romantic fantasies don't have any specific gender they tend to focus on

+ a quoisexual feels like their libido might be connected with attraction

+ a quoiromantic wants to cuddle or kiss someone, but isn't sure whether their want is connected with attraction

You can leave quilccion as a term on its own, or combine it with other terms to be more specific in your feelings! So you could be homoquilccion, panquilccion, abroquilccion, etc!

The word quilccion comes from the etymology of "attraction" and "what," similar to how the quoi- in quoisexual and quoiromantic is "what" in French. Like how "quoisexual" is literally "what sexual," quilccion is "what attraction." Which is fitting for attraction that 1. Isn't clear on what it is, and 2. Might not even be attraction and instead just be something else that seems like attraction.

The flag is based off the queerplatonic flag, as they're both terms used to mean attraction that sort of goes with one thing, but is also different in its own way. (How queerplatonic could almost be called platonic; how quilccion attraction could almost be called romantic/sexual attraction.)

The flag colors are all taken from the quoisexual and quoiromantic flags, and mean:

- Green: attraction like feelings that might be romantic attraction

- Blue: attraction like feelings that might be sexual attraction

- White, gray, and black: the aspec, as well as the spectrum of experience of what quilccion attraction could be/feels like

If you're not quoi, you can still use this term, just like how you can use the queerplatonic term even if you're not aro or aspec. But it's a term meant primarily for those confusing feelings that quoi people might have!

I hope this helps other quoi people! I know it helps me!

The coining of the term quilccion has been such a relief to me as someone who’s been struggling to accept their quoisexuality. It’s easy for me to acknowledge sexual attraction doesn’t make sense, but then I’m left with a frustrating confusion around how to label feelings/reactions/etc. that could be related to sexual attraction but could just as likely be something else.

Alterous attraction was around way before I realized I was quoiro, and I think the term helped a lot with my acceptance of that (though, of course, it isn’t quoi specific). And now with quilccion, I’ve got a way to describe my feelings regarding my (a)sexual orientation beyond ¯\_(^-^;;)_/¯. It’s quite nice.

Anyway, thanks a bunch @aroflux-and-anxious!

Fuck it, quilccion icons.

[id: four different icons featuring the quilccion flag, which is a pride flag with stripes in green, blue, white, gray, and black. The Pokemon on these flags, in order, are: Raichu, Mawile, Plusle, Minun. / End id]

[aroallo-culture-is]

aroallo culture is questioning whether youre aroallo or alloace because you cant tell the difference between sexual and romantic attraction. like, you know youre experiencing SOME kind of attraction, you dont really know what that attraction is though.

[bag-of-queer-musketeers]

Psst. Hey. Hey, you. It's alright if you define your sexuality beyond just your romantic and sexual orientations. It's not "cringry" of you for existing and seeking our labels that work for you. If your platonic, queerplatonic, waveric/fluietic, quilccion, alterous, sensual, etc attraction is important to you enough for you to label it, that's okay. I'm proud of you for being yourself!

just bi

alternate names: bi-attracted, bi-oriented

coined by: me! lmk if there’s already something like this out there

what is it: just bi is an identity that rejects or avoids the additive of specific attraction (instead of bi-alterous, bi-platonic, bi-sexual, etc.)

uses: if someone is bi-oriented in all their attraction, if someone is bi-oriented aspec or bi-oriented in most/many of the attractions they experience, if someone is questioning what attraction they experience but know they are bi-attracted, etc.

flag color meaning: the bright pink, purple, and blue represent m-spec attraction (attraction to 2+ genders) and can also represent those who experience biromantic and/or bisexual attraction. the gray represents those on the ace and/or aro spectrums, as well as those who may be aplatonic-spec, a-alterous-spec, etc.: it represents a lack of a certain attraction. the yellow represents platonic and alterous attraction, the blue represents quilccion attraction, and the pink represents sensual and aesthetic attraction.

alternate version of the flag:

[aroworlds]

[image description: six different cartoon-style bunting graphics, featuring six pride flags hanging from a brown rope. The flags are rectangular, finishing in a chevron shape, and have rows of brown stitching across the top of the flag and along the bottom of the chevron. First image in each set shows the flags with the topmost stripes facing the left; second image shows the three right-hand flags flipped, so all topmost edges face away from the centre of the bunting. First set of flags shows a lilac/light lilac/white/light mint/mint aro-ace flag, second set shows a blue/light blue/white/pink/maroon nebula aro-ace spec flag, flag, and third set shows the lime/cyan/white/light grey/black quilccion flag.]

Quilccion attraction is basically "according to this vocabulary sheet I should be able to classify my feelings but to my extreme frustration they continue to only fit half of any given definition at any given time."

[aromantic-spinda]

can you add Quilccion Attraction to the LGBTQ Wiki if you haven’t already? if not i can (with your permission), i just think that’s really amazing and people need to know about it :)

- confused anon

You may do so! I do not/cannot edit that Wiki as I do not have a wiki account. However, I would like to request you wait until tomorrow to do so, for personal reasons I cannot put into words at this time.

[aromantic-spinda]

If I were to make a post about/that included quilccion attraction would you wanna be tagged in it? Since you coined it and all. I’m always anxious about tagging users that’s why I ask. 😅

Sure! You can absolutely tag me if you want to. Feel free to tag me in absolutely anything! I'm desperate. I crave attention. Rest assured I'm just as anxious as you are twenty four/seven.

[double-a-plus]

Saw your tags and wanted to mention the op/coiner of quilccion has an edited version of the post that includes the pronunciation. The part they added is: " "Quilccion" is pronounced like the word quill, but with "sea on" added right onto the end. Quill-sea-on. Or if it's broken down even further, kw-ill-see-ohn. "

Thank you so much! I’ll reblog the edited version and delete the other one.

"Quilccion" is pronounced like the word quill, but with "sea on" added right onto the end. Quill-sea-on. Or if it's broken down even further, kw-ill-see-ohn.

- White, gray, and black: the aspec, as well as the spectrum of experience of what quilccion attraction could be/feels like

If you're not quoi, you can still use this term, just like how you can use the queerplatonic term even if you're not aro or ace. But it's a term meant primarily for those confusing feelings that quoi people might have!

I hope this helps other quoi people! I know it helps me!
