Allosexual is most prevalent in the asexual community Allosexual feeling, behavior, or identity can be called allosexuality, and an allosexual person is sometimes called an allosexual Note, however, that using gender and sexuality adjectives (cf Homosexual, transgender) as nouns for the people they describe is often considered disparaging and offensive
