Definitions

intj

Alternative spelling of 'allo (“hello”).

adj

Allosexual and/or alloromantic; experiencing sexual and/or romantic attraction.

Asking a person to work on themself to have more sex seems natural and intuitive, but imagine asking the allo partner to be celibate.

However, being aro adds another layer of urgency. As we get older, a lot of our monogamous allo friends will find their life partner, get married, and have kids.

noun

One who is allosexual and/or alloromantic.

Allos might feel infatuated with a new acquaintance or be more attached to their best friend than to any romantic partner, yet they can deny the possibility of romantic feeling because of the lack of sexual attraction. Allos can wave their hand and say, "There are people I want to sleep with, and I don't want to sleep with you, so it's only platonic."

Then maybe asexuals wouldn't face negative responses ("You're a late bloomer" or You haven't met the right person" etc.) when they come out to allos.
