Laimo (orientation)
| Orientation: | Any |
|---|---|
| Prefix: | Laimo- |
Laimo- is an orientation prefix where one is unsure if they are on the a-spec because they are unsure what attraction is. It can be considered either a subset of quoi- or on its own.
Examples of Laimo- experiences include
- Not being able to distinguish between one attraction and other forms of attraction.
- Being unsure what attraction “feels like" or how it applies to oneself
- Being able to use external sources to determine what attraction objectively feels like, but not having any internal ways to know when one is feeling attraction
- Someone who generally doesn't understand what the concept of attraction of any kind means to them, and so can't tell whether they feel attraction
- Someone who has difficulty distinguishing between the type of attraction to relationships, and different kinds of acts (such as kissing, holding hands, etc.), so can't tell if they experience attraction or if they only experience something else like a desire for relationships or stereotypes
- Anyone who doesn't understand what attraction is and/or feels like and feels like because of that, they don't know whether they feel attraction and can't determine any specifications to their attraction
