Fictosexuality is sexual attraction towards fictional characters.[1][2][3][4][5] Romantic attraction towards fictional characters is called fictoromantic.[4][6]
The term fictosexuality describes the desire to engage in sexual or romantic relationships with a fictional character,[1] or the experience of desire for fictional sexual material distinct from desire for flesh-and-blood people.[1][7] The asexual community has used the term to describe people who experience sexual attraction to fictional characters and not to real people.[1][4][5]
Fictosexuality has been used as a term for sexual identity since the 2010s,[1] and online communities and activist organizations now exist.[3][7] The term "human-oriented sexualism" has also been coined to describe the social norms that marginalize fictosexuality.[1][2][3]
