Definitions and Usage
Akoisexual, also known as akoine-, litho- or lithsexual, is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum that describes one who experiences attraction, usually sexual attraction, but does not want it reciprocated. The attraction may even fade after it is reciprocated.

History
Akoisexual (then "lithosexual") was coined on the AVEN forums sometime in or before 2014. The term lithosexual comes from Greek "litho", meaning "stone" or "rock". This word later fell out of use and was replaced by akoisexual, after it was pointed out that lithosexual may have ties to the lesbian community ("stone butch lesbian" being a popular term for a lesbian who enjoys performing sexual acts, but not receiving them).

Related Terms
Akoisexual can be combined with other sexualities (i.e: a heterosexual akoisexual being someone who's attracted to the opposite gender but does not desire for that attraction to be reciprocated) and/or romantic orientations (i.e: a panromantic akoisexual being someone who's attracted to all genders but does not desire for that attraction to be reciprocated). Akoisexual can be considered the opposite of reciprosexual.
