These terms describe how aros or aces feel about romance or sexuality.

Romance/Sex repulsed

Romance repulsed aros or sex repulsed aces have a very negative relationship with romo/sex. They experience it as being disgusting, uninteresting and feel uncomfortable in such situations. Some may just find it disgusting when it includes them (sex/romo averse), some may find any romantic/sexual content disgusting.

Romace/Sex indifferent

Romace/sex indifferent people have no strong feelings about romo or sex. They just kinda don't care. They don't like it but they also don't hate it. I think y'all know what "don't care" means.

Romace/Sex ambivalent

Ambivalent people have mixed feelings about romo or sex or they are fluid between indifferent, repulsed and positive or their feelings about romo/sex change based upo the situation or they may like certain acts, but others not.

Romance/Sex positive

Positive or favorable people enjoy the entire romo/sex thing. Most people are like this and also some aros and aces. And yes, aces can have sex. And yes, aros may be in a romantic relationship (the most aros aren't though). It's not about the actual relationship status, it's about the attraction.
