-== Terminology ==
-The prefix ''[[allo-]]'' comes from the Greek word ''Állos'', meaning "other", "different", or "atypical".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Definition of ALLO- |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/allo- |access-date=2023-11-27 |website=www.merriam-webster.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last=Stepanyan |first=Araksya |date=2023-07-11 |title=English Neologisms of Ancient Greek and Latin Origin in the Field of Psychology |url=https://journals.ysu.am/index.php/foreign-lang/article/download/vol27_no1_2023_pp016_033/pdf |journal=Foreign Languages in Higher Education |publisher=[[Yerevan State University]] |volume=27 |issue=1 (34) |pages=16–33 |doi=10.46991/FLHE/2023.27.1.016 |issn=1829-2453|doi-access=free }}</ref> It was attached to the suffix 'sexual' to create a term meaning "a person who experiences sexual attraction towards others". The structure parallels other sexuality terms such as homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, etc.<ref name=":2" />
-== History ==
-In a medicalized context, allosexual has been used in contrast to autosexual to describe sexual attraction towards others or sexual behavior between multiple people.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Burleson |first1=Mary H |last2=Trevathan |first2=Wenda R |last3=Gregory |first3=W.Larry |date=May 2002 |title=Sexual behavior in lesbian and heterosexual women: relations with menstrual cycle phase and partner availability |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S030645300100066X |journal=Psychoneuroendocrinology |language=en |volume=27 |issue=4 |pages=489–503 |doi=10.1016/S0306-4530(01)00066-X|pmid=11912001 |s2cid=24519130 |url-access=subscription }}</ref> The term was coined by the asexual community as a way to name and discuss the experiences of non-asexual people.<ref name=":1" /> It is used to normalize asexuality and provide a term that can be used in conjunction with ace terminology. Allosexuality makes asexuality one sexuality among others, rather than being a deviation from what is simply 'normal'.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Mollet |first1=Amanda L. |title=Encyclopedia of Queer Studies in Education |last2=Lackman |first2=Brian |pages=26–30 |chapter=Chapter 6 Allonormativity and Compulsory Sexuality |doi=10.1163/9789004506725_006 |chapter-url=https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004506725_006}}</ref>
