Modèle de l'attirance sexuelle primaire vs secondaire

This hypothetical model of sexuality takes the position that sexual attraction and desire can each be subdivided into "primary" and "secondary" forms:

• Primary Sexual Attraction: A sexual attraction to people based on instantly available information (such as their appearance or smell) which may or may not lead to arousal or sexual desire.
• Secondary Sexual Attraction: A sexual attraction that develops over time based on a person's relationship and emotional connection with another person.
• Primary Sexual Desire: The desire to engage in sexual activity for the purposes of personal pleasure whether physical, emotional, or both.
• Secondary Sexual Desire: The desire to engage in sexual activity for the purposes other than personal pleasure, such as the happiness of the other person involved or the conception of children.

One of the strengths of this model is that it clearly distinguishes demisexuals from both sexuals and asexuals. Most sexuals in romantic relationships feel both primary and secondary sexual attraction. The term demisexual, under this model, tends to refer to people who experience only secondary sexual attraction; this attraction can result in primary sexual desire. Since asexuals experience neither primary nor secondary sexual attraction, they cannot experience primary sexual desire. However, since they can experience secondary sexual desire, this model accounts for the sexual behavior of some asexuals.

Orientation sexuelle	Attirance primaire?	Attirance secondaire?	Désir primaire?	Désir secondaire?
Sexuel	Oui	Oui	Oui	Oui
Demisexuel	Non	Oui	Oui	Oui
Asexuel	Non	Non	Non	Oui

History of the model

Ce modèle a été placé sur AVENwiki par les rédacteurs du wiki après un post par l'aveniste Rabger, sous le nom de ~Furie Interdite ~, qui portait sur les problèmes perçus avec la définition de l'asexualité AVEN. Il a été nommé le modèle de Rabger à partir de 2006 jusqu'en 2011 et est restée largement inchangée pendant ce temps. Cependant, le modèle décrit dans le AVENwiki était très différent de la proposition initiale de Rabger, et a été rebaptisé pour refléter cet état de fait après la représentation erronée de Rabger sur leur point de vue.

Une discussion plus détaillée du post original de Rabger se trouve ici : here.

This model was placed on AVENwiki by the wiki editors after a post by the AVENite Rabger, under the username ~Forbidden Fury~, which addressed perceived problems with AVEN's definition of asexuality. It was named Rabger’s model from 2006 until 2011 and remained largely unchanged during this time. However, the model described on the AVENwiki was very different from Rabger's original proposal, and was renamed to reflect this fact after Rabger expressed concerns about the misrepresentation of their views.
