sexually attracted to everyone around them above some personally maintained arbitrary threshold of determining attractiveness??
From what we understand allosexuals (people who are not ace-spec) are not in fact attracted to everyone :). Maybe many people, but not all the people and not always.
However, even if they were that’s not a bad thing, as long as it’s consensual and respectful :)
thank you for teaching me what I was just wondering about for the second time, after coming to the crisp realization that all I needed was the alternative category(-ies) which could be expected to then also exist other than the asexual branch of methodology/pathology (idk if I am using words correctly here either, lolol number man no use good speak much here). I was about to venture a guess that certainly slurs were not the correct categorization, and that perhaps “sexual” was the other categorization, however I expected that that was unlikely because it also sounds strange as a noun to me
allo-sexual sounds a bit like being attracted to curious french greetings to me lolol I think that this will help me remember the concept. I feel like people attracted to those with foreign accents might even fit such a category in some cases unless I am misunderstanding the concept completely still which seems very plausible to me also since I haven’t even looked up any info on the term yet

this array of possible dispositions (in the Combinations of Attitudes section of that page) towards the general ideas of inclusion/openness also seems like a somewhat useful way of considering more possible manifestations of varying attitudes towards such matters

Allonormativity is a concept I now know to look out for. Time to add it to my growing list of normativities to dismantle, avoid, address, etc.
