Rheasexual

Rheasexuality is an identity on the asexual spectrum, close to demisexual. Those who are rheasexual are uncomfortable and/or disgusted by sex, while still experiencing sexual attraction. This label does not apply to allosexual individuals or those who are completely asexual. While sometimes compared to lithosexual, those who are rheasexual can, and often do want sexual attraction to be reciprocated. The idea of sex is repelling until they experience that attraction, and can still be opposed to the idea of experiencing sexual activities outside of that attraction.
