Pomosexuality

Pomosexual breaks down into "post modern sexual". It was a term coined in October 1997 by the book "PoMoSexuals: Challenging Assumptions About Gender and Sexuality" by Carol Queen, Lawrence Schimel, and Kate Bornstein. The book has not aged well in regards to terminology used in the book, but it is an excellent edition to "queer theory" in general. The term "pomosexual" is only recently (within the past five years or so) started to become popular in LGBTQIA circles.

Pomosexual has been used in a variety of ways over the years:

• "Screw labels" for lack of a better phrase
• Some people see pomosexual as the "in between" label between all sexual orientation labels (regardless of said orientation labels)
• "The queer's queer" according to the Pomosexual book by Queen, and Schiemel (since Bornstein only wrote the preface of the book)
• It has been used to say "I don't feel there is currently a term to accurately capture the scope of my sexual identity, but I feel there will be one in the future when I feel we have a more complex understanding of human sexuality"
• A person may choose to identify as "pomosexual" because they feel terms like "heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual" may cater towards cisgender individuals and not transgender or intersex individuals

The book, itself is mostly made up of different stories from real people that explore their complex sexual identities (one story involved a man who liked to pose as a woman dominatrix online to humiliate clients who were men, but the person vehemently denied wanting to do any sexual activities with men in the real world).

Unfortunately pomosexuality is a term that the internet often tries to oversimplify, which is one of the worst mistakes one can make when exploring and analyzing human sexuality. It is so much more than just "I am rejecting conventional labels". One metaphor that is great for explaining pomosexuality is: "Imagine a giant box labeled "LGBT". Now, in that box is a bunch of smaller boxes. Each of those smaller boxes is labeled with their own sexual orientation labels ("bisexual", "asexual", "pansexual", "polysexual", etc.). No matter how tightly you pack those boxes together, there is still some space between the boxes, even if it's a miniscule amount. That is pomosexuality."
