得益于互联网的普及,关于无性恋的术语和讨论在2001年之后逐渐增多,也有了一些明确的解释。根据认识及无性恋教育网络(AsexualVisibility and Education Network)提出的定义,无性恋是指那些不能感受到性吸引力的人,与此相关的是无爱者(aromantic),是指那些不能感受到浪漫吸引的人。并不是每个无性恋都是无爱者。
影视行业要在剧集中加入无性恋角色,首先面对的挑战就是:这个角色可能很无聊。无性恋角色很难有情感线索,这样就会减少一大部分戏剧张力和乐趣。在《暗影猎手》中,吸血鬼Raphael Santiago (David Castro饰)躲开了其中一个暗影猎手Isabelle的吻,转而去咬了她的手腕,然后深沉的告诉她,他对性没兴趣。剧中的设定是,Raphael和Isabelle的关系并不需要性吸引力来维持。
ASMR,“自发知觉经络反应”(Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response),是詹妮弗·艾伦(Jennifer Allen)在2010年创造的非临床术语,用来形容一种由听觉、视觉、触觉引起的在大脑、头皮、背部等身体部位的愉悦体验。专门发明这么一个词,据说就是为了和性快感区分开来,没想到传到中国后,被人翻译成了“颅内高丨潮”,吸引了很多冲着“高丨潮”俩字去的人。
