A portmanteau of pomo, short for postmodernism, and sexual, used as a nounâa person who rejects/avoids or does not identify as categorizations of sexual orientations (e.g., heterosexual and homosexual, which define people by relative conceptualizations of their sexual preferences and their direction of attraction) as a form of identityâand as an adjective, referring to such a person or to the philosophy of pomosexuality .
Elisa: What's your sexual orientation, john?
John: I do not identify as any sexual orientations labels.
Elisa: But, everyone is either pan/omni , bi, straight, gay, or an asexual.
John: None of them works for me and I refuse to use a label to define my sexual preference. I am a pomosexual.
