An informal, community-specific adjective meaning asexual — that is, experiencing little or no sexual attraction. Typically used within LGBTQ+ and asexuality community spaces as a lighthearted or self-referential term. The "sexy" embedded in the word is usually intended as playful irony. The term signals in-group membership and is used with a generally positive or neutral connotation. Less formal than "asexual" and more commonly found in online discussions, forums, and social media posts.

The meetup was billed as a hangout for asexy folks who were tired of explaining themselves at parties.
Origin: Blend of "asexual" and "sexy"; the playful construction highlights the irony of finding the word "sexy" in a term for non-sexual identity. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
