More people are coming out as Almondsexual – here’s what it means

It can be difficult to keep up with trends in the ever-changing world we live in today. Just when you think you’ve got a grip on things, something else comes along to reinforce that feeling that you’re getting old before your time.

This can ring especially true as it relates to sexual identity and orientation, with new terms being developed regularly as people look for ways to accurately describe their experiences of attraction.

We’ve already written about individuals who are ‘Abrosexual‘ and ‘Graysexual‘ in the past, but we’ve never touched upon ‘Almondsexuality’. Sound weird? Well, it’s apparently a new microlabel used to help people better define what they’re attracted to.

According to Wikipedia, almondsexuality refers to experiencing primary attraction to male-aligned and androgynous-aligned genders, with occasional or minor attraction to female-aligned genders.

The orientation comes under the broader multisexual umbrella, which also includes potentially more familiar identities such as bisexuality and pansexuality.

So, what makes almondsexuality stand out among the more widely-known orientations? As Fandom explains, it has to do with the pattern and intensity of attraction.

Almondsexual individuals reportedly experience a distinct preference structure: consistent attraction to masculine and neutral presentations, with less frequent or less intense attraction to feminine presentations.

Some individuals might choose to identify as bisexual or pansexual, others find that almondsexual better captures experience of attraction.

If you’ve never heard the term almondsexual then the chances are you’re not the only one. The term has only been in the general sphere since 2023, when it was coined by a Tumblr user known as genderstarbucks.

Berrisexual, meanwhile, is the inverse, used to define a primary attraction to feminine and androgynous genders.

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...

Why bathing too much can harm your skin and health

After a long day, there’s something incredibly soothing about stepping into a warm shower, letting the water wash away your fatigue. But what if your beloved soaks are causing more harm than good? According to growing research and expert opinion, bathing too often could actually “be bad for your health,” messing with your immune system, and even putting stress on your body’s natural ability to regulate temperature. It turns out, that squeaky-clean feeling may come at a cost. Natural oils The human skin isn’t just a passive layer of tissue – it’s your body’s largest organ and one of its smartest. It produces natural oils to keep itself moisturized and forms a barrier of good bacteria to fend off harmful invaders. But when you shower too frequently, especially with hot water and harsh soaps, you strip away these essential oils. The result isn’t just dryness – it’s often a cycle of itching, redness, flaking, and irritation. “Normal skin has a protective layer of oil and a balance of...

Kid Rock mocked as fans all make same complaint during All-American halftime show

The Seattle Seahawks may have handled business on the field, beating the New England Patriots 29–13 at Levi’s Stadium, but off the field, a very different showdown was unfolding. Led by Kid Rock This Super Bowl Sunday, America didn’t get one halftime show, it got two. While the NFL’s official halftime spotlight went to global sensation Bad Bunny, millions of viewers switched over to Turning Point USA’s rival “All-American Halftime Show”. Kid Rock, 55, closed out the conservative-backed livestream after performances from Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. The event was billed as a cultural alternative to the NFL’s mainstage spectacle. But within seconds of taking the stage, viewers began pointing out the same issue. Many accused the rocker of lip-syncing. “Nice lip syncing,” one viewer wrote. “Did Kid Rock just badly lip sync through his song? Or was my stream messed up?” another asked. “So was that a bad lip sync job by Kid Rock? Or was my stream messed up? Thank you...
