PoMoSexual: The queer erotic reality beyond the boundaries of gender, separatism, and essentialist notions of sexual orientation.
This word combines pomo, shorthand for "postmodern," with the suffix -sexual. Although she didn't invent the word, pomosexual was made famous (in certain circles, anyway) by editors Carol Queen and Lawrence Schimel who used it in the title of a 1997 anthology of essays, PoMoSexuals: Challenging Assumptions About Gender and Sexuality (Cleis Press). On the back cover of the book, PoMoSexual is described, unhelpfully, as the "queer erotic reality beyond the boundaries of gender, separatism, and essentialist notions of sexual orientation."
