Description
Abrosexual describes a person who is constantly fluctuating between different sexual orientations.The person who coined the term "abrosexual" was an anonymus tumblr user. The flag was created by a tumblr user named Mod Chad after another anonymous tumblr user requested it. The anonymous requester asked:
"could you guys possibly make an abrosexual pride flag?? maybe something along the lines of the typical five color flags that fades from #46D294 to white to #EE1766 "
It is unclear why this person chose these colors. It could have a particular significance or was just colors they liked. There really is no way to be sure.

Hey, do you know when this word was coined? The link doesn't work. Maybe it was deleted? But I'd really like to know when it was posted... thanks!

Hmm, I can't seem to find out when the word was coined. I know that there is a post about when the flag was created, but there doesn't seem to be much info on when exactly the term was invented, probably because it was invented by an anonymous tumblr user. Sorry about that!

Same here. I think the person chose a really nice set of colors!

I read that abrosexuality was a type of gray-asexuality that meant that levels of sexual attraction would fluctuate, but that may be wrong, or I could have misread.

Well, from what I've read, it's like the sexual orientation version of genderfluid. Abrosexuals have the potential to be be gray-asexual at times, but they can have other types of sexual orientation such as pansexual, bisexual, demisexual, etc.
But if you find sources that says otherwise, please let me know so I can correct this!

I honestly don't mean to be rude but I don't understand how a sexual orientation can fluctuate?
Wouldn't that either be bisexual, pansexual, or flexible?
I don't think a sexuality can actually change? You're either attracted to one, two, a few/all??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem at all! Thank you for being polite. I like answering questions, and sometimes I ask people things because I'm still learning as well.
I used to identify as bisexual and now identify as pansexual, so I know this. A bisexual person is attracted to two genders (usually male and female), but they're always attracted to two genders. They don't change. Pansexuals don't care about the gender of their partners, but we are always like that. I am always pansexual even though I am attracted to people who may be of any gender.
I haven't heard of "flexible" by itself. Usually the terms are heteroflexible and homoflexible. A person who is heteroflexible is primarily attracted to the same sex but have some leeway to be attracted to the opposite sex. Homoflexible is the inverse of that; it describes a person who is primarily attracted to the opposite sex but has some leeway to be attracted to the same sex.
So bisexual, pansexual, homoflexible, and heteroflexible are attracted to different genders, but they are always attracted to the same ones.
Although I actually don't know as much about abrosexuality, from its definition, I would say that abrosexual people are constantly changing as to which gender(s) they are attracted. So I would guess, for example, an abrosexual might feel straight sometimes, gay sometimes, polysexual sometimes, etc. I would guess that, for example, an abrosexual can sometimes feel completely heterosexual and not attracted to the same gender but then other times be attracted to the opposite gender. It changes all the time. That's as much as I know, and if that's not enough information, I would be happy to research it more if you wish.

I can't keep up with all these new terms, what ever happened to just straight, gay, bi, intersex, asexual and genderfluid? Correct me if I'm wrong but don't those describe everything??
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well, it doesn't really describe me as a pansexual demigirl. I think a lot of people don't fit into those categories, and it sometimes makes them feel like they're weird or have no way of describing themselves. When they find a term that fits them, they often feel very validated and like they know more of themselves. It is very difficult to keep up with, but if it gives someone a sense of identity, then I do not want to judge them.

I see your point, I guess I just take the terms I listed a bit more loosely than most.
For example, I consider myself straight, I do however find trans women very attractive ( anyone who identifies as female actually), as well as some men ( what in the gay community could be called "twinks").
I also believe that ( for example) it is possible for a straight guy to love a gay man and a lesbian to love a straight guy (romantically or otherwise.)

The great thing about it is that we can all identify however we want! If you consider yourself straight, then you're straight to me! I don't have any right to tell who you are because how could I know you more than you know yourself? I know that some people are in the closet or questioning or interpret things differently from me, but I considered these labels something that everyone can use in their own way. Labels like homosexual, transsexual, etc. were first invented by homophobic heterosexuals as a way to categorize what they saw as "perversion," but over time many LGBT people used this system as a source of pride and understanding oneself, and that's what they're for. Sexuality and gender are very fluid and cultural things; even though I identify as a pansexual demigirl, I do consider it to be a way to describe myself rather than an absolute definition. I know that no matter how many words people create, we can't describe everything because that's not how human sexuality works. But it is a very convenient and helpful to give a general idea of identity and does help people out.
I agree with you on that. The labels aren't concrete; they're just general terms. So a gay man can fall in love with a woman, and a lesbian can fall in love with a man. In addition, in social justice or queer theory, there is a difference between sexual orientation and romantic orientation. A person can be homosexual but heteroromantic. Most people "homosexual" (and even sometimes "gay" and "lesbian") to describe someone who is both physically and romantically attracted to the same sex, but technically it really just means only sexual attraction and not romantic attraction. Someone who is considered gay by the vernacular is usually both homosexual and homoromantic, but it is possible for someone to be sexually attractive to the same sex and romantically attracted to the opposite sex. I hope that's not confusing, but I think it makes sense.

I agree, and I also agree with you on the difference between romantic and sexual.
What is a demisexual again? I forget.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Demisexual is when a person is only sexually attracted to people who they form a close connection or bond with. It might sound like everyone is like that, but it is actually a bit different than what it sounds like. I think that most people who have sexual desire (and aren't demisexual) usually can pass by a good-looking stranger and feel sexually attracted to that person even though they don't know anything about them or have any kind of emotional connection to the alluring person. Demisexuals aren't like that. They don't feel sexually attracted to anyone at all unless they feel like they have a bond or connection or closeness to a certain person.
I wrote a paper about demisexuality in a particular novel. I originally wrote it in Spanish, but I translated it to English as well. Would you like me to give the link to it? If not, that's OK, too.

I think you've done a fine job explaining it, so no further explanation is needed. Thanks ^^

I'm sorry if I am not SavvyRed but I can tell you also I guess.
Straight, gay, bi, intersex, asexual and genderfluid are, I would say the "main" sexualities/oriantations. Without sounding offensive to anyone.
Things like Abrosexual and all the other ones are often specific ones made out of them, like for example there is one where you like masculine people more, or something where well, like Abrosexual says, your oriantation fluctuates. Or even where your gender feels way more feminine or something like you think it would.
You could say you are still Bi or female or something but these flags just are more specific.
Hope I got it right and I hope it helped you a bit. ^^

Ok. I was just a bit confused I guess because lots of the newer terms have exactly the same definitions as the ones I mentioned. I understand the need for specificity. I guess I just saw the possibility for confusion at so many different terms, and the possibility of there being so many that it would be hard to keep track. I hope you understand how this could cause misunderstandings for both straight allies and even inside LGBT circles, as even now there is a lot of debate over such terms, even among LGBT people themselves. Does that make sense?
IDK, I just want this stuff to be easy for everyone to understand, that way, with more people comprehending it, there would be less bigotry.

I think SavvyRed was able to tell you in the more specific way now.
But I know, it was really hard for me at the beginning to understand all these terms and everything, but when I got friends who identified as that, I basically had to understand.
Hope I still helped you a bit with my text. ^^
