Abrosexuality is a term gaining attention on social media, describing a fluid sexual orientation that can shift over time. People who identify as abrosexual may experience varying levels of attraction to different genders or even none at all, depending on the time or situation. Unlike simply changing one’s mind, abrosexuality reflects an actual change in experience, making it distinct from other sexual identities.
The term “abrosexual” first appeared online in 2013, with its flag, consisting of five colors, symbolizing the fluid nature of the orientation. Although it’s sometimes confused with asexuality, abrosexuality can involve periods of little to no attraction, but it’s more about the dynamic nature of one’s feelings towards others. For some, this can mean feeling attracted to one gender one day and a different gender the next, or no attraction at all at other times.

For those still exploring their sexuality, it’s important to remember that it’s okay not to have all the answers right away. Labels can be helpful, but they aren’t set in stone; it’s possible to change them as your understanding of yourself evolves. If you or someone you know is identifying as abrosexual, support and open communication can make all the difference.
