Demiarospike

Demiarospike is an orientation on the aromantic spectrum. It is defined as someone who usually feels no romantic attraction, but occasionally has rare, sudden, and intense spikes of romantic attraction to people they have a bond with for a short amount of time, before returning, just as suddenly, to one's normal amounts of aromanticism. It may be considered a combination of demiromantic and arospike. It is different from demiromanticspike.

Demiarospike can be a romantic orientation on its own or can combined with other orientations. For example, one could be demiacespike and omniromantic, meaning that when one does experience romantic attraction it's towards people of all genders.

The sexual counterpart to demiarospike is demiacespike. Being both demiacespike and demiarospike makes someone demiaroacespike.
