'''Abrosexual''' refers to an individual whose [[sexuality]] is changing or fluid. One can change between any sexualities, whether is be [[monosexual]], [[multisexual]], [[allosexual]] or [[asexual spectrum]], etc. The [[gender]](s) one is attracted to typically change, and the intensity of the [[attraction]] or the way one feels attraction may change as well. For example, someone could be [[homosexual]] one day, then be [[demisexual]] the next, then [[finsexual]] the next. For some the changes may be erratic and for others they may be regular. Some abrosexual individuals may be fluid between all or a large number of sexualities, while others may only be fluid between a few. Because of their inconsistent attraction, some abrosexual individuals may not feel compelled to seek out a relationship or may prefer a [[wavership]]. |

While it is possible—and even common—for an individual’s sexual identity to shift or change in some way throughout their life, an abrosexual individual’s orientation may change more frequently, such as over the course of hours, days, months, or years. The changes in orientation may also be more drastic, such as going from [[straight]] to [[gay]], or going from [[pansexual]] to [[asexual]]. |

Abrosexual is not the same as a changing preference. For example, an [[omnisexual]] individual could have a changing preference, however they are always capable of being attracted to any genders, regardless of their preference. On the other hand, an abrosexual individual could be omnisexual and feel attraction to all genders, however, they could later become [[minsexual]], at which point they feel no attraction to feminine people whatsoever. Regardless of the fact that they felt attraction to feminine people previously they can no longer feel attraction to feminine people in any way, shape, or form. |

Abrosexual often overlaps with [[aceflux]], however the difference is that, generally for aceflux individuals, when they feel attraction the gender(s) they're attracted to are always the same- the only thing that changes is how they're attracted to them or how intensely they're attracted to them. For abrosexual individuals, the gender(s) they are attracted to changes. |
