'''Acarnal''' is a term related to the [[ARCsexual]] umbrella which describes an individual who is [[Sex-Indifferent|sex-indifferent]]. Acarnal individuals experience no strong positive or negative feelings towards [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]]/interaction.
This term is commonly used within the [[asexual]] community but is not [[Exclusive Identities|exclusive]] to this community or [[sexuality]].
== History ==
The term was coined by Kisten Sadi through WordPress and Tumblr on December 14, 2014.<ref>{{Archive|URL=2021.07.24-190118/https://kistensadi.wordpress.com/2014/12/14/arcsexual-averse-repulsed-conflicted/}}</ref><ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.12-093513/https://arcresources.tumblr.com/post/105182992488/basic-types-of-sex-aversion-repulsion-and}}</ref> It was first suggested on December 3, 2014.<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.12-092741/https://arcresources.tumblr.com/post/104250597269/terminology-wanted}}</ref>
==Flag ==
The flag was designed by Mod Fy on Tumblr account beyond-mogai-pride-flags on January 15, 2018. The flag was originally made to be used for sex-indifferent,<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.14-045345/https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/169725763890/sex-and-romance-neutralindifferent-pride-flags}}</ref> but since acarnal and sex-neutral share a definition, it's also used here. The flag's colour meanings are currently unknown, but it can be assumed that the purple on the flag represents lack of sexual attraction; a common theme in [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] flags.<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.14-045353/https://lgbta.miraheze.org/wiki/Asexual%23Flag_and_Symbols}}</ref>
An alternate acarnal flag was made by [[User:ElderflowerJuice|ElderflowerJuice]] on September 3, 2021. It is represented by a symbol of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus#:~:text=H%E1%B8%97phaistos)%20is%20the%20Greek%20god,he%20was%20Hera's%20parthenogenous%20child. Hephaestus].
