Aceflux is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum. It is defined as someone whose sexual orientation fluctuates.

An aceflux individual may fluctuate between experiencing asexuality, graysexuality, and allosexuality.

Aceflux may be used as an orientation on its own, or may be paired with another orientation term that describes the experienced attraction.

Aceflux may overlap with abrosexual, however someone who is abrosexual experiences changes in what type of attraction they experience. Generally, for aceflux individuals, when they feel attraction, the gender(s) they're attracted to are always the same. It is only how they're attracted to them or how intensely they're attracted to them that changes.

Asexual individuals who rarely feel spikes of attraction may use the term acespike. Allosexual individuals who rarely jump to a lack of sexual attraction may use the term ace-jump.

The romantic counterpart to aceflux is aroflux.

Flag and Symbol

The aceflux flag consists of five stripes making a gradient between red and purple. Red represents allosexuals and purple represents asexuals. The gradient represents how aceflux individuals can move from feeling strongly asexual to strongly allosexual.

The alternative aceflux flag was created by Tumblr user toothcity in 2020,^[1] and was designed to maintain the same meanings as the original flag while also being more accessible, especially towards those who suffer from eyestrain.

The aceflux symbol was created by Wiki user WiiFyneLM on October 28, 2021, for an LGBT+ poster.

Etymology

"Ace-" is short for asexual and "-flux" is a suffix used for orientations or genders that can change, and is short for fluctuating.

-'''Aceflux''' is a sexual orientation on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]]. It is defined as someone whose sexual orientation fluctuates but generally stays on the asexual spectrum. An aceflux individual may feel very strongly [[asexual]] one day and less asexual another day. One might feel [[greyasexual]] or [[allosexual]] at times.

-Aceflux can be a sexual orientation on its own or it can be combined with other orientations. For example, one could be aceflux and [[bisexual]], meaning that when one does experience sexual attraction, it's towards two or more genders. Aceflux may overlap with [[abrosexual]]; however, the difference is that for someone who is abrosexual, the gender(s) they are attracted to may change. Generally, for aceflux individuals, when they feel attraction, the gender(s) they're attracted to are always the same. It is only how they're attracted to them or how intensely they're attracted to them that changes.
