'''Aroflux''' is a [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]] on the [[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrum]]. It is defined as someone whose romantic orientation fluctuates
An aroflux individual may fluctuate between experiencing [[Aromantic|aromanticism]], [[Greyromantic|grayromanticism]], and [[Alloromantic|alloromanticism]].
Aroflux can be a romantic orientation on its own or it can be combined with other orientations. For example, one could be aroflux and [[biromantic]], meaning that when one does experience romantic attraction, it's towards two or more genders. Aroflux may overlap with [[Abrosexual|abroromantic]]; however, the difference is that for someone who is abroromantic, the gender(s) they are attracted to may change. Generally, for aroflux 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.▼
Aroflux may be used as an orientation on its own, or may be paired with another orientation term that describes the experienced attraction. For example, some may choose to use it alongside [[Arospike]] as a way to fully describe how their fluctuation in attraction may work.
▲
Aromantic individuals who rarely feel spikes of attraction may use the term [[arospike]]. Alloromantic individuals who rarely jump to a lack of romantic attraction may use the term [[aro-jump]].
The sexual counterpart to aroflux is [[aceflux]].
Line 17 ⟶ 22:
The aroflux flag consists of five stripes making a gradient between red and green. Red represents alloromantics and green represents aromantics. The gradient represents how those who are aroflux can move from feeling strongly aromantic to strongly alloromantic.
An alternative flag was created by Tumblr user the-circus on February 16, 2020.<ref>Alternative Aroflux flag created by Tumblr user the-circus: {{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://the-circus.tumblr.com/post/190862700045/happy-aromantic-spectrum-awareness-week-heres-a}}</ref> It features similar colours and keeps the original flag's meaning but aims to remove the eyestrain that the original flag caused for some.
Another alternative flag was created by Fandom user Starri-Niqht on January 14, 2021.[https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/User:Starri-Niqht] It uses pink to represent feeling strongly alloromantic, black to represent lack of romantic attraction, and grey to represent a middle ground between the two.

== Etymology ==
Aro- is short for aromantic and -flux is a suffix used for orientations or genders that change in intensity, and is short for fluctuating.
