'''Aroflux''' is a romantic orientation on the [[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrum]]. It is defined as someone who's romantic orientation fluctuates but generally stays on the aromantic spectrum. An aroflux person may feel very strongly [[aromantic]] one day and less aromantic another day, they might feel [[demiromantic]] or [[greyromantic]] at times. Some aroflux people may feel like they are [[Allosexual|alloromantic]] at times.

Aroflux can be a romantic orientation on its own or can combined with other orientations. For example, one could be aroflux and [[Gay|homoromantic]], meaning that when one does experience romantic attraction it's only towards people of the same gender.

The sexual counterpart to aroflux is [[aceflux]].

== Flag ==

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 aroflux people can move from feeling strongly aromantic to strongly alloromantic.

An alternative flag was created on 16th February 2020 by Tumblr user the-circus.<ref>Alternative Aroflux flag created by Tumblr user the-circus: 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 orignal flag caused for some people.

== Etymology ==

Aro- is short for aromantic and -flux is a suffix used for orientations or genders that can change, and is short for fluctuating.
