Duoromantic describes a person who has two or more well-defined romantic orientations that they switch between (eg. cupioromantic and frayromantic). It is not synonymous with abroromantic because that orientation is very fluid, to the point of potentially not being able to be categorized, where as with duoromantic, one’s orientation may only switch between a few genders and the individual definitively knows which orientations they're experiencing. They have a clear or semi-clear idea of the orientations they are switching between. This is so it can be distinguished from other, more fluid orientations like panflux, aroflux, and biflux. The term was created with the intent to be used for aro-spec people, but it can be used by those with entirely alloromantic identity as well.
It may be used by anyone who experiences changing between specific orientations. In theory, any number of orientations may be used with duoromantic, though it is not intended to be used for experiences of being very fluid or ever-changing, or that there are so many terms in the fluctuation that another term would fit better.
The sexual counterpart is duosexual.
