Swapattractional refers to those whose sexual orientation and romantic orientation swap. It can be considered a subset of abrosexual/abroromantic. Swapattractional individuals are varioriented, meaning their orientations are different, incongruous, or split. For example, someone who is heterosexual and homoromantic. With swapattraction, their orientations would switch, making them homosexual and heteroromantic at times.
One does not have to label their orientations to be swapattractional. One might only know the gender(s) they are attracted to and/or that their orientations swap.
