What is abrosexuality?

Healthline reports that abrosexual – a lesser-known LGBTQ+ identity – is a kind of sexual fluidity.

“Someone who’s abrosexual finds that their sexual attraction shifts often: they might identify with the term ‘gay,’ and later feel attracted to people of all genders, and then feel little to no sexual attraction at all.”

Elaborating on the identity, the health and wellness provider writes, “Terms like homosexuality, bisexuality, heterosexuality, and pansexuality refer to the genders of the people you’re attracted to. The term ‘abrosexuality’ is different because it doesn’t specify a gender – it simply refers to the fact that your sexual attraction shifts over time.”

Offering her personal experience on her ever-shifting attractions, Flint shares, “I love the person, rather than their gender so it doesn’t matter if my sexuality fluctuates while I’m with them.”

“However, even after explaining this, there’s always some people who enjoy demanding that I ‘pick a lane’ so that my identity doesn’t offend them. I want people to know that, just because you don’t know or understand an identity, doesn’t make it less authentic.”
