All about being abrosexual/abroromantic - when your attraction changes frequently.

Abrosexuality is sexuality that changes over time, similar to genderfluidity.

    How does abrosexuality differ from gender fluidity? If you don’t mind me asking?

    Sorry, I’d never heard of the term before and took the opportunity to learn a bit

      Their gender identity isn’t necessarily fluid if they’re abrosexual. It’s the people they’re attracted to that changes, rather than their own identity

        Thank you very much. I always feel so ignorant when I don’t know things and with such sensitive topics, I always sorry a search engine will misinform me.

          I can’t speak for everyone obviously, but among LGBT people there are a lot of ‘microidentities’ that nobody really expects all LGBT people to know about, much less anyone who isn’t. As long as you aren’t all “UGH what is this WEIRD SHIT you have come up with NOW???” it’s perfectly fine to ask what it means.

            Everything’s weird shit on some level or another. I just aspire toward a world where everyone can comfortably be themselves.

    I am really quite torn on this one… In my language the definition of sexuality boils down to something (both intuitively felt and expressed) that changes over time with ones self awareness, current needs, state of being, moods and feelings…

    So… this just feels like a pleonasm from my perspective. Which wouldn’t be a problem at all but it kinda undermines the value of the word sexuality in itself — as something well defined or constant when clearly by definition is not at all…

    I am guessing that this word is created and meaningful for people, groups or nations where sexuality as a word is being very poorly treated or even in some ways censored / taboo?

    Can anyone explain?
