AI Overview
Aceflux describes a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum where a person’s attraction fluctuates, sometimes feeling strongly asexual, other times feeling allosexual (experiencing sexual attraction) or greysexual (attraction in between), but generally remaining within the asexual spectrum. The key difference from similar terms like abrosexual is that aceflux generally involves shifts in the intensity of attraction, not necessarily the gender one is attracted to. The aceflux flag features red (allosexual), purple (asexual), and an off-white gradient representing these shifts.

Key Characteristics
Fluctuating Attraction: Experiences periods of being asexual, demisexual, greysexual, or sometimes even allosexual, but the attraction stays within the asexual umbrella
.
Spectrum-Bound: Unlike abrosexuality, which involves shifts in the gender(s) attracted to, aceflux typically means the intensity of attraction changes, not the specific gender attraction.
Authentic Experience: It’s a genuine identity, not indecisiveness, and is part of the broader asexual (ace) spectrum.
