Fluctuating sexual attraction
Aceflux is a sexual orientation where their sexual attraction fluctuates; it is on the asexual spectrum .
An aceflux person may fluctuate between asexuality , greysexuality , and allosexuality .
Etymology
The term "aceflux" was coined on an unknown date by Tumblr user ngc2068 , whose blog has since been deleted. The earliest that a flag can be traced back to is 6 July 2015, where it was posted to DeviantArt by the user Pride-Flags .[ 9] The word originates from "ace-",[ 10] which is short for asexual and the suffix "-flux"[ 11] which is a suffix used for sexual orientations or genders that can change,[ 12] and is short for fluctuating, in reference to the flux, or change of their attraction over time.[ 13]
The term is also referred as ace-flux, with hyphen ,[ 14] and translated as fluid asexuality in some languages.[ 15] [ 16] [ 17] [ 18]
