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

[edit]

The term "aceflux" was coined on an unknown date by Tumblr user ngc2068, whose blog has since been deleted. The earli that the flag can be traced back to is the 6th of July, 2015, where it was posted to DeviantArt by the user Pride-Flags.[8] The word originates from "ace-",[9] which is short for asexual and the suffix "-flux"[10] which is a suffix used for sexual orientations or genders that can change,[11] and is short for fluctuating, in reference to the flux, or change of their attraction over time.[12]

The term is also referred as ace-flux, with hyphen,[13] and translated as fluid asexuality in some languages.[14][15][16][17]
