Erosflux

Erosflux or erosfluid is a sexual modifier used to describe someone who fluctuates and/or is fluid between being asexual/acespec, allosexual, and hypersexual. This term is similar to aceflux, acespike, and ace-jump, though more specific as it explicitly includes hypersexuality.

Erosflux individuals may fluctuate in what genders they are attracted to, and identify as abrosexual in addition to being erosflux, though this is not a requirement. Individuals do not have to fluctuate to being entirely asexual; they may just fluctuate to somewhere on the ace spectrum, using a label such as Aegosexual or Demisexual.

This term can also be used as a modifier to other orientations, such as erosvincian/erosachillean, eroslesbian, erosbisexual, et cetera.

Some examples of why some may find this term useful include, but are not limited to...


 * Those who have trauma that effects the strength of their sexual attraction.
 * Those within a median system, who feel as though their combined sexual desires are best described with this label.
 * Those with disorders or disabilities that cause their sex drive to spike, plummet, or be otherwise unpredictable
 * An individual who feels that aceflux, abrosexual, or similar terms did not fit their experiences correctly as they did not explicitly include hypersexuality.

History
Erosflux was created on the LGBTA wiki. It was suggested by LGBTA Wiki user Hayden000's system member Shadow on May 26th of 2021, and was officially coined by LGBTA Wiki user Cryptocrew's system member Catra within the same week.

Flag
The first flag was created by Cryptocrew's Catra and Ally, on May 29th of 2021. The colour meanings are as follows:


 * Black represents asexuality
 * Grey represents the grey-ace spectrum
 * White represents fluidity and fluctuation
 * Orange represents allosexuality
 * Red represents hypersexuality

The symbol on the first flag was designed to resemble swirls, as a metaphor for the fluctuation and change of sexual attraction that Erosflux individuals experience. The rainbow ring is representative the genders an individual is attracted to, and the spectrum of sexuality as a whole.

An alternate horizontally-striped flag was created by LGBTA Wiki user Rhythmsancat on or before 11 June 2021.

Etymology
The term is directly based on the name of the Greek God Eros, a God of erotic love, sex, and sexual desire.
