AROFLUX Definition: Aroflux is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum. It is defined as someone whose romantic orientation fluctuates. An aroflux individual may fluctuate between experiencing aromanticism, grayromanticism, and alloromanticism. Aroflux may be used as an orientation on its own, or may be paired with another orientation term that describes the experienced attraction. For example, some may choose to use it alongside Arospike as a way to fully describe how their fluctuation in attraction may work. Aroflux may overlap with abroromantic, however someone who is abroromantic experiences changes in what orientation of romantic attraction they experience. Generally, for aroflux individuals, when they feel attraction, the gender(s) they're attracted to are always the same. It is only how they're attracted to them or how intensely they're attracted to them that changes. Aromantic individuals who rarely feel spikes of attraction may use the term arospike. Alloromantic individuals who rarely jump to a lack of romantic attraction may use the term aro-jump. Flag creator: the-circus (2020) Colour meanings: Red = alloromantics and green = aromantics.
