It's weird being a hopeless romantic but also romance-repulsed(flux)

Why am I watching a movie and cringing at the romance but also wishing it was me

Apothievnoflux

An apothievnoflux individual fluctuates between repulsed, neutral, favorable and anywhere inbetween about a certain concept.

Inspired off of apothiflux, and most likely falls under apothiflux most of the time, but indicates a wider range from repulsion to favorable.

Examples: 

Someone on the asexual spectrum who fluctuates between sex repulsed, sex favorable, and anywhere in between.

Someone who feels repulsed at being gendered one day but may get euphoria from being gendered another day.

Apothi- comes from the Greek word apothisan, meaning repulsed.

-Evno- comes from the Greek word evnoïkós, meaning favorable.

-flux is short for fluctuate.

This term is left intentionally vague, if it feels like it fits you at all, then you are free to use it! It'd most likely get paired with a label that feels like it needs clarifying in some way (like an asexual may want to clarify whether they're sex repulsed or favorable) but not necessarily.

Some more specific labels that fall under apothievnoflux + flags below the cut

I made this for my own aroaceflux microlabel loving self. I believe it's because of that autistic urge for exact language but I usually don’t feel comfortable using a label until I have a very specific and accurate label under it. Like I didn’t feel comfortable calling myself asexual until I found aceflux. Idk brain quirky.

Idea: You could also use Evnoflux which I'd guess would indicate fluctuating but leaning towards favoring?  Idk just a thought, feel free to take this and run with it

also sorry if theres typos the dyslexia is stabbing me today :/

Recently I've been having a sort of struggle with sex repulsion; I'll be fine most of the time discussing/seeing sex, but every once in a while I'll have a sudden intense wave of repulsion where I can't even stand hearing the word "sex" because I feel sick, much less seeing/talking about sexual things. This usually will continue for an hour or so, but then I'll be fine with all of it again. Is there a name for this? Is it some sort of common phenomenon? Thank you in advance for your time.

i have actually heard of this being a thing for someone else. at the time, we figured out the word apothiflux; combing the terms apothisexual (sex repulsed asexual) and aceflux (fluctuating feelings of non-attraction), to mean an asexual who experiences fluctuating sex repulsion. as far as i know, that’s the only word that’s been made, but you might check with arcresources
