Zepasexual — A term for people who are both asexual (or ace-spec) and allosexual, or are a mix of the two. For example, a person might identify as zepasexual if:
They are on the cusp of ace-spec and allosexual.
They experience a "grey area" of sexual attraction.
Their sex-favorability does not align with their sexual attraction in the "expected" way, such as cupiosexual, orchidsexual, etc.
Their sexual attraction fluctuates, such as abrosexual, aceflux, etc.
Their sexuality can otherwise be described as both allosexual and asexual/on the asexual spectrum.
Etymology, flag symbolism, and further info is below the cut. Fair warning: the full description of the flag symbolism is very long, though a TLDR version is also included.
Etymology — Originally, I called this synepasexual on October 23, 2025, pronounced /ˌsɪ·nɛ·pəˈsɛkʃ·u·əɫ/
This was derived from rom syn ("with; together"), ep ("in addition to; among" or "attached to") and a ("without; not"), literally meaning "with in addition to without" sexual attraction.
Coined as an alternative to Schrödisexual, for the following reasons:
Schrödinger was a pedophile, a predator, and a misogynist.
Schrödinger came up with his thought experiment as a critique, as an illustration of what he believed to be problems with other theorists’ ideas regarding quantum mechanics.
Some people might not like the comparison to Schrödinger's cat.
The label is also sometimes used for “contradictory” sexualities in general, rather than specifically asexual/ace-spec + allosexual.
I then proposed that the term be updated to zepasexual on March 6, 2026, to simplify the term and make it a bit more accessible. The etymology is roughly the same, but the prefix syn is replaced with the letter z, representing the opposite of a and referencing the term zedsexual. It can be pronounced "zeppuh" or "zeepuh" depending on personal preference; either one is correct.
Flag Symbolism (TLDR) — Each stripe has its own meaning:
Black represents asexual people. It has a subtle purple tint to indicate inclusion in the asexual spectrum.
Purple represents the asexual spectrum as a whole.
Grey represents greysexual, demisexual, and other ace-spec identities that aren’t asexual. It has a subtle purple tint to indicate inclusion in the asexual spectrum.
White represents allosexuality.
Red represents sexual attraction, activity, and/or favorability.
Flag Symbolism (Full Explanation) — The flag takes heavy inspiration from the asexual flag.
The purple stripe represents the entire asexual spectrum; purple is the asexual community color. In the asexual pride flag, the purple stripe represents the asexual community.
The black stripe represents asexual people, as it does in the asexual flag. However, in the zepasexual flag, the stripe has a subtle purple tint, signaling its inclusion under the purple stripe.
The grey stripe is similar. In the zepasexual flag, it represents greysexuality, demisexuality, and other ace-spec identities aside from asexuality, while also having a subtle purple tint, for the same reason as the black stripe. Likewise, in the asexual flag, the grey stripe represents greysexual and demisexual people.
The white stripe represents allosexuality. This once again takes inspiration from the asexual flag, in which the white stripe represents allosexual partners and allies, who were referred to as "sexuals" at the time, prior to the popularization of this terminology.
The red stripe represents sexual attraction, activity, and/or favorability. This is the only stripe that doesn’t take inspiration from the asexual flag, and instead is based on some of the cultural associations that this color has. For example, red is used as a symbol of passion, sexuality, desire, and fertility in various parts of the world.

Schro- / Schrodi- ( or Schrö- / Schrödi- ) : Someone who is A- and Allo- at the same time, or some mix of the two ( describing in terms of Schrödinger’s cat as having the possibility of being dead and alive at the same time )
Made because the original Schrosexual flag gave me some eyestrain issues ( cw for link ), and I also wanted to make a version inspired by the Schrodigender flags having cats on them. Colors taken from the Ace and this Allosex flag.

Hey there! Is there a term for someone who feels both ace and Allo (I think that's what its called)? Like, you're 100% fine with being in an ace relationship, but you are also good with a sexual one as well
Schrö/Schrödi: being both allo- and a- at the same time, or some mix of the two.
Hey, so I'm confused about my identity, and I was hoping for some input! For my gender, I feel like no gender, yet feel aligned with female. With my sexuality, I like both girls and boys and neither at the same time. I was hoping that you could introduce me to some terms that describe my feelings. Thank you. :)
I can give you some possibilities, sure! :)
So if you feel like you have no gender, then that sounds like you’re Agender or Genderless. Lunarian is the term for “female-aligned”, so you could use something like Lunarian Agender.
As for your orientation, there is Schro- or Schrodi-, which is to be a- and allo- at the same time. In your case, you could use something like BiSchrodisexual.
