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.

★ Flag created on July 22nd, 2024
★ First two flags are desaturated + lightened versions of the original, second three flags are my version based on the lightened colors — etymology: [Schrö]dinger + sexual / [Schrö]dinger + ro[mantic]
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.

i think i spammed ur notifs with likes a bit im sorry !!
so im unlabeled but specifically as in i do feel some level of sexual attraction towards women but i dont want to label it as either acespec or allo. sexually im a lesbian but neither an ace nor an allo one. do you know of any terms for that type of unlabeled ? or just a better way to phrase it ?
I know schrö- which means being both a- and allo-. I can't remember myself a term that means being neither without being acespec. However, I know people who use non-SAM or semi-SAM (split attraction model) in the sense of being unlabeled sexually. Take a look in the term neu aro. Also, it's important to see that lesbian is an affinitive orientation, that doesn't specify how are you attracted nor the form of attraction (sexual, romantic, etc.).
