Full origin of abrosexual →Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between abrosexual and bisexual?
A bisexual person is attracted to more than one gender consistently, as a stable orientation. An abrosexual person's orientation itself changes over time — they might feel gay for a period, then bisexual, then asexual. The difference is change over time rather than range at any one moment.
Is abrosexual the same as sexually fluid?
They overlap heavily and many people use them interchangeably. Sexually fluid is the broader, older term for shifting attraction; abrosexual is the specific label some people adopt as an identity for that experience.
How often does abrosexuality change?
There is no set pattern. Some people describe shifts over days or weeks, others over years, and the range of orientations they move between varies from person to person.
