Attraction is not always simple or consistent—sometimes it changes, and that’s called being abrosexual. Emma Flint, a writer from England, shared her story about finally identifying as abrosexual after 30 years of shifting feelings she struggled to explain.
Emma initially thought she was a lesbian, but over time her attractions changed—toward different genders or sometimes to no one. Through these shifts, she felt uncertain and often like she didn’t fit in.

Discovering the word “abrosexual” was a revelation, giving her clarity and validation. Abrosexuality means having sexual attraction that moves and flows, sometimes rapidly, sometimes more gradually, and it’s not tied to any specific gender.
Emma says that her feelings focus on the person, not gender, and she faces pressure from people who expect her to pick one identity. She encourages understanding of diverse sexual identities.
Abrosexuality can vary from quick daily changes to longer phases without sexual attraction, making it a unique experience for each person.
Emma hopes this identity becomes widely accepted as normal, spreading awareness so others don’t feel lost or “broken.”
