Aceflux is a term originating on Tumblr to describe persons who experience fluctuations in their asexual sexual attractions.

An aceflux person may fluctuate between asexuality, greysexuality, and allosexuality.

Etymology

The term "aceflux" was coined on an unknown date by Tumblr user ngc2068, whose blog has since been deleted. The earliest that a flag can be traced back to is 6 July 2015, where it was posted to DeviantArt by the user Pride-Flags. [8] The word originates from "ace-", [9] which is short for asexual and the suffix "-flux" [10] which is a suffix used for sexual orientations or genders that can change, [11] and is short for fluctuating, in reference to the flux, or change of their attraction over time. [12]

The term is translated as fluid asexuality in Portuguese. [13] [14] [15] [16]
