“Still, even after explaining this, some people insist I ‘choose a label’ so that my identity is easier for them to understand. I want people to know that just because an identity is unfamiliar, it is no less real.”
What Does Being Abrosexual Look Like?
One of the key things to know about abrosexuality is that it doesn’t follow a single pattern. It varies for each person.
To offer some clarity, Healthline shares examples of how abrosexuality might appear:
Day-to-day shifts: You might feel attracted only to men one day, and then the next day feel drawn exclusively to women.
Gradual changes: You could be attracted to people of all genders for a time, then after several weeks or months, notice your attraction focuses on just one gender.
Fluctuating attraction levels: You might experience periods with little or no sexual attraction—sometimes called asexual feelings—and then months later, find your attraction returns, possibly toward different genders.
Long-term evolution: You might identify as a straight man for years, and later recognize developing attraction toward other men, adding new dimensions to your identity.
