Aroace spectrum
"The aroace spectrum, aroace-spec, ay-spec, or aroace umbrella is a group of orientations that all fall under both the asexual spectum and the aromantic spectrum, falling under the umbrella term of aroace. Individuals on the aroace spectrum may lack sexual attraction and romantic attraction, or feel it so little that they relate more to the aroace experience than to the allosexual and alloromantic experience. The common link between individuals on the aroace spectrum is that they don't feel the "standard" amount of sexual and romantic attraction, or they don't feel it in the "standard" way, that allosexual and alloromantic individuals do."
Aroaceflux "Aroaceflux is a sexuality where someone is both aceflux and aroflux. Both their sexual and romantic orientation fluctuates, but generally stays on the asexual and aromantic spectrums. These fluctuations may occur at the same time or they may be independent. An aroaceflux individual may feel very strongly asexual and/or aromantic one day and less asexual and/or aromantic some time later; They also might feel as if they are on the greysexual and/or greyromantic spectrums at times. Some aroaceflux individuals may feel like they are allosexual and/or alloromantic at times. The fluctuation in romantic and sexual orientation may or may not happen at the same time and may or may not correlate to each other."
Autospec "when one who is attracted to themself, or other versions of themself, views their attraction as a specific orientation (mlm, wlw, nblnb, nblw, nblm, etc.). can be used by autospec individuals, beings who also use the term amasui, or just anyone who is attracted to oneself in some way! can be sexual, romantic, platonic, queerplatonic - so on and so forth!"
Aroacespike "Aroacespike is an orientation that is both arospike and acespike.

These spikes in sexual and romantic attraction can occur at the same time or they can be independent from each other."

Adding realistic elements to the fantasy makes the idea of sex less appealing or even repulsive.

Oftentimes, their romantic fantasies are viewed from a dissociative third-person perspective, and not from the first person. They usually involve other individuals, such as fictional characters or celebrities with the aegoromantic individual only being a disembodied observer. The first stripe is mostly dark gray with a little dark salmon on both sides. Some common aegoromantic experiences include: Enjoying romantic content, but lacking the same enthusiasm for a romantic relationship in real life.
