Hello! Ive just discovered abroromantic/sexual, tho I know a little bit and already I relate to what I know about it, im still about 72% confused af 😅(plus sorta currently having an identity crisis) do you think you could explain to me what it means to be abro? (Btw I love ur vlog acc its very slay) - cherry
I'm late on this but it's at this point on brand for me to...anyways! basically abrosexuality/abroromanticism is romantic and/or sexual attraction fluctuating over time, but it kinda always fluctuates? It's different than identifying with a label and then discovering another label, because in that case, that person was always label 2, they just didn't realize it earlier on. (Sorry for this may-be-unnecessary random tangent.) Also, for me, romantic and sexual orientation fluctuate separately, sometimes they match, sometimes they don't, you know how it is. Also, attraction can fluctuate like, say it changes once per year, or even once per week or sometimes even a day or so. For some it changes like a pattern, like, every month or something, for some it's erratic, like for me, sometimes it changes weekly and then is stuck the same way for an year. I've seen someone who said they always ID'd as a lesbian, related to all the common lesbian experience (like feeling like being with a man long-term would be suffocating, never caring about boys, picking random boys/men at random to be attracted to, etc.), but they ended up developing feelings for a man, and since then, they ID'd as abro. Basically IMO the abro label is for anyone who thinks or knows that their attraction changed at least once (but again, for some it changes every other day). Obviously, I am just one person though, and don't speak for every abro person ever. If I didn't explain it well enough, or you're still confused, lmk! Sorry if this is long, hope I explained everything well, this is the first time someone asked me something like this, english isn't my first language, yada yada.
