Sex-Oscillating

Sex-oscillating is a sex stance that describes an individual whose feelings towards the act or concept of sexual interaction change or fluctuate over time. The term is commonly used asexual spectrum individuals, but is not exclusive to this community or sexuality.

Sex-oscillating individuals may find their feelings regarding sexual interaction changing frequently, potentially several times a day, or infrequently, potentially over the course of years.

Some individuals may feel one way about certain sexual acts, while feeling another way about other sexual acts. The term sex-ambivalent may be used to describe this experience.

Some individuals may be repulsed by the idea of personally engaging in sexual activity, while feeling favorable or indifferent towards sexual interaction that does not involve them or sexual interaction as a concept. The term sex-averse may be used to describe this experience.

Sex-oscillating individuals may also identify as ARCsexual, or ARCflux.
