A woman has come out after realising 30 years on that she is “abrosexual”.

Emma Flint realized after 30 years of trying to figure it out, that she is “abrosexual”. When she text her friend to share the news, they replied:

“When did you decide this? Is this even a label – I’ve never heard of it. I support you, obviously, but this doesn’t sound real,”.

For those not sure what the term means, it refers to having different levels of sexual or romantic attraction throughout different points of your life.

As posted on Web MD, a person who is abrosexual may change their sexual orientation over different periods of time. For example, they may be attracted to men one week and women the next. They may experience different intensities of being attracted to one sex then periods of less intensity.

Emma felt that after learning about the term, she identified with it and it fits who she is.

Flint wrote an article in the Metro that read:

“I didn’t learn about abrosexuality until two years ago, when I was 30. Up until that point, I’d struggled to identify what my sexuality was because it fluctuated so rapidly,”

“I’m not expecting everyone to know what it means – hell, I didn’t until two years ago – but you should always listen with respect,”

“I’m happy to say that the rest of my friends and family have been very supportive of my identity, and have strived to learn more.”

“…It’s still hard to hear things like ‘mate, you’re just confused’ or ‘just say you’re bisexual and be done with it’. I refuse to be boxed in by someone else’s limited knowledge,”

“We’re all learning new things about ourselves all the time – that’s what growth and development is about.”

“Eventually, I hope that abrosexuality will be seen as normal, just another identity that someone might have, and not regarded as a way to be ‘on trend’, as some of the hurtful comments I’ve received suggest,”.

“I’m no longer nervous about my sexuality because it makes sense to me, and in the end, that’s all that really matters,”.
