The romantic counterpart is [[aroflexible]].
==History==
The term was coined by AVEN user R_1 on February 9, 2013.<ref>https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/83926-ace-flexible-label/</ref> Aceflexibility, as a concept, was also mentioned by users on AVEN who didn't like the redefining of asexuality as "little to no sexual attraction" rather than "no sexual attraction," and who thought that aceflexibility would make more sense to describe individuals whose attraction is so little and/or rare that it seems nonexistent.<ref>[https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/220180-poll-proposed-new-definition-demographics/?tab=comments#comment-1064431871 https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/220180-poll-proposed-new-definition-demographics/]</ref> This definition was also mentioned consistently from a 2016 thread by AVEN user Starbit in a thread discussing expanding terms in asexuality.
The term "flexible asexual" also refers to an asexual individual who is open to the idea of sex, and it is included as a sub-classification of asexuality on the dating site, ''Seeking'', alongside [[aromantic]] asexual and [[Sex-Repulsed|repulsed]] asexual.<ref>https://www.seeking.com/glossary/sexual-orientation/asexual</ref> The term "flexible asexual" itself was originally coined by Urban Dictionary user AromanticAsexual and was first published and seen on Urban Dictionary on April 17th, 2010.
