Similar to greysexual, it is very broad and can be both an umbrella term or an identity. In concept, it is similar to [[heteroflexible]], [[homoflexible]], [[biflexible]], [[alloflexible]], and [[Grayflexible|greyflexible]], as one primarily experiences a single orientation with some occasional alterations due to fluidity or other experiences, making it [[amplusspec]].
==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> However, the concept is also dated even earlier as a similar word "Asexual-Flexible" was used by mountland of Livejournal to explain his sexual experience. 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>
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 original aceflexible flag was designed by PennedWriters on November 25, 2021. The reversing of the asexual flag represents flexibility or fluidity in asexuality. An alternate flag was created by The Bigender Cosmonaut on the same day and takes aspects from both the asexual flag and the aceflux flag.
