'''Black Stripe Asexual''' is an umbrella term for
Black Stripe Asexuality does not include those who experience fleeting, negligible or slight sexual attraction, but does include asexuals of any libido ([[libidoist]] or [[non-libidoist]]), sex-favorability, and those who have experienced sexual attraction in the distant past ([[praetersexual]]). Generally, this term would not include those who are sexually fluid ([[Abrosexual|abrosexual,]] [[Aceflux|ace-flux]] or [[Acespike|ace-spike]]), as the spirit of the term requires a complete lack of sexual attraction.
The Black Stripe Asexual umbrella term has the secondary intention to validate the asexuals who do experience a degree of sexual attraction. Although they may experience ambiguous, weak, or infrequent sexual attraction, these asexuals do not identify as [[greysexual]]. Black Stripe Asexuality specifies that there are varying levels of asexuality and each is just as asexual as the other.
The [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] equivalent of the Black Stripe Asexual is [[Green Stripe Aromantic]].

This term originated on AVEN (The Asexual Visibility and Education Network) on user fishcrow's brainstorming thread <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210723174020/https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/216375-time-for-a-new-asexual-identity-lets-brainstorm-ideas/</ref> by user AceMissBehaving <ref>https://www.asexuality.org/en/profile/142199-acemissbehaving/</ref> on July 12th 2021. After a series of site-wide polls<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210723190833/https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/216514-name-for-new-asexual-identity-poll/</ref><ref>
The black stripes are representative of asexuality, the two parallel white stripes are representative of aro-spec identities and Black Stripe Asexuals in romantic relationships, and the purple central stripe is representative of community. ▼

This was largely in response to an announcement from the AVEN Board of Directors on July 7th 2021 to change the definition of asexuality to mean "(...)someone who experiences little to no sexual attraction." <ref>https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/216180-bod-decision-to-update-the-definition-on-the-aven-homepage/</ref>
