'''Black Stripe Asexual''' is an umbrella term for people on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] who experience a complete lack of sexual attraction. This is a subset of [[Asexual|asexuality]], which is the general lack of sexual attraction. The term was inspired by the black stripe on the asexual flag, which represents asexuality; Black Stripe Asexuals identify with the black of the flag as the point of 'absolute zero' in terms of sexual attraction. |

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 ([[sex-repulsed]], [[sex-averse]], [[Sex-indifferent|sex-neutral]] or [[sex-favorable]]), those who have experienced past sexual attraction (praetersexual), and those who have sexual fluidity (such as [[Aceflux|ace-flux]] and [[Acespike|ace-spike]]).<ref>https://black-stripe-asexual.fandom.com/wiki/A_Crucial_Item</ref><ref>https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/216614-black-stripe-asexuals-hangout-thread/?tab=comments |

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. |
