[[File:Duosexual.png|thumb|The duo- flag.]]
'''Duosexual''' describes a person who has two or more well-defined sexualities that they switch between (eg. [[cupiosexual]] and [[fraysexual]]). It is not synonymous with [[abrosexual]] because that orientation is very fluid, to the point of not being able to be categorized, where as with duosexual, one’s orientation may only switch between a few genders. In addition, the person experiencing this orientation should have a clear or semi-clear idea of the orientations they are switching between. This is so it can be distinguished from other, more fluid orientations like [[panflux]], [[aceflux]], and [[biflux]].
It may be used by anyone who experiences changing between specific orientations. In theory, any number of orientations may be used with duosexual, but there should not be ''so'' many/be ''so'' fluid that another term fits better.
The romantic counterpart is [[duoromantic]].
==History==
The term was coined by Mod Sto through the Tumblr blog, pride-flags-for-us on or before October 6, 2016.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://fyeahaltpride.tumblr.com/post/151470340926/duo Duosexual coining}}]</ref>

==Etymology==
The term comes from the Latin root ''du-'' meaning two, but as with the bi- label, there may be more than two orientations that one switches between.
