Torenflexible is an orientation describing an individual who is primarily attracted to men and non-binary people but experiences flexibility in this attraction - meaning one's attraction is not exclusive.
The term "torenflexible" is derived from toren- ("tor" as in toric and "en" as in enby) which also forms the prefix for torensexual.
One who identifies as torenflexible may, for example: experience a strong preference for men and non-binary people; have an attraction that is fluid and/or fluctuating that still primarily involves attraction to men and non-binary people; or have an orientation which switches between being asexual (or pansexual, or lesbian, etc.) and torensexual.
Thus, a torenflexible person may identify as torensexual, polysexual, omnisexual, bisexual or another multisexual label, or may identify with different orientation labels at different times. However, identifying with these labels is not required as a torenflexible individual may choose or reject a certain multisexual label if one feels that the label does not represent one's typical attraction pattern due to the flexibility in one's attraction.
This identity can be used by a person of any gender.
Its counterpart is trixenflexible.
Flag
The original torenflexible flag was created by imoga-pride on Tumblr on December 25th, 2018 by reversing the torensexual flag, created by nblmgalaxy and wedontcareaboutyourbinary, and combining it with the femaric flag, created by goodpositivitylgbt and editing the colors.
An alternate torenflexible flag was created by GhostOrchidGynoid on Reddit on December 31st, 2020 by turning the original torensexual flag into a five-stripe design and combining it with the womasexual flag, which was flipped upside down to represent attraction to women that is not necessarily exclusive and also to evoke the design of the abrosexual flag. The lighter green stripe in the five-stripe design represents flexibility in non-binary attraction while the light lavender stripe represents flexibility on the ace spectrum.
A second alternate flag was created by GhostOrchidGynoid, December 31st 2020, which is the same except that it uses the colors from the alternate torensexual flag created by Clear.Skyes on December 29th 2020.
