These are simply flag redesigns[link] of a pre-existing term, which goes by inact- / initia-. We referenced the bellus- flags for these heavily. This term is considered the opposite of the bellus- term, and is defined as the following.

"Someone who experiences sexual and/or romantic attraction and desired a sexual and/or romantic relationship despite not wanting, or being repulsed by, or being averse towards sexual and/or romantic actions."

Very happy and excited to announce that I made a new picrew! This picrew will allow you to create personalized pride flags!

This picrew is free for everyone to use and edit as they so desire. You don’t have to credit me for it. My one rule is that this is not to be used for any commercial purpose whatsoever.

Here’s how it works:

The top row is for sexuality flags. The left side has flags for many different identities, and the right side is for asexual spectrum identities in particular. If you don’t identify as being on the ace spectrum, you don’t have to include a flag on the right–the flag you select on the left will cover the entire top row. This is true for all of the flags in this picrew.

The heart in the middle is for romantic orientations. The left side has lots of different flags for romantic orientations, and the right side has flags for aromantic spectrum identities. If you don’t experience split attraction, you don’t have to include this heart.

The bottom row is for gender identity flags. The left side has flags for many different genders, and the right has more obscure or specific genders, as well as a few other miscellaneously queer options.

The semicircle at the top is for pronouns. This part is also optional.

I’ve tried to include many different flags, but of course there’s lots out there that I don’t know and haven’t included. If you have a flag you’d like added to the picrew, feel free to let me know!

However, do be aware that picrew has an upper limit on how many options I can include, so if I don’t have any more space then I may not be able to add it in, unfortunately :( currently there is still space for flags for all of the parts; if that changes at any point, I will edit this post to let y'all know. Also, it will take be a little while to get a new flag added in, so please do be patient.

-fun patterns! The patterns I have planned so far are bubbles, triangles, stars, paw prints, honeycomb, and bowling alley carpet. If any of you are particularly interested in seeing one of these patterns, feel free to let me know–I’ll move it to the top of the list. And I’m open to more suggestions about patterns, as well!

-of course, I’m always open to more flags and pronouns being added, too. At the moment all panels have open slots for new additions. Shoot me a message if you have a suggestion!

[image description: six different cartoon-style bunting graphics, featuring six pride flags hanging from a brown rope. The flags are rectangular, finishing in a chevron shape, and have rows of brown stitching across the top of the flag and along the bottom of the chevron. First image in each set shows the flags with the topmost stripes facing the left; second image shows the three right-hand flags flipped, so all topmost edges face away from the centre of the bunting.

The first flag on each banner is an aromantic spectrum identity and alternates with the corresponding asexual spectrum pride flag. Banners in descending order: alithromantic and alithsexual, demiromantic and demisexual, duraromantic and durasexual, frayromantic and fraysexual, inactromantic / initiaromantic and inactsexual / initiasexual, lusiromantic and lusisexual.]

I know you added them in the tags but I feel the need to include them in text just because we get excluded from stuff WAY too often: demiromantics and frayromantics exist, too.

Anyways, we definitely need to just go ahead and start explaining a-spec labels side-by-side with their opposites.

Litho/akoisexuals and akoi/lithromantics who lose their attraction if they find out it's reciprocated? Meet reciprosexuals and recipromantics who can only feel attraction if they know the person is attracted to them first.

Bellussexuals and bellusromantics who like sexual/romantic-coded things but feel no attraction and don't desire such relationships? Meet inactsexuals and inactromantics who feel attraction and desire those kinds of relationships despite being sex/romance-repulsed.

Acespikes and arospikes who are usually ace/aro but occasionally experience random spikes of allosexuality/alloromanticism? Meet ace-jumps and aro-jumps who are usually allo but occasionally experience random spikes of asexuality/aromanticism.

You know what’s weird?

How demisexual is the most well-known acespec identity, but fraysexual is practically unheard of.

A demisexual, as many reading this may already know, is someone who doesn’t experience sexual attraction until they have an emotional bond with the person. Basically, they need to get to know the person first before sexual attraction kicks in.

Fraysexual, meanwhile, is the opposite of demisexual. Someone who is fraysexual experiences sexual attraction to someone they don’t know, but once they get to know the person, the sexual attraction goes away.

It makes sense for fraysexual and demisexual to be mentioned side by side. The problem is, fraysexuality just isn’t known. So people making educational posts and articles about demisexuality don’t even realize there’s an opposite of it to mention. Meaning more people are learning about demisexuals while fraysexuals remain unknown.

It makes me wonder. How many people have come across the word “demisexual,” thought “that sounds like me but in reverse,” and moved on, not even realizing there’s a term for that? 

And how did demisexual end up as well known as it is? My guess is the term existed before fraysexual but I’m surprised fraysexual didn’t jump up in popularity once it was coined. Or maybe there’s just more demis in the world than frays. Regardless, there needs to be more fraysexual awareness. Fraysexuals deserve love, validation, and awareness too.

So here’s to everyone coming across this term for the first time, happy to have discovered that there is an “opposite to demisexual.” Fraysexuals are just as valid as demisexuals, and vice versa.

(As an additional side note: If you ever find yourself wondering, “is there a term for ___ but reversed?,” there probably is. Sometimes you just gotta dig for it.)
