Woman Discovers She is Abrosexual After 30 Years of Self-Discovery

Emma Flint recently shared her story of coming out as “abrosexual,” a term many people may not be familiar with. After 30 years of questioning her identity, she finally found a label that felt right for her.

Abrosexuality refers to someone whose sexual or romantic attraction can change over time. For example, a person might feel attracted to one gender one week and feel no attraction at all the next. This fluidity is a key part of being abrosexual. The term comes from the Greek word “abro,” which means “delicate” or “graceful,” reflecting the ever-changing nature of this identity.

Emma explained that she only learned about abrosexuality two years ago, when she was 30. Before that, she had struggled to understand her feelings because they seemed to shift so often. At times, she thought she might be a lesbian, and other times, she felt bisexual. But nothing felt completely accurate until she discovered the term “abrosexual.”

“Learning about abrosexuality was a huge relief for me,” Emma wrote in a personal essay. “It finally made sense of why my feelings kept changing. I realized my sexuality is fluid, and that’s okay.”

However, not everyone reacted positively when Emma shared her identity. Some friends and family were supportive but confused, while others made dismissive comments. One friend texted her, “When did you decide this? Is this even a real thing? I support you, but I’ve never heard of it.”

Emma also faced hurtful remarks, like being told she was “just confused” or that she should “just say you’re bisexual and be done with it.” But she remains firm in her identity. “I refuse to let someone else’s limited understanding define me,” she said. “We’re all learning about ourselves every day, and that’s part of growing as a person.”

Despite the challenges, Emma is proud of who she is. She hopes that one day, abrosexuality will be more widely understood and accepted. “I want it to be seen as normal, just another way someone might identify, not something people think is just a trend,” she shared.

Now, Emma feels confident and comfortable with who she is. “I’m no longer worried or unsure about my sexuality because it finally makes sense to me,” she said. “At the end of the day, that’s what truly matters.”

Emma’s story is a reminder that understanding ourselves can take time, and it’s important to respect everyone’s journey, even if it’s different from our own.
