Acarnal

Acarnal is a term under the ARCsexual umbrella. It is another word for sex-indifferent or sex neutral, meaning someone who has no strong feelings about sex, either positive or negative. The term sex-indifferent is commonly associated with the asexual community. The term acarnal can be used by asexuals and by sex-indifferent allosexuals.

History
Acarnal has been used since December 14, 2014 alongside other ARCsexual identities. It is currently unknown when acarnal was coined and the coiner is also unknown.

Flag
The flag was designed by Mod Fy on Tumblr account beyond-mogai-pride-flags on January 15, 2018. The flag was originally made to be used for sex-indifferent, but since acarnal and sex-neutral share a definition, it's also used here. The flag's color meanings are currently unknown, but it can be assumed that the purple on the flag represents lack of sexual attraction; a common theme in ace-spec flags.

An alternate acarnal flag was made by ElderflowerJuice on September 3rd, 2021. It is represented by a symbol of Hephaestus.
