==Etymology==
==Flag==
The aegosexual flag is nearly identical to the asexual flag, but it possesses a triangle with an inverted order of colors. The triangle represents a "reverse" of asexuality, as aegosexuals are likely to be initially perceived as sexual people. The color associations remains the same with the asexual flag, with an extra meaning added to the grey stripe; along with [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Demisexual demisexuals] and [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Greyasexual greyasexuals], it represents the in-between of arousal.
An alternate flag was designed by an unnamed "member of the aegosexual community" on or before August 4, 2020.<ref>https://aegosexualpride.tumblr.com/post/625536937576595456/a-member-of-the-aegosexual-community-helped</ref> The color meanings are as follows: Purple represents community, likely coming from the asexual community. Gray represents the entire [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Asexual_Spectrum spectrum] of asexuality. Teal represents a disconnection between the self and attraction. Black represents asexuality.
An alternate version was created on August 8, 2020 by xeno-aligned<ref>https://xeno-aligned.tumblr.com/post/625867415855808513/a-member-of-the-aegosexual-community-helped</ref> which kept the triangle symbolism but used the colors of the alternate flag.
