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
The term was coined by Kisten Sadi through WordPress and Tumblr on December 14, 2014. It was first suggested on December 3, 2014.

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 The flag was originally made to be used for sex-indifferent, but since acarnal and sex-neutral share a definition, it's also used here.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 3, 2021. It is represented by a symbol of Hephaestus.
