The term pivotsexual, also known as expecsexual or swivelsexual, refers to an orientation where someone’s sexual orientation shifts depending on the individuals they interact with. A pivotsexual person doesn’t adhere to a fixed orientation (e.g., gay, straight) but “pivots” fluidly based on the person they're around, regardless of gender.
Pivotsexuality is a form of mutosexuality, an umbrella term used to describe sexual or romantic orientations that change or fluctuate over time or in different contexts. It's considered a fluid identity, distinct from orientations that stay consistent over time. It acknowledges that attraction can be dynamic and relational, shaped by the unique traits and connection with each person.
