List of aromantic spectrum identities/microlabels! ↗
Aegoromantic - being aromantic but still liking romantic things in a way that doesn't involve yourself. (movies, fanfic, etc)
Uniromantic - only experiencing romantic attraction to one person, and none for anyone else.
Cupioromantic - being aromantic but still wanting a romantic relationship.
Aroflux - fluctuating between different orientations on the arospec.
Myrromantic - being multiple labels on the arospec.
Apresromantic - only feeling romantic attraction after feeling another form of attraction. (platonic, sensual, aesthetic, etc)
Platoniromantic - not experiencing/feeling a difference between romantic and platonic attraction.
Idemromantic - differentiating platonic, romantic attraction, and relationships but feeling no significant difference between them.
Ceaseromantic - having your romantic attraction occasionally stop completely for a period of time.
Duraromantic - rarely feeling attraction, but when you do, it lasts for a long time.
Limnoromantic - only having your attraction piqued by depictions of it, but not of them in real life. (fanfic, writing, etc)
Aliquaromantic - not feeling attraction unless under specific circumstances.
Duoromantic - having two or more defined arospec orientations you switch between.
Acoromantic - being arospec because of past negative experiences.
Polarromantic - swapping between extreme attraction and none at all.
Schroromantic - being romantic and aromantic at the same time, or a mix of the two. (name coming from schrodingers cat)
Borearomantic - when your attraction seems to revolve around one person in particular.
Burstromantic - feeling attraction in sudden bursts which then fades away or leaves immediately.
Preromantic - feeling that you haven't had enough attraction to determine your orientation.
Quoiromantic - feeling your attraction doesn't exactly align with allos or anywhere on the arospec, not identifying with any labels, or feeling that you don't want to label your attraction as doing so wouldn't make sense. (multiple definitions)
Arospike - usually not experiencing attraction but sometimes having rapid and intense attraction which then plummets again.
Propeestromantic - having at least more than two labels on the arospec that feel mixed and all describe your identity.
Nebularomantic - having trouble distinguishing romantic attraction from platonic attraction due to neurodivergancy.
Recipromantic - only feeling attraction for someone after knowing they experience that attraction to you.
Requeroromantic - feeling limited or no romantic attraction due to trauma or emotional exhaustion.
Thymromantic - feeling attraction that varies depending on your emotional state.
Noviroromamtic - feeling your complicated romantic attraction cannot be contained by a single term.
Metaroromantic - experiencing attraction that cannot be defined by the strict terms of romantic and platonic.
Placioromantic - having no desire for romantic acts to be done for you, but feeling interest or desire in doing them for someone else.
Hyperaromantic - having more romantic desires than allos while still being on the arospec. (different from hyperromantic, a non arospec identity caused by trauma)
Apathromantic - someone who may or may not have romantic attraction, but feels indifferent to receiving it or acting on it.
Caedromantic - having once had romantic attraction, but feeling like it was lost or "cut away" somehow due to trauma.
Demiromantic - only experiencing romantic attraction after forming an emotional bond with someone first.
Grayromantic - rarely having romantic attraction, feeling it weakly, or having it unreliably come and go. (multiple definitions)

So I thought of a way to explain most sexualities I think. Let's say that each type of bread (bagels, challah, baguette, etc) is a gender, butter is sexual attraction, and jam is romantic attraction.
Each person eats some types of bread and doesn't like other types of bread. Some people like all types of bread but prefer some types (omni). Some people like all types of bread equally and don't care which one you give them, judging each slice individually (pan). Some people like a couple types of bread. Some people only like one type of bread. Some people are allergic to gluten.
Even though most people put jam and butter on all types of bread they eat, sometimes there's a type of bread you only want to eat with butter because it just tastes better with only butter, and sometimes you want to eat a type of bread with only jam. And there's people who only like jam and there's people who only like butter, and there's people that don't like either.
Sometimes someone will like butter or jam, but prefer to get used to the taste of the bread alone before putting anything on it (demi). Some people are only sometimes in the mood for jam or butter, or have no particularly strong craving for it (grey). Some people almost never like jam or butter but will suddenly get a craving for it (aro/ace spike).
There are people who don't like butter or jam, but if you give them some bread with it, they won't complain. Maybe out of politeness, maybe they don't care that much because it just doesn't have any flavor to them. There's people who, if they eat something with butter or jam, they will throw up because they're allergic to it.
And then there's people who eat bread with Nutella (qprs).
