Boreasexual is a term in which one has an exception to ones usual sexual orientation. Depending on the oriented this exception might revolve around a specific idea; commonly a single person. This could mean one is normally asexual but is sexually attracted to a specific person or that one is normally heterosexual but experiences homosexuality to a specific person/partner. This attraction often breaks for a single person, if that person were to not date/lose attraction to that person, it is unlikely they would continue to identify with this label, as the break in attraction is often definite.
