Juvelic Orientations

Juvelic Orientations are a category of orientations that are based on one's gender and who they are attracted to. For example, lesbian is a juvelic orientation because only women or feminine aligned-people can be lesbians. An example of non-juvelic orientation would be bisexual, as anyone can be bisexual, regardless of their gender. All the orientations in the gender-loving-gender format are inherently juvelic because they tell one's gender and who one is attracted to. However not all juvelic orientations are in the gender-loving-gender format. Terms such as diamoric, feminamoric, gai, marsic, strayt, ultramoric, venusic, and viramoric are all examples of juvelic orientations that don't explicitly use the glg system.

Juvelic orientations most commonly refer to men, women, and non-binary (or some combination of those three), however any gender(s) can be used in describing a juvelic orientation. Juvelic orientations can also be use be a-spec individuals, as juvelic orientations can be used to refers to sexual orientation, romantic orientation, or any tertiary attractions one has.
