Non-SAM Ace

A Non-SAM Ace is an asexual person who does not use the split attraction model (SAM). A non-SAM ace is only asexual and does not identify with any aromantic or alloromantic identity. There are many reasons why one might identify not use the SAM, including not being able to differentiate between romantic attraction and other types of attraction like platonic, feeling as though one's asexual identity is one's most important identity, or choosing to disregard romantic labels for oneself because one doesn’t find them useful, relevant, or worth the effort.
