    '''Affinitive Orientations''' (also called '''Affectional Orientations''') is a term used when describing orientations. It is an umbrella term for any orientations that describe which gender(s) one is or is not attracted to. It includes terms such as [[bisexual|bi]], [[pansexual|pan]], [[asexual|ace]], [[lesbian]], [[gay]], and most other orientation labels that do not fall under the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] or [[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrum]]. Affinitive orientations are most commonly associated with [[Sexual Attraction|sexual]] and [[Romantic Attraction|romantic attraction]], but the term can be applied to any [[Tertiary Attraction|forms of attraction]]. For example, terms like [[aplatonic]] or [[Omnisexual|omni]][[Alterous Attraction|alterous]] are affinitive orientations.
