Nonalterous, also known as a-alterous or analterous, is an orientation where one does not experience alterous attraction. Nonalterous people may still engage in activities typically defined by alterous attraction, such as strong emotional connections or relationships.
The opposite of nonalterous would be alloalterous, where one experiences alterous attraction.
