Azromantic (pronounced ‘as’ or ‘ays’) is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum. It describes one that is aro-spec but doesn’t feel like they are in the spectrum and that they actually feel like they are alloromantic.
Some experiences may include:
- Experiencing tertiary attraction, that feel as if they are alloromantic.
- Feeling alloromantic (as opposed to identifying as alloromantic) even though they are aro-spec to one gender but is aro-spec and feels aro-spec to another. An example could be, one is demiromantic to females but experience alterous attraction to males which makes the attraction to males feel alloromantic.
Its counterpart is azsexual
