(PAGE A WIP) Amor-selective is an identity underneath the ENM umbrella, which describes an individual who is open to, or has the capability to enjoy a particular amount or a few types of relationships. For example, a person may be interested in pluriads (or a particular pluriad) and monoamory/monogamy, but unwilling to participate in any other partnership. It can also be known as Amoselective, Seleamorous, or Amor-minoric.
The counterpart to amor-selective is amor-majoric.
Differentiation/inclusivity information
Amor-selective stretches to an interest in a min. of two types of partnership, in order to maintain the labels purpose whilst having an element of inclusivity. The label does not exclude anyone of a particular identity in another region - aka gender and sexual/romantic orientation(s), and can be used with or without experience in relationships amor-selective concerns. A person who identifies with amor-selective can identify as non-monogamous (ENM) as well. Amor-selective differs from polyamorous because individuals may also end up occupying monoamorous/monogamous partnerships, though this is always not the case. It is also different from monopoly as amor-selective people would not typically be open to every type of partnership within non-monoamory (aka non-monogamy). As a whole, amor-selective differs from other orientations because of it’s specification.
