    '''Perioriented''' refers to someone whose [[Sexual Orientation|sexual orientation]] and [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]] have "matching" prefixes. For example, someone who is [[bisexual]] and [[biromantic]], or someone who is [[gay]] (homosexual) and homoromantic are both examples of perioriented people. The noun form is periorientation.

    Most perioriented people do not specify their romantic orientation, because one's romantic orientation can be assumed to be the same as sexual orientation unless specified otherwise. The exception to this is strictly [[aromantic]] [[asexual]] ([[aroace]]) people, as they are perioriented but do specify both orientations.
