The Pluric Attraction Model (PAM) is a system of terms specifically for members within a plural system whose orientation is different in the headspace than it is while fronting. This term is often used when one's attraction to other system members is different than one's attraction to people in the outerworld.
This could be due to an individual having a different gender when fronting, however this is not always the case.
PAM Subsets
