The '''split attraction model''', or '''SAM''', is a model which differentiates [[attraction]] into different [[:Category:Attraction|forms of attraction]], each of which may have it's own orientation. The SAM has historically been important to the [[
The split attraction model is often used to describe how one's sexual orientation and romantic orientation interact and are distinct. For example an individual may be [[heteroromantic]] and [[bisexual]]. A-spec individuals may use the SAM to describe which forms of attraction they do experience. An [[asexual]] individual may experience romantic attraction and an [[aromantic]] individual may experience sexual attraction, and the SAM allows such individuals to describe their orientations separately. Some individuals may also include [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attraction]] orientations in their identities.<ref>https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-split-attraction-model-5207380</ref> An individual whose [[sexual orientation]] and [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]] don't match may identify as [[varioriented]].

Not all a-spec individuals use the split attraction model, most notably are [[Non-SAM Aro|non-SAM aros]]. Some individuals prefer more precise terms for differentiating forms attraction, including "[[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]]" or "romantic orientation labeling," "attraction types," "attraction subtyping," or "differentiating types of attraction." Not every individual who experiences different types of attraction necessarily has a distinct romantic orientation, and not every individual who has a romantic orientation necessarily experiences multiple types of attraction.<ref>[https://theacetheist.wordpress.com/2019/03/20/remodeling-on-the-reclamation-of-the-term-split-attraction-model/ Remodeling]</ref><ref>[https://theacetheist.wordpress.com/2019/05/16/three-narratives-of-non-rosol-identity-in-the-aro-community/ Three Narratives of Non-Rosol Identity in the Aro Community]</ref>

The first recorded instance of an orientation model describing split attraction was in 1879 by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a German writer who published twelve books on [[Unstraight|non-heterosexual]] attraction. In those books, Ulrichs came up with various classifications of orientations which are fairly similar to modern LGBTA+ identities. Among his works he described individuals who are 'konjunktiver and disjunktiver' or 'conjunctive and disjunctive [[bisexual]]ity'<ref>http://hubertkennedy.angelfire.com/FirstTheorist.pdf</ref>. The first is described as one who has both 'tender' and 'passionate' feelings for both [[men]] and [[women]]. The second is one who has 'tender' feelings for men, but 'passionate' feelings for women (if the individual was a man - the reverse if they were a woman). However, Ulrichs' model never caught on due to its complexity.
