For example, one would not have to say "pansexual and panromantic", as they could just say they're [[pansexual]]. The exception to this is [[aroace]], which is often said together because only saying one could imply that one is [[Alloromantic Asexual|alloromantic asexual]] or [[Aromantic Allosexual|allosexual aromantic]] or lead to other confusion. Someone whose sexual orientation and romantic orientation don't match might identify as [[varioriented]].

''In the book Tennov described 'limerence' a form of attraction which could be described as a crush, or an infatuation with someone. Although Tennov viewed sex as being a part of limerence she acknowledged that it was not the main focus of it.
