If someone's sexual and romantic orientation are the same they can simply use one word (this is called [[perioriented]]). 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]]. |

Not all a-spec individualsuse the SAM, and one should not assume that another uses the SAM until the other individuals say so. Most notably are [[Non-SAM Aro|non-SAM aros]], but some prefer more precise terms including "romantic orientation" (or "romantic orientation labeling," for the personal use of terms like aromantic) and "attraction types," "attraction subtyping," or "differentiating types of attraction." Not everyone who experiences different types of attraction necessarily has a distinct romantic orientation, and not everyone 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 a model of orientation taking into account split attraction was in 1879, by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a German writer, who published 12 books on 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 individualswho are ' konjunktiver and disjunktiver' or 'conjunctive and disjunctive bisexuality'<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 the complexity. |

The next instance of separating sexual and romantic attraction was in 1979 by the psychologist Dorothy Tennov. With the publication of her book '<nowiki/>''Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love'''<ref>http://dannyreviews.com/h/Love_Limerence.html</ref>''. ''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. |
