The '''split attraction model''' or '''SAM''' is a model of attraction used by many [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] and [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] individuals to describe their identity, although it can also be used by those who are not [[A-Spec|a-spec]]. The SAM states that for some, [[sexual attraction]] and [[romantic attraction]] are two different things. For example, an [[asexual]] may feel romantic attraction, and an [[aromantic]] may feel sexual attraction. In those cases the [[A-Spec|a-spec]] individual may describe their identity using the SAM in order to express both aspects of their identity. Some may also include their [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attractions]] in their use of SAM. |

If someone's [[Sexual Orientation|sexual]] and [[Romantic Orientation|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|romantic orientation]] don't match might identify as [[varioriented]]. |
