    '''Tertiary Attraction''' is a term from [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] communities to describe forms of attraction other than romantic and sexual. Typically romantic relationship contain a mix of all of these forms of attraction, but, because one or more form of attraction is missing it becomes easier for [[A-Spec|a-spec]] people to point out alternate forms of attraction.
    '''Non-rose'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220319071054/https://arokill.tumblr.com/post/674747016855879681/non-rose Nonrose coining]</ref> or '''tertiary attraction''' is an [[umbrella term]] originating in the [[aroace]] communities which describes forms of [[attraction]] besides [[romantic]] and [[sexual]] [[attraction]]s, or besides [[physical]] and [[emotional]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230526003116/https://www.tumblr.com/shades-of-grayro/186281760190/thoughts-on-defining-oriented-aroace-i-had-been Thoughts on defining “oriented aroace”]</ref>


    For individuals who are not [[a-spec]], a partnership may involve many or all forms of attraction. When one or more form of attraction is not experienced, such as with [[aromantic]] and [[asexual]] individuals, it may become easier to identify more specific forms of attraction.
    While often dismissed by society tertiary attractions can be felt just as strongly as the attraction experienced by [[Allosexual|alloromantics/sexuals]].

    Tertiary attraction is named such because romantic and sexual attraction are typically split into the 'main' two attractions using the [[Split Attraction Model|split attraction model]].


    An individual who experiences tertiary attraction may use the term [[orientated]] to express it as their identity without necessarily using the [[Split Attraction Model (SAM)|split attraction model]] or another specific [[Amative Orientations|amative]] or [[Affinitive Orientations|affinitive orientation]], as well as [[orientationless]].

    Non-rose[1] or tertiary attraction is an umbrella term originating in the aroace communities which describes forms of attraction besides romantic and sexual attractions, or besides physical and emotional.[2]

    For individuals who are not a-spec, a partnership may involve many or all forms of attraction. When one or more form of attraction is not experienced, such as with aromantic and asexual individuals, it may become easier to identify more specific forms of attraction.

    Aroaces who experience nonsexual/nonromantic attraction may identity as oriented aroace or angled aroace, or may simply use another orientation label in addition to aromantic and asexual.[3]

    An individual who experiences tertiary attraction may use the term orientated to express it as their identity without necessarily using the split attraction model or another specific amative or affinitive orientation, as well as orientationless.

    Specific orientation labels can be derived from each attraction type using any of the prefixes used for sexual or romantic attractions. For example, one may be bisensual, meaning they experience sensual attraction towards individuals of two or more genders.

    Individuals who do not experience tertiary attraction may identify as atertiary or nontertiary. Aroace individuals who do not experience tertiary attraction may identify as electioaroace or anattractional.
