'''Tertiary attraction''' is an umbrella term, that originated in [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] communities, to describe forms of attraction other than romantic and sexual. Typically, for [[allosexual]]/romantics relationships contain a mix of many or all of these forms of attraction, but when one or more forms of attraction is missing, such as with [[Aromantic|aromantics]] and [[Asexual|asexuals]], it becomes easier for [[A-Spec|a-spec]] people to identify alternate forms of attraction. |
|||
While often dismissed by society tertiary attractions can be felt just as strongly as the attraction experienced by [[Allosexual|alloromantics/sexuals]]. Those who are [[aroace]] and feel like their tertiary attraction is important enough to warrant a place along side their aroace identity may identity as [[Oriented Aroace|oriented aroace]] or [[Angled Aroace|angled aroace]]. |
|||
Tertiary attractions can be given modifiers using the usual prefixes. For example one can be bialterous, meaning they experience alterous attraction towards people of two or more genders. |
|||
Tertiary attraction is named such because romantic and sexual attraction are typically split into the 'main' two attractions using the [[Split Attraction Model (SAM)|split attraction model]]. |
