    '''Toric''' (also known as '''Quadrisian''') is a [[diamoric]] orientation that refers to [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people who are attracted to men. This can be exclusive attraction or not. If one is exclusively attracted to men one might also identity as [[viramoric]]. While only quadrisian was specifically created as a non-binary equivalent of [[achillean]], both terms can be used as such. It may be abbreviated to nblm (non-binary loving men). Toric or quadrisian can be used by any non-binary person, regardless of [[Gender Alignment|alignment]], though non-binary people attracted to men do not have to identify with these terms.
