Toric, also known as quadrisian, is a diamoric orientation that refers to non-binary individuals 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 individuals, regardless of alignment, though non-binary individuals attracted to men do not have to identify with these terms.
The feminine equivalent to toric and quadrisian is trixic.
Etymology
The term toric originates from the Latin suffix tor, denoting masculine agent nouns such as cantor. The feminine counterpart is trix.
Quadrisian is based on the Latin word for rectangle, quad, due to the fact that men and masculinity are often represented by rectangles and angular shapes in western art.
