Toric (also known as Quadrisian) is a diamoric orientation that refers to 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 alignment, though non-binary people attracted to men do not have to identify with these terms.
The feminine equivalent to toric/quadrisian is trixic/orbisian.
Etymology
The term toric originates from the Latin suffix "-tor" denoting masculine agent nouns such as "cantor", with the feminine counterpart of this suffix being "-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.
History and Flag
Quadrisian was coined by Tumblr user demisexual-yuri, which is now deactivated, circa July 17th, 2017.[1] Continuing that line of thought, toric was coined by Tumblr user Bigendering in collaboration with some of their friends (including tumblr user demisexual-yuri) on a discord server, on July 20th, 2017.[2]
The toric flag was designed by Tumblr user Diamoricmlm-and-nblm on October 17th 2017[3], based off the orbisian flag. Green and purple represent being non-binary. Blue represents attraction to men. In the center is the non-binary symbol overlapping the symbol for men.
The alternative toric flag was created by an anonymous wiki user on April 20, 2021. The aqua/mint stripes represent non-binary attraction to men. The flower in the center is a Sweet William flower, which is commonly used to represent gallantry, finesse, masculinity, manhood, and strength. The flag was designed to follow the same format as the sapphic, achillean, and diamoric flags, as well as similar flags for juvelic orientations.
