#cross-orientation

[coppershade0]

Finally accepting that I am not bisexual but homoromantic heterosexual and that I like sex with women the way an asexual does. I am a sex positive asexual with women and a completely aroallo sexual partner with men. Sucks to be but good to admit. But also, good to be. In a weird way.

Polyvariangled Pride Flag

Polyvariangled (formerly ambivarioriented/equivarioriented): an individual who has various orientations for multiple relationships. For example, one may be asexual and alloromantic to one partner, whilst being aromantic and allosexual to another partner. This may also include tertiary attractions, such as platonic, sensual, or other.

Must have different orientations for different individuals

Must be polyamorous or biamorous

Similar to schrosespec. See also: singulu-, kena-, apres-, queerotic, queeragamic, schrö-.

Varioriented, crossoriented, incongruent attractions, mixed, split or mismatched orientation: when your sexual and romantic orientations do not target the same set of genders (i.e. aromantic pansexual or biromantic heterosexual).

So homoromantic multisexual or just pluralian lesbian. ~ ap

In response to kalinhop's ask about identities where sexual and romantic orientations aren't the same:

Okay, so it is surprisingly difficult to find resources on this. The most common term I've found is cross-orientation, and it has some good stuff attached. All of the resources I've found come from within the asexual community, but are certainly not limited to aces in scope.

I would recommend checking out:

The Thinking Asexual's cross-orientation sexuality tag. It's only got a few posts, but they are quality.

Asexuality.org has several ask threads about this phenomenon. These are less about resources and more about explaining to the beleaguered questioner that they are normal, that their orientation has a word, and that they are not the only ones. If you are looking for reassurance that you aren't the only one, I'd check these out, and I'm sure there's more in there.

You can always investigate tumblr tags for particular crossed orientations (my bisexual homoromantic search turned up a bunch of people's abouts and queer headcanons). I'm sorry I can't be more helpful!

Followers, any ideas?
